Monster

Most monsters are the graphic expression of the effects of past traumas. Some such traumas may have arisen from things like having your tonsils out when young, being separated from your mother at an early age, being involved in a war. In general the monster depicts your personal fear, dread, terror of death, failure, impotence or weakness in the face of outer circumstances or inner urges. It may at times epitomise attitudes, hates, fears, that have become monstrous, and turned against you.
