There are some dreams which it seems that everyone has experienced at one time or another. They are related to archetypal themes and I have picked three of them for today’s post. As usual I would love to hear your comments.

These examples are taken from my free e-book which you can reserve by clicking here by 19th May 2009

Dreams of teeth may relate to Saturn, ruler of Capricorn (picture used under licence and attributed to Twice25 and Rinina 25)

One of my pet hates in dream interpretation is the use of the blanket phrase ‘anxiety dream’ or ‘insecurity dream’ in order to explain away a wide variety of dreams, all unique to each individual and all containing subtle differences which can greatly aid interpretation. Yes, dreaming of teeth falling out is clearly an anxiety dream (unless you do not feel anxious when dreaming it). However, the particular symbol of teeth relates equally clearly to growth and change. The teeth are one of the only parts of the body that provide a physical marker of growth and age. Our teeth fall out during childhood to mark our movement away from suckling and into independence and also during old age, a reminder of the reality of death. Dreaming of teeth falling out seems to happen when we are anxious about a transition in our lives; it is related to the Tarot card of Death and the Astrology sign, Capricorn.

Could your Shadow be chasing you?

The clothes we are wearing in a dream often illustrate how we express ourselves in waking life. In the same way, being naked (again usually an anxiety dream) highlights that we are very open and naive when relating to others. If the dreamer does feel anxious in this type of dream I would advise being more guarded when in social situations.

When we are being chased in a dream it is very likely that it is the Shadow archetype that we are fleeing. This is the part of us that we do not accept as it contains all of our unwanted vices and talents. In Jung’s theory, the Shadow becomes an autonomous part of the psyche, basically a real entity in itself. Facing the Shadow is one of the most healing things we can do in our dreams as we have the opportunity to regain our lost talents as well as overcoming deep-rooted fears. Facing the Shadow is related to the theme of the Strength card in the Tarot and surfaces in numerous myths and art forms, wherever a confrontation between the hero and arch-villain occurs. The inability to move may be a dim awareness of the physical paralysis that accompanies most people’s dreaming state.
