Common dreams
A Baby
A new beginning that cannot yet walk on its own.
A Dead Loved One
Someone you have lost arrives in the dream — alive, themselves, often saying something.
A Flood
Water rising into a familiar room. Feeling overwhelming a structure.
A Snake
Transformation, the friction of the new shedding the old.
A Storm
Wind, rain, lightning. Atmospheric weather as inner weather.
An Old House — the Childhood Home
You are back in the house you grew up in. Sometimes peaceful, sometimes haunted.
Being Chased
Something pursues you — what it is, and what it wants, are the dream's question.
Death (Your Own)
You die in the dream. Almost never literal — almost always the death of an old self.
Falling
A loss of footing — control slipping, or a letting-go the psyche is rehearsing.
Flying
You are aloft, sometimes effortlessly, sometimes barely. Composure or escape.
Lost — Can't Find the Way
Streets that change, doors that move, a familiar place gone unfamiliar.
Spiders
Webs, weaving, and small horror. A symbol with two faces.
Water
The unconscious itself, in some state — calm, churning, deep, frozen, flooded.
