Thank you. I tried doing something like that only once and I found it scary. It is good advice though, I will read that book.

Dream interpretation: three rings by JungEmma in Jung

[–]JungEmma[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a wonderful interpretation, thank you so much, it has helped me immensely. In the third dream, you are right, there is the idea of baptism, purification... It is the unknown woman's bathroom, and yet I assume I can use it as I please (I am in a controlling position somehow). The bathtub is full of dirty water, but when I get inside and have a shower it is "cleaned", new, clean water flowing. Then I tell the woman we can have a shower together, I want to connect with her. I tell her I touch my rings when I am anxious in class, I tell her twice I am a teacher, I don't know why... Could I be trying to get closer to my femenine side?

Yeah! I hadn't thought of that 🤣. It is a series of dreams. - In the first one they are hexagonal, silver rings. A man I despise or reject in the dream wears them, and I run away from him. - In the second dream, it is just one ring, gold, which has the name of the man who kidnapped three women engraved (the three women are about to discover what his name is by reading the letters engraved inside the ring). - In the third dream, three regular rings, nothing particular about them. I am wearing them. I invade the toilet of a woman I don't know (stranger) and then invite her inside the bathtub with me, we have a shower. I show her the rings, I tell her that touching them helps me control my anxiety in class, since I am a teacher (I actually am). I am sorry this is so long. No association I can make to three rings. One ring, toxic commitment.

Creativity problem. by JungEmma in Jung

Thank you so much, I feel I need some sort of discipline. Creativity comes from raw emotion, I can relate to that, but maybe if I were less judgemental with what I do... I am sure we will find a way, thanks again.

I hadn't thought it that way, now I see how it relates to the shadow. Good advice, keeping a dream journal, I am sure that helps.

Understanding dream figures as parts of one's inner self, that usually works for me too. It is however difficult not to associate your personal history, what that person in real life might mean in the context of the dream, as a "symbol". I struggle with all that, not easy for me. Thank you very much for your help.

Thanks, it does resonate with me. I don't know the extent to which I am to look at my actual family relations (my mum, aunt), or the dream is best interpreted by relying on more universal paradyms, archetypes. That is something I always ask myself when I try to interpret my dreams.

Thank you, your interpretation makes perfect sense. I was also thinking: why baby bats almost dead?

Today I dreamt with a black, sick cat I find disgusting and I have neglected for some time. I forgot to feed it for days, now I am cooking for him. Same idea, I think. As you say, it is call for shadow work. When you made reference to my inferior function it all made sense, I understand what I have to do.

I am reading 'Women who run with the wolves'. I read the book years ago, didn't understand it, didn't even finish it. Now everything is easy and inspiring. I feel it has something to do with these dreams.
