War
A
situation of war in a dream indicates a clash of unconscious elements of
the dreamer's personality or problems from the past which have not been
overcome. |
Water
Water
is vitally necessary for any kind of life on this earth. It is a
symbol of psychic energy - referring to the 'water of life'. |
Weapons
Weapons
like machine guns or other firearms are signals of over dominant aggressive
tendencies. In psychoanalysis, these weapons are seen as sexual symbols.. |
Wedding
As
a rule, dreams of weddings are references to a couple's life together,
not without problems nowadays. A sacrificial ritual is often
also experienced. It is an indication that every tie or bond means
sacrificing independence. The nature of the dream sacrifice, however,
rarely refers to reality but much more to the dreamer's own fears. |
Witch
In
a dream, the witch appears as a negative mother-symbol. She embodies
the bewitching, threatening and destructive aspects of womanhood. It
is she who bewitches man and precipitates him into sexual dependency. |
Woman,
unknown woman
Unknown
females in women's dream's are symbols of the dreamer's alter ego or shadow,
as Jung called it. Their activities serve the purpose of making the
consciousness aware of unconscious attributes or modes of behavior.
If unknown female figures appear in men's dreams, they symbolizes the female
elements discernible in every male personality. Jung's name for this
psychic aspect of the male personality is the Anima. To a certain
extent, the figure of the Anima embodies the man's female spiritual characteristics
- his moods, his feelings, his misgivings - as well as the nature of his
relationship with women in reality. The development of this side
of his personality is decided naturally by his mother. The ideal image
of women which a man carries in his psyche is illustrated by the figures
of unknown women in his dreams. Their actions show the dreamer which expectations
he is projecting onto his partner in real life. Experience has shown
that most conflicts arise when this image does not correspond with the
real-life woman.
If
the figure of an older woman appears, who bears the characteristics of
one's own mother or grandmother, the relationship of the dreamer to these
women should be taken into account when interpreting the dream. If,
however, the figure of the older woman is unfamiliar, then (according to
Jung) we have the archetypal symbol of the Great Mother.
