POSITION

Spiritual Meaning:
When a particular position is highlighted in a dream it usually signifies our moral or spiritual standpoint, or our position in life. It can also give an indication of how we are handling situations in our lives. For instance, something in the wrong position means we are going about things in the wrong way.

Psychological / Emotional Perspective:
Status is an important aspect of self-esteem. In dreams we often picture our sense of self by becoming conscious of our position relative to other dream objects. Often in dream interpretation position is not considered. However, much additional information can be gleaned by carefully considering place. We can move away from the mundane, ordinary, everyday world into a more spiritual way of life.

Everyday Material Aspects:
When any direction is indicated or particularly noticeable in a dream, we need to consider the esoteric implications and how these are applicable in our everyday lives. Based on the Chinese method of interpretation and used by those systems of belief that adhere to the natural forces, the points of the compass can be read symbolically.  The North signifies the Unknown, and hence sometimes darkness. It is spirituality within the world.  The East traditionally suggests birth and mystic religions. It also represents becoming ‘conscious’.  The South is representative of earthly passion and sensuality. The West can symbolize death, but more properly the state after death when there is increased spiritual awareness. Traditionally, it can also represent the more logical side of our natures.
