Circle

The circle is perhaps the universal symbol of the Self. Jung spent his last decades studying mandalas across cultures — Tibetan, Navajo, medieval Christian rose windows — and concluded they all render the same thing: the psyche in integrated form. A dream circle is almost always a good omen, even when its contents unsettle. What sits at the center matters. A child at the center suggests newness; an empty circle, a possibility awaiting inhabitants; a figure you can’t identify, the Self not yet recognized. Notice whether you are inside or outside the circle, and whether you are drawing, walking, or destroying it.
