YOGA / YOGI

Spiritual Meaning:
The word ‘yoga’comes from Sanskrit language and means union or merger. The practice is in itself a spiritual discipline and in dreams symbolizes that which is needed to achieve union with the Divine. You are learning to control your mind and body, finding the balance and integration of the parts of yourself, and thus, harmony with the universe.

Psychological / Emotional Perspective:
The practice of many of the different forms of yoga actually opens many pathways to perception and can enhance our dreams, allowing us access to universal truths. To be dreaming of doing yoga suggests a need for a deeper understanding of our own impulses. You’re focusing on calmness and being centered. You need to feel the subtleties of your own emotions and how they affect your body.

Everyday Material Aspects:
Yoga can play an important role in maintaining a balance between work and healthy mind. Because yoga is a physical discipline, a philosophy of mind/body connection and a spiritual way of life, any or all of these significances can become apparent in dreams. A yogi (spiritual practitioner) in dreams is a representation of a wise person or teacher and alerts us to the need in us to find such a person.
You are focusing on developing selfdiscipline and physical precision in your performance, either in a physical practice, like athletics, or in your work. A particularly convoluted or difficult posture means you feel you must play an unnatural and uncomfortable role in waking life.
