The Dream

"Last night I had a dream that this person was pitching a show idea to Disney (im very rarely myself in dreams so that doesn’t concern me) and I want to pitch a show idea so assume it’s something like that. The dream was These witches are like 12 and every year the year 6s (last year of primary school in Australia) are taken to look at northern lights and then it causes the ocean to create a whirlpool in the air (don’t ask why). When it does those who see it make a wish and if when it comes true they don’t need “training wheels” anymore like a broom to fly for example. This girl, the main character wishes to marry another girl but when the teacher asks she’s too embarrassed to admit so she says she wants to become a famous basketball player. Then she grows up and is still using a broom etc and her parents don’t understand then her childhood best friend says something like “ok im done with watching we’re going to this girl right” and the main girl protested but gets flown out the room. The show cuts to credits or something I assume because then I woke up And would y’all watch this?? Hahaha"

🔮 🔮 What Your Dream Means

This dream indicates a profound internal conflict between your authentic self and the fear of social judgment, suggesting that your deepest wish requires courageous honesty to unlock your full potential and freedom.

🔮 Dream Analysis

Your dream is a powerful narrative about authenticity, fear, and the journey toward self-integration. The central plot—pitching a show to Disney—frames this as a story you are desperate to tell, both to the world and, more importantly, to yourself. The act of creation here is the psyche’s attempt to work through a significant personal theme.

The setting is rich with symbolism. The witches represent a latent, intuitive, or "magical" power within you—a unique talent or aspect of your identity that society might view as "other" or unconventional. That they are 12 years old and in their last year of primary school places this at a critical developmental threshold, a moment of initiation from childhood into adolescence. This likely mirrors a current or past life transition where you felt pressured to conform or leave a part of yourself behind. The Northern Lights are a celestial, awe-inspiring phenomenon, often symbolizing spiritual awakening or the illumination of hidden truths. That witnessing them triggers the ocean’s whirlpool suggests a deep emotional (ocean) upheaval (whirlpool) necessary for accessing this transformative wish-granting magic. The "training wheels" metaphor is exquisite: your dream posits that true mastery and freedom (flying unaided) come only when we claim and live our deepest truth.

The core conflict is the protagonist’s unspoken wish. Her authentic desire—to marry another girl—is swapped for a socially acceptable, achievement-oriented goal (becoming a famous basketball player). This is the dream’s emotional heart. It speaks directly to a fear of vulnerability, of exposing a tender, private truth (be it related to sexuality, a creative passion, a relationship, or a core identity) to an authority figure (the teacher) and, by extension, to your community or family, who "don’t understand" later. The consequence is a life of arrested development, still reliant on external supports (the broom).

The childhood best friend is a crucial figure. They represent an integral, unconditionally accepting part of your own psyche—your intuition or inner ally who has had enough of your self-denial. Their forceful action ("we’re going to this girl right") is your subconscious compelling you toward integration and resolution, even if your conscious, protesting self is afraid. The abrupt cut to credits as you woke up leaves the ending in your hands. Will she face her truth? The dream asks you the same.

Dream visualization - Core Themes

Visualized Core Themes

🔮 🪞 Jungian Perspective

From a Jungian view, this dream is a classic narrative of Individuation—the process of integrating the conscious ego with unconscious elements to become a whole self. The young witch is an archetype of the Self, the potential for wholeness, possessing innate (magical) power. Her unspoken wish represents the Shadow—a repressed aspect of the personality, laden with desire and fear of social condemnation. The best friend acts as a psychopomp, a guide (like Hermes) who leads the soul between realms, here forcing a confrontation between the ego and the shadow.

The teacher and parents symbolize the collective consciousness—societal norms and expectations that enforce conformity. The "training wheels" (broom) represent the Persona, the social mask we use to navigate the world, which becomes a crutch when over-identified with. The dream’s magic system is a metaphor for the psychic energy (libido) released only when shadow contents are brought to light. The whirlpool in the air is a mandala-like symbol of the Self, a union of opposites (water and air, emotion and spirit), indicating the centering and transformative power of this integration journey.

🔮 🎭 Gestalt Perspective

In Gestalt therapy, every element is a disowned part of you. Let's explore:

  • If you were the 12-year-old witch: "I am your nascent, authentic power. I am on the cusp of a major change, full of potential, but terrified of being seen for who I truly am."
  • If you were the unspoken wish to marry the girl: "I am your deepest, most vulnerable truth. I am the love or desire you keep hidden because you fear it will not be accepted. My suppression is what keeps you from flying free."
  • If you were the stated wish to be a basketball star: "I am your deflection. I am the impressive, acceptable goal you show the world to avoid revealing something more personal. I am your armor."
  • If you were the childhood best friend: "I am your impatient, loyal inner self. I am the part of you that knows the truth and is tired of watching you live a half-life. I am the courage to act, even when you protest."
  • If you were the broom/training wheels: "I am your dependency on external validation and safe, conventional methods. I am what you cling to because you are afraid to trust your own innate ability."

🔮 🌍 Cultural Symbolism

  • Witches: In Western tradition, often outcasts with hidden knowledge; in modern feminist and pagan contexts, symbols of feminine power, intuition, and rebellion against patriarchal norms. Cross-culturally, akin to shamans—individuals who mediate between worlds.
  • Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis): In Inuit mythology, they are spirits of the dead playing ball; in Norse lore, reflections from the armor of the Valkyries. Universally, they represent mystical bridges between the earthly and the divine, awe and wonder.
  • Ocean Whirlpool: In many cultures (e.g., Norse maelstrom, Greek Charybdis), a symbol of chaotic, inescapable force. Here, inverted in the air, it becomes a vortex of transformation—combining the emotional depth of the ocean with the intellect/freedom of the air, suggesting an emotional truth rising to conscious awareness.
  • Flight: A near-universal symbol of freedom, transcendence, and spiritual ascent. The need for a "broom" (a tool) versus innate ability speaks to a cross-cultural theme of earned versus innate power, or dependence versus independence.
  • The Unspoken Marriage Wish: While specific to same-sex desire here, the theme resonates with any "forbidden" or stigmatized love across cultures, representing the ultimate risk and reward of social honesty for personal fulfillment.

🌟 💬 What Your Subconscious May Be Telling You

• Your subconscious is highlighting a critical gap between your authentic desires and the persona you present to the world, and this gap is costing you your sense of freedom and mastery. • It seems to be drawing attention to a specific, vulnerable truth you have historically felt too embarrassed or afraid to fully claim, perhaps related to love, identity, or a creative path. • It is emphasizing that a loyal, forceful part of you (your inner ally) is ready to push you toward resolution, even if your conscious mind resists. • It is suggesting that a past transition or initiation (like leaving "primary school") may have involved suppressing a part of yourself that now demands expression.

💭 ❓ Life Connection Prompts

  1. The dream centers on a wish swapped for a more "acceptable" goal. What is one deeply true desire or aspect of your identity that you have recently downplayed, disguised, or kept secret for fear of others' judgment?
  2. The "training wheels" metaphor implies you're using external supports for something you have the innate ability to do. In what area of your life (relationships, career, creativity) are you still relying on "brooms" instead of trusting your own power to "fly"?
  3. The childhood best friend represents an impatient, advocating inner voice. When have you recently felt a strong, almost impulsive internal nudge to confront a truth or make a change that you then talked yourself out of?

✅ Suggested Actions

  1. Conduct a "Wish Audit": Journal for 15 minutes. First, write down the "basketball player" wish—the presentable, achievement-oriented goals you tell people. Then, on a new page, write the "marriage wish"—the raw, vulnerable, deeply personal truths or desires you keep private. Simply acknowledge the difference without judgment.
  2. Embrace the "Best Friend" Energy: This week, pay close attention to moments when you feel a spontaneous urge to be more authentic, even in small ways (e.g., stating a preference, sharing an opinion you usually hide). Once, consciously act on that urge and observe the feeling afterward.
