RE: Common Dream Symbols: Falling, Finding an Unused Room, Being Late, [Part 3]
Very cool! I used to have a dream when I was a wee little boy where my dad would be throwing me high up in the air and catching me. This dream would re-occur all the time and I remember feeling the thrill of falling. It's really interesting to me that this could represent some aspect of my birth onto earth. I could definitely see that as a potential meaning.
Very cool stuff here @aprilangel. Thanks for sharing :)
Sometimes a happy dream like that will occur when we don't get that sort of attention in reality. It's called a "healing dream" because it is serving to heal the part of ourselves that wants or needs that attention. Not saying that this was your situation (could have been) but the higher up we are in a dream the more perspective we have to be objective as well. Which is why people who can fly in a dream often wake up feeling good. They gained a bit of objectivity by symbolically having their problems appear smaller/further away.
That's a super interesting perspective @aprilangel. I think you're very on point. My mom raised me primarily and I think my youthful self always craved to get a bit more from my father. Thankfully I got that later in life but it definitely was a struggle growing up.
Love what you're doing here :)
