Net

The net is classically ambiguous — what holds you in dreams of entanglement, or what gathers what you need in dreams of fishing. Hindu tradition speaks of Indra’s net, a cosmic web in which each intersection reflects every other — an image of interbeing. Jungian analysis treats nets as social or relational webs: a dream of being caught in a net often arrives when the dreamer feels obligated beyond capacity. A dream of casting a net, by contrast, suggests a readiness to gather. Notice what is caught, and whose net it is.
