Petrified hedgehog

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

Dream-   Various animals moved quickly around a room. Most of them avoided the fireplace. A black shade was pulled down in front of that opening, almost to the floor. Yet, a curious hedgehog bent over to look underneath the shade. He saw a light and became petrified stone. Other animals avoided him. His transparent soul floated through the stone but animals couldn't see this. Then, people entered a nearby room. Opaque, spider web-like film covered their bodies. They emerged transparent with deep, blue eyes that stared ahead. They no longer sense as before.

Predominant Emotions- fear, conformity, enlightenment.

Interpretation- Animals draw attention to particular physical or behavioral traits, basic desires, and sexuality. You have choices to stick with the crowd or go out on a limb. Not everyone fears getting burned by taking risks.   You no longer shade yourself from meaningful opportunities.  Non-conformity is crucial to raising your self-awareness. The petrified stone may be a metaphor for your initial fear of the unknown. Although others aim to reject and repress things into their subconscious, you have moved beyond that to deepen your self-awareness. You no longer fear losing your identity. Rather, unbeknownst to people in your entourage, your destiny has suddenly revealed itself. The question is, are you ready for what's next?

To detect obscured vision, or problems with your eyes, means obstacles in your path. You may be highlighting the need to re-evaluate your own criticism, judgement and feel guilty about drawing attention to faults in others. Remember, what you perceive is a choice, based on what you’re ready to understand.  Increasing clarity reflects an enlightenment and empowerment process. Tackle perceived reasons for suffering or sympathy so you can see clearer.
