Some dreams help explain our current state of mind and how we are reacting to our situation:
In the dream, I knew I had lost the bottom half of my left leg, right below the knee. This was very recent, so that I hadn’t received any physical therapy or been fitted with an artificial leg. I lay down in bed to sleep and at some point awoke in the night. I was aware of the sheets and blankets touching my body and could very clearly feel them against the missing part of my leg and foot. I stretched and felt my missing leg and foot stretch. It felt completely real, as if it hadn’t been cut off. But I knew in my mind that it had. I enjoyed the feel of it and thought it funny that it felt like it was actually there in every way.
SIGNIFICANT SYMBOLS:
Leg-that which is one’s foundation, support, principles, or morals.
Legless-to be without principles, a backbone, sense of direction, a job, self-respect.
Left-receptive, open-minded, liberal.
Sleep-associated with being unconscious to the external environment. The internal feminine, waiting to be awakened.
Bed-sexual activity, intimacy, and passion. Sleep, rest, the unconsciousness.
This dream begins by letting me know I have lost some of my principles/foundation (legless) that were open-minded or liberal (left). I haven’t lost all of that belief system as I still have part of the leg. I know this has happened but in the dream I feel fine, and so the loss apparently isn’t devastating. I am aware that I still need medical rehabilitation (spiritual intervention) to help me adjust to my new state of being. I have been unconscious to (sleeping/bed) as to how this feels in my external environment or effects my external environment, but become aware enough (waking up) to realize that I don’t feel any different. I still feel exactly the same. I find this amusing.
This dream indicates I have gone through a fundamental change in thinking that will effect my whole way of living, but I have as yet to feel the effect consciously. I have “lost” some of my liberal, open-minded thinking but have not replaced it as yet. I realize I don’t feel any different and haven’t really noticed how losing this particular thinking will effect my life. This helps me to be more aware consciously, as situations arise, that my thinking has changed and my reactions and decisions could end up being different than what I am used to.
