The Stuff of Dreams: 10: Anima Figures—Important Women in Dreams

Dreams from this episode:

Entering a house in a wealthy neighborhood to find a community of supportive women
Leaving an ex in a treehouse to connect with a girl writing an essay in the grass
A progression of 6 anima dreams from the same dreamer over time
Casting spells with an older woman, then breaking into a mansion with a man to find women chained in the basement**

Themes from this episode:

Anima figures are generally female figures in dreams who help us to explore more unconscious material and lead us more deeply into ourselves toward inner work and soul.
Showering in a dream can symbolize becoming clean, purification, or connecting with the unconscious.
Treehouses in dreams can mean we are too “up in our heads,” not grounded enough, or that we are trying to build structures in an unnatural place.
The progression of anima figures in dreams over time can show what kind of progress we are making with our inner work. For example, in the series of 6 dreams, this dreamer’s anima figures go from girls whose faces he can’t see, to females who are unkind or rejecting, to supportive friends to cry on, to women he is able to have a more equal connection with.
