In this episode we will look at how mothers can be symbolized in dreams and what those dreams are telling us about our lives. From dreams of spiders to dead cats, wounded kittens to mothers in cars, I’ll show you how to make sense of the language of dreams. 32:59 no Dreams from this episode: * A black widow spider and her babies in the window * Digging up a black cat’s grave to find his eyes are changed and he won’t enter the house * A dusty black kitten with a big wound * Mom is moving into her mother’s house and it feels too small to me * My mother in the backseat of my car with words of appreciation Themes from this episode: * Spiders can symbolize the negative feminine or the devouring mother, negative female energy. They can also be symbols of weaving, as in weaving your own life, or symbols of the Self. Cats can symbolize the feminine or the body, so if you dream of cats, examine those parts of your life and your personality right now. Wounded cats can mean wounding of the feminine or of the actual physical body. When the cat doesn’t seem to notice or feel the wound, that likely means the wound has been repressed in your life. Dreaming of childhood places or of older family members such as grandmothers often means that the dream is speaking about the past or about an issue that originated in childhood.
