“Dear Dream Momma, I dreamt it was a post-apocalyptic world where a group of survivors, including a male version of me, was being led by a mysterious woman. We face a series of obstacles and the group dies one by one, including a male love interest. We traverse empty subway tunnels and I manage to climb a lighthouse as the sole survivor. Suddenly the mystery woman floats before me encased in a beautiful golden aura and says "It was you all along...the one I've been searching for." She then explains that all the survivors were apart of her, and she was using them to find someone, me. I tell her that I love her but I also love the male interest that died. She says that is fine, he's also apart of her, and he appears behind her as a ghostly image. They both take my hand, and the dream ends.
I remember feeling a vague sense of warm happiness when I woke up. But I have no idea what the dream means or what it might symbolize. Any suggestions?”
Dream Momma is so happy to return to her blog for Creative Loafing with this remarkable, journey dream. Why is it remarkable? Because it describes, in a symbolic nature, the individuation phase of psychological development and the relationship between the animus and anima.
