In dream interpretations, the term 'aspect' is used a lot but what does it mean?
Most often, this term is used when there are people in the dream. So your interpretation might say something like, “This person in your dream represents an aspect of yourself.” Used in this way, an aspect describes a facet of your own personality or a set of traits often relative to the events, place, or feeling about the dream. It’s that part of yourself that deals with that area or concept in your life.
The people our subconscious picks to represent that part of ourselves are people we would describe as having the same set of traits. It’s kind of a weighty concept but basically the theory is that we can only recognize personality traits in others that we have ourselves. Therefore, our subconscious uses separate individuals to represent qualities in us we need to consider in the context of the dream.
Here’s an example: Say I dream that I’m having dinner with a friend that I would describe as being funny, lighthearted, and never takes anything seriously. That friend will represent that part of yourself having to do with your sense of humor and how you approach whatever situation the rest of the dream describes. The layers of significance can be, and often are, even more layered and complex depending on other factors but that’s the basic gist.
Sweet dreams!
