Womb

SPIRITUAL MEANING:

The body is a physical manifestation of an inner spirituality, so in theory should be almost perfect. Sometimes, rather than looking to heal the body, it is easier to heal the spirit, and dreams of the body can highlight the areas in which we need to make changes.

PSYCHOLOGICAL / EMOTIONAL PERSPECTIVE:

Most experience can be translated into bodily feeling - tension or relaxation perhaps - and, therefore, becomes a rich source of symbolism in dreams. When emotions cannot be faced in ordinary everyday life, they very often become distorted dream symbols.

EVERYDAY MATERIAL ASPECTS:

The body represents the individual and is his outward physical projection of all that he is. In dreams, the body often represents the Ego. Since being 'physical'is the baby's first experience of itself, the body forms the prime source of information.

WOMB - the womb represents a return to the beginning. We all have need of basic security and shelter, and perhaps to do away with responsibility. Dreams of the womb can signify our need to satisfy those requirements. On a slightly more esoteric level the womb represents our connection with the Great Mother or Mother Earth. Dreams of returning to the womb suggest our need to reconnect with the passive, more yielding side of our nature. We may need a period of self-healing and recuperation.
