Hey, sono.

I found the short descriptions of common scenarios very useful:


The basic metaphor in chase dreams is usually the "death" that I am so desperately trying to avoid. "Death" in the dream world is the single most frequent archetypal image of growth and development that the unconscious has to offer. (Dreams do depict psycho-spiritual growth and change in other ways, but death is by far the most common and universal.)

I can use this here: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=20192 (http://forums.astraldynamics.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=20192)


We must do it--and the longer we postpone expressing our deepest emotions, the more likely it is we will have the archetypal "I need to pee and there's no comfortable place to do it!" dream.

Recently I had a dream where in the end I had to pee and could find no toilet - I took it as "I can't get relief." In fact - toilets have been a recurring dream symbol for me, be they exploding (!), clean and shiny, and so on.


"Hair" in the dream world is a reliable metaphor of the other stuff that comes spontaneously out of our heads, namely our thoughts and opinions.

This would come in handy here: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=20671 (http://forums.astraldynamics.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=20671)

In other words: Top-notch link! 8)

Thank you,
