An interpretation of ego dreams

An interpretation of ego 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. 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.
