I believe Dr. Sarno mentions in HBP that our dreams can offer us a peek into our unconscious. I can't think of the exact wording, but it's a chance for our unconscious to express itself.
Last night I was riding a bicycle in water about 2-3 inches deep. There's a cool web site called www.dreammoods.com and they have a "dream dictionary". (Fun thing to look at when you have a few minutes.)
The bicycle appears to symbolize wanting balance in your life. I found the explanation for water in your dream very interesting:
"To see water in your dream, symbolizes your unconscious and your emotional state of mind. Water is the living essence of the psyche and the flow of life energy. It is also symbolic of spirituality, knowledge, healing and refreshment. To dream that water is boiling, suggests that you are expressing some emotional turmoil. It also may mean that feelings from your unconscious are surfacing and ready to be acknowledged.
To see calm, clear water in your dream, signifies that you are in tune with your spirituality. It denotes serenity, peace of mind, and rejuvenation.
To see muddy or dirty water in your dream, indicates that you are wallowing in your negative emotions. You may need to devote some time to clarify your mind and find internal peace. Alternatively, it suggests that your thinking/judgment is unclear and clouded. If you are immersed in muddy water, then it indicates that you are in over your head in a situation and are overwhelmed by your emotions.
To dream that water is rising up in your house, signifies your struggles and overwhelming emotions.
To hear running water in your dream, denotes meditation, reflection and pondering of your thoughts and emotions.
To dream that you are walking on water, suggests that you have supreme and ultimate control over your emotions. It may also suggest that you need to "stay on top" of your emotions and not let them explode out of hand. Alternatively, it is symbolic of faith in yourself."
I'm not sure what it means when I was riding a bike THROUGH the water (can't remember if it was clear or muddy), but maybe it means I'm finally finding balance in my life, and breaking through to the emotional side??
Anyway - it's fun to try and figure out what dreams might symbolize! Hope you are all dreaming good things! (Like Santa Claus  ) |
