This is part of my series on interpreting dreams. In this series, I am sharing my own approach to finding meaning in dreams, meaning of a spiritual nature. To me, the dreamtime is a powerful place of self-clarification and healing and learning how to find meaning in dreams is part of embracing the gift of the dreamtime. This page deals with the level of dreaming I call personality, or ego-based, dreaming.

Personality Self Dreaming:
What I call ego clean-up dreams are dreams that mostly involve fears, anxieties, worries, unresolved issues, etc. that are present and pressing in my life at the moment.

Ego clean-up dreams are very often tedious, frustrating dreams where I'm trying to get somewhere and can't, trying to do something and can't, etc. They may involve petty theft, such as someone stealing my purse. They can involve trying to go to the bathroom and being unable.

Ego clean-up dreams can also be disturbing, with disturbing imagery because they are the outpicturing of whatever I find disturbing in life at the moment. I see them as a clever way the mind has; a sort of relief valve for life's pressures.

An ego clean-up dream is often a precurser to a Medicine Dream for me. My personality struggles, resists and finally surrenders the ego-based fear or need to control and then a Medicine Dream follows.
