An interpretation of soul dreams

An interpretation of soul 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. Soul is commonly perceived as the inner essence of a person, also thought of as your eternal self. But think more broadly, and remember that dreams create physical representations of personal situations. For example, a dream about the souls of neighborhood children rising into the sky connects with the dreamer’s perception that people must sacrifice something essential about themselves to afford to live in his neighborhood, and for parents that work all the time it means sacrificing time with their children. Soul can also be used in the sense of “that guy has soul.” It means a person has depth and special personal qualities. He or she is authentic. If you dream that someone does not have a soul, it can mean you perceive him or her as shallow. He has no heart. She’s fake. See: Faking, Imposters Soul can refer to something that affects you deeply, “heart and soul.” A dream about losing your soul can symbolize the sense that you’re losing something essential about yourself. Something is draining the life out of you. Or you are losing a special connection, either with another person or with something related to spirituality or your inner being. See: Blood Soul in a dream can refer to a man’s anima or a woman’s animus. See: Animas, Animuses Soul can refer to your connection with God and spirituality. It can be used in a story about your inner development and spiritual life, or your connection with your fellow human beings. See: Collective unconscious It can show your positive connections with other people and with nature. See: The earth Be sure also to read: Spirit.
