Our emotions in dreams can help us understand its meaning. Pay attention to how you felt in the dream. Pay attention to how you feel about egos in dreams. See how you feel about egos now, in your waking life.

What are possible meanings for dreams of egos?

Ah, the ego. Such a misunderstood and sometimes maligned component of the psyche, and so important to understanding your dreams. See: Psyches

The ego is equated with your personal identity, “I,” but the psyche is actually a “we,” and here’s where the confusion begins. Most folks have little awareness of anything about themselves beyond their ego. Their approach is dictator or lone wolf instead of CEO—they don’t know better.

The ideal relationship between the ego and the rest of the psyche is like a CEO’s relationship with a board of directors. The ego is first among equals, taking input from all sources before making decisions. But this relationship can get askew, to the point of being like master and slave, and when it does you are sure to dream about it.

When the ego gets out of balance with the rest of the psyche, dreams compensate, meaning they go just as far the other direction. If you’re too full of yourself, you can dream of scenes involving humbling and absurdity and things blown out of proportion. If your ego is weak, you might dream about slaves and things that slink and grovel, that are small or powerless, or even that are overly strong, like a bully. See: Bullies, Compensation, Cowards

Your dreams are a big part of the individuation process, a term coined by Carl Jung to describe the journey of life that begins with a helpless child and ends ideally with a fully mature, complete person. To do this, first your ego must be made strong, to act as a bridge for reaching the next level of maturity. It can then be reintegrated with the unconscious, except now as a much stronger and better-defined entity. This is where most people get stuck. They spend all that time building up the ego and don’t want to give it up. In this sense, dreams act as a bridge between the ego and the unconscious. See: Unconscious minds

Your dream-ego is basically your ego in dreamland, except that the filters are off, and the reactions are raw and honest. Most dreams boil down to stories about the relationship between the ego and everything in your inner and outer life—which is to say, basically, everything.

You don’t play by the same rules in dreamland. There, you can do anything you want—the only constraints are what you place on yourself. But you have a built-in circuit breaker that won’t allow you to venture too far or access parts of the mind you can’t handle.

When reflecting on a dream, step into the shoes of the dream-ego. See everything from that inside perspective. It helps you remember what the dream really feels like while having it. A dream is an experience and should be treated and honored as such. It’s not something that just happens. It happens to you, and in the deepest reaches of your mind it registers the same as the experiences you have in your waking life. That’s a very, very important fact. To the rest of your psyche beyond the ego, your dreams are just as real as your reality while your eyes are open.

The ego can be represented as a circle within a circle. See: Circles

Ego is associated with persona.

The entry for Eat details a dream about the dreamer’s inflated ego.

Psychedelic dream- third eye, mask falling off, u know the usual

Had the wildest dream, felt like a trip.

My body was floating in space, surrounded by stars and darkness. I felt something cutting through half my face, like a laser beam. It wasn’t painful but definitely a sensation. Then I saw a giant purple eye above me, it wasn’t looking at me , just past my head and in a deep booming voice it said “third eye activation” and then surges of energy passed through it into me while half my face was being lifted off. Imagine like the Pink Floyd album cover, the triangle is the eye and the rainbow’s it’s energy.

Half way I protested, I was afraid and I started pulling my face back down. The voice was confused like “I thought this is what you wanted?” And I starting giving all the energy back to the eye. For some reason, I was afraid of the eye and thought it was trying to mind control me and gave all that energy back.

When I woke up I felt conflicted. I feel conflicted because I’m at a crossroads with my life right now. On one hand, I could pursue my dream and fulfil my ego by gaining success, popularity, achievement, fame, money. But I’d follow a route of material wealth. On the other, I could commit myself to this spiritual path and take it to another level. And although that path is uncertain, it could lead me to a deeper spiritual truth, truth of self and in turn probably make me more happy. So which do I choose, the route of my egoic self or my soul?

Following the soul sounds like the right thing to do but following something with no sense of control and so blindly is frightening, even for a wild coyote like me.

Advice?

Divine intervention in a dream- what does it mean?

Randomly my friends boyfriend installed a gym in his apartment complex to impress my friend’s mom
I fell in love with a British man, the perfect relationship we will call him Thomas
He recounted all of our inside jokes from day 1, reminding me when I forgot
We went to ride horses, went on adventures everyday
We had so many laughs
Thomas then showed me women being driven in a bus, to a field with broken horses and forced out to be killed
I asked why did you show me this
He said “the ego is motivations and drives that create a personality, don’t be attracted to this, be attracted to the soul”

What does it MEAN! This feels like divine intervention

Someone called Archibald contacted me in A dream..

When I met him, I said "I didn't know you existed! At first I heard you name, it sounds familiar.. Then I remembered. You're that Archibald!"
I was overjoyed when he met me. Even though I didn't know any Archibald in real life.

But when I want to ask him something, he silenced me by saying,
"First, do not get power for this body.
Second, if you did get power for this body, your story wouldn't get passed."
There's a third, but I don't remember... Something about ego.

I'm confused.

The senate doesn't approve of pedophilia

had a 20 second dream, some pedo was creeping on a friend of mine, then palpatine screams "ITS TREASON THEN" and proceeds to float directly into the sky like a buggy Bethesda character, then come flying back in and rams the pedo like Yondu did to Ego in Guardians of the galaxy 2, except instead of yondu it was old man palpatine and the ship was a star destroyer with a plastic horse mask painted on to it

Cat King

Had a dream where I was a cat and my brother in spirit was also a cat was sniffing my pelvis. We were on floating platforms and we raced to the top where I met my Cat dad in spirit. We shot some breeze and I talked to him in an excited manner as if it's been a lifetime since I've seen him. A women of my past life flies by. I call her hot she calls me immature and reminds me of this curse I set up her where her face looks like a butt suggesting she must have hurt me so I had a curse set on her. My father breaks a shell on my back with a hammer, it pains slightly and I believe this was a metaphorical shell (like an ego?)

I had another dream where I had a kingdom and My Father (God) had recently established a burger shack in it. All of a sudden I see an old spirit friend and I say something and he replies you're a "Cat King!"
