An interpretation of spiral 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. Spiral shapes are common in dreams about the development of the psyche in the quest toward wholeness. The spiral is basically a circle leading toward a center, and that image sums up the process of becoming whole as a person, of actualizing your potential, what Carl Jung calls individuation. In the image of a spiral you see progress, coming to points in life where you were previously but this time are further along, and next time around you’ll be further along still. Whether or not it represents progress in your outer life or inner life depends on the direction of movement. Center-out movement shows progress in your outer life. Outside-in shows progress in your inner life. Clockwise movement is toward your outer life, and counter-clockwise movement is toward your inner life. Circular movement around a central point, especially if it’s a tornado, symbolizes the energy of the psyche. See: Circles, Tornados A dream could use a spiral to show lack of progress, too. You can tell the difference from your feelings. When you make progress in your life or your consciousness, it feels good. To further explore the symbolism of spirals and relation to consciousness, look up Dan Winter’s explanation of infinite nondestructive compression.
