Freudian Perspective
View Context →May symbolize a prized, hidden object of desire, potentially with phallic connotations due to its hardness and value. Could represent repressed longing for something unattainably pure or perfect.
Gestalt Perspective
View Context →You are the jadeite. Ask: What part of you feels rare, precious, and polished by experience? Its qualities (cool, smooth, green) reflect projected aspects of the dreamer's self-concept.
Cognitive Perspective
View Context →The brain processes 'jadeite' as a schema for 'preciousness' or 'authenticity.' The dream may be consolidating memories related to value, heritage, or natural beauty, or problem-solving around integrity.
Evolutionary Perspective
