An interpretation of castration dreams

An interpretation of castration dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. The testicles are associated with manhood, so when used figuratively, castration can symbolize an attack on manhood. It means “take away a man’s strength or maleness,” attacking or removing his authority or other traits associated with masculinity, especially aggression or pride. It can sum up how a man feels when someone attacks his manhood: like his balls have been cut off. What is a man without his testicles? Less than other men. He doesn’t have what it takes. See: Testicles For females, the imagery of being castrated carries the same suggestion. She doesn’t have testicles, but figuratively she can have “balls.” Castration can symbolize feeling attacked for her masculine traits. Castration can symbolize emasculation, knowing how to hit a man where it hurts and undermine his authority and confidence. That image can sum up how a man undermines his own masculinity through how he perceives himself and talks to himself. The nagging female voice in his head—a shadow of his anima—emasculates him. Castrating an animal can symbolize gaining control of animal instincts—especially sexual instincts, cravings or drives. For example, dreaming about castrating a bull can symbolize taming or stifling sex drive. The testicles are involved with procreation, so removing them can symbolize stifling creativity or self-expression. It can express fear of sexual impotency, failing to measure up in the bedroom, or decline in strength and virility. It can mean sacrificing the ability to have children. Spiritually, castration can symbolize giving up sex to devote yourself to spiritual life. The feeling is entirely different from when castration means something else.
