November 2013

This month I would like to talk to you about symbols used in dreaming. One thing we need to understand about symbols is they can mean different things, depending on the person, where they see it or how it was used. Having said that here are a few starting points that we can ponder. Water in a dream usually signifies our emotions, notice whether the water is calm, stormy, flooding, drying up.

Snakes often get a bad rap as people often think they are negative but it can be linked to varying emotions. It can represent our kundilini energy and its awakening or can mean renewal.

Baby can symbolize new beginnings or new emotions.

Money relates to our finances here, giving it can show generosity whilst hanging on to it can show meanness or fear of lack.

Boat or sailing again leads us to notice what the water is like. Is it smooth then we are lucky and will move forward on something positively. Rough waters can indicate something negative can be coming our way and to pay attention so we can avert it and falling from the boat into water can indicate great fear over something

we don’t feel is going to be good for us.

Clouds can indicate negative emotions we need to pass through. Are they breaking up or dark and gloomy?

Nudity can mean different things depending on how it is used. If you are embarrassed it may mean you are hiding something and afraid of being found out. It can mean you are exposed and feeling defenseless.

If you find yourself naked at work or at school it may mean you feel unprepared. If no-one else notices your nakedness it can mean your fears are unfounded and you are making something out of nothing. If you are proud of your nakedness then it can show you are proud of who you are or are going about being noticed in the wrong way.

Being chased is usually connected to feeling anxious and not confronting the situation but running from it. Pay attention to who is chasing you. Falling usually means you feel overwhelmed and out of control.

Again, you need to pay attention to how the symbol is used, where and what is happening to you. I wish you joy, peace and sweet dreams.

Love & blessings

Often dreams are very quickly forgotten. If you are wanting to pay more attention to what you are dreaming it is worthwhile to have a notebook and pen by your bed and quickly note down anything that you remember when you wake up as that is when the memory of your dream will be the most vivid.

I would then look for patterns in your dreams remembering that symbols can mean many things to different people but often there is an underlying theme you are trying to tell yourself.
