Articles of Magic: Dreams

Dreams can be an open window into our subconscious. Basically, the things we see in our dreams might be our minds trying to tell us something that when our mind is conscious, it can't understand.

Dreams might be messages from spirits, ghosts or maybe even other supernatural sources. Take one of my dreams for example:

I was at a weird white spiral tower with my mother and we saw a pink water tower. I tried to get off. So I went through the brown and red obstacle course then I accidently went into a bottomless pit.

There are some words in that dream that can tell the meaning of the dream.

Brown: This color can represent:

- Earthy or natural

- Plain or Basic

- Autumn, which can represent the winding down of an phase or cycle

Mother

This represents:

-Your real-life mother, an authority or caretaker figure (like an employer), or your spiritual parent (god and/or goddess)

- The idea of motherhood, motherly qualities, or parenthood in general

Pink

This color represents:

-Femininity or classically feminine qualities such as intuition, creativity, or compassion.

-Girlhood or even the inner child

-Fun, playfulness, spontaneousness, or lightness

Red

The color red can represent:

-Stimulating, exciting, exotic, full of life or vigor, or anger.

- Red can also appear in a dream to highlight something important.

Saw

Even though by saw I meant by "see" this can still be represented this way. (The tool) A saw, or the act of sawing, could represent:

-Division, separation, or destruction

-The process of dividing something into smaller pieces or sections, such as breaking down a problem in order to analyze it Splitting things apart, such as two people during the breakup of a relationship, or the parting of friends at the end of the school year.

For more clues to meaning, consider the context, how the saw is being used, and how you feel about it.

Spiral

The shape of a spiral or spring might represent:

-Energy or potential (as in the shape of a spring), or a process of descending (as in spiraling down) or losing control (as in spiraling out of control).

Consider what the shape means to you personally, and the way it appears in the dream.

Tower

-Isolation

-Limitation, restraint, inhibition, imprisonment

-Arrogance

-Tower, perceived power, or a wish for power
