Saved from drowning

Analysis of the week on dream submitted by Anonymous of Melbourne, Australia.

Dream: I saw clones of a woman wearing clothing from different periods in history.  Each one stood separately around a lake. I strained to see them clearly.  My focus was drawn to a woman in the water who was drowning. Suddenly, transparent spirits appeared near mermaids. They raised the woman to the calm surface of water and prevented her from drowning. She didn't initially see them and tried again. They saved her. She surfaced with bluer eyes than before. She exited the water herself.

Predominant Emotions: Overwhelmed, reluctant, fear, hope, increasing clarity.

Interpretation: You acknowledge different perspectives exist to a situation and may attempt to be in many geographic or emotional places at once. Water is like a mirror that reflects your true emotions. Feeling overwhelmed or over-zealous are not your only choices. You have the power to save yourself from any additional stife. To realize spiritual support systems can be like life preservers means you are aware of ways to revitalize yourself.  You also realize that you're never truly alone.  Perhaps you would benefit from being more open and expressive about certain feelings?

Clones as dream symbols invite you to reflect on feelings about external domination or sources of control. Clothing reflects how you are perceived and how you also perceive yourself. You may feel "outdated" or even, "before your time." Its useful to take note of your vibes about clothing. Were they positive or negative? Did you feel confined or awkward? At ease and accepting? Each is a sign that invites you to deal with an issue. This dream also echos possible past lives and belief in reincarnation. Regression may reveal more. You recognize strong connections to events past and may find it challenging to sever ties. Take time to explore nagging guilt or grudges.

Mermaids that surface represent why you have been mysterious or secretive. Eyes draw attention to what and how you choose to observe. Notice what sorts of thoughts are "surfacing." Your unconscious may be telling you to look deeper inside yourself to find the answers that will enable you to put things "into a better light."
