In the image of an egg you see potential for something new to emerge, new life. It could be a physical representation of something emerging in you such as a new personality trait, desire or idea. Eggs are associated with birth. The egg can symbolize the birth of something in yourself or your life, or something emerging from the unconscious mind. See: Giving birth, Unconscious minds The symbolism can connect with learning about your natural abilities and realizing your potential. It can symbolize entering a new phase of life or taking on a new role, such as a job or becoming a parent. An egg in a dream can symbolize incubation, as in incubating a thought or idea. Something is gradually coming to maturity or getting ready to emerge from yourself. It is not yet fully conscious or developed. Incubation can mean you are in a period of rest or contemplation. If the shell of an egg is cracked, it can symbolize fragility. It can mean your feelings are fragile, or a situation is delicate. It can mean that clumsiness or too much force leads to misfortune or damage. For example, dreaming about your spouse with a cracked egg can mean now’s the time to go easy on the person. Or it’s a delicate time for the relationship. The same imagery, though, can also indicate “coming out of your shell.” You might be learning to really show yourself, or be feeling comfortable engaging with people or with life. Symbolism shows through action. So for example, dreaming about juggling eggs and dropping one can symbolize being careless with something delicate. Dreaming about squeezing an egg can symbolize something that gets stronger the more pressure is applied. Females can dream about eggs in connection with the eggs in their ovaries, related to thoughts and feelings about conception, children, and family. Eggs tend to appear in the dreams of women concerned about the onset of menopause. In this sense, counting eggs in a dream can symbolize guessing how much longer a woman has to get pregnant. Eggs are also a common theme in dreams related to getting pregnant—it’s a way for the body to tell the mind that an egg has been fertilized, or a woman is ovulating. See: Ovaries, Pregnancy The idea of fertility extends further to include the fertility of the planet, Mother Earth, and of the soul, both of which are symbolized as the egg in some cultures. It is not necessary for you to know that the egg is a symbol of Mother Earth or soul. It is an archetypal symbol, meaning universal, and its symbolism is embedded in the collective unconscious. Finding a basket or nest of eggs can symbolize discovering something about yourself, especially in relation to inherited traits and talents. It can symbolize resources stored for the future, as in “nest egg.” It can indicate a physical inheritance in the form of money or possessions. Decayed or rotten eggs can indicate bad intention and character. A “rotten egg” is a bad person. To be pelted by eggs can indicate defamation or dishonesty. The idiom “egg on your face” means embarrassment. See also: Birds, Chicken, Collective unconscious, The earth, Food, Menstruation, Ovaries, Pregnancy, Vaginas, Unconscious minds, Uteruses
