influence of the social norm as it acts on your decisions and

JEWELLERY
Usually love given or received. The desire to be loved or noticed.
Relations with others. Particularly memories or feelings connected
with the giver, or the circumstances of getting the jewellery.
Sometimes qualities you can develop, or have achieved.
If the jewellery has a particular history, such as a family
heirloom, then it represents what you feel about, or what you have
gained, from your family tradition,
Because jewels connect with what you value, they can depict your
sexuality. So losing jewels might mean loss of virginity, or loss of
good feelings about what you are doing sexually. i.e. you have lost
something of value.
JEWELS In
general, a jewel is the emblem of eternity, our innermost self.
However each jewel has slightly different significance.
Diamond: This is the hardest known material. It
lasts forever, so the advertisements tell us. It represents the
eternity of spirit, the gem or jewel at the centre of being. Spiritual
consciousness. It can also represent human greed, hardness, cold as
ice, anything for power. But is not often used as such in dreams.
Ruby: The feelings, sympathies, love,
arising from the spirit, rather than material values. The ability to
reach out and contact others.
Emerald: The growth principle, growth of
consciousness, growth of spiritual awareness, harmony with life.
Pearl: Value, beauty, from the depths of
our being. The fact that a pearl arises from irritation makes it the
symbol of that beauty or inner wholeness that has arisen from the
trials of life.
Sapphire: Religious feelings, devotion.
quieting of material consciousness, peace of mind, protection from
evil.
Opal: The inner world of your dreams,
fantasies, psychic impressions. Protection against anger.
Purification.
Amethyst: Bringer of dreams and visions.
Protection against being carried away by spiritual elation or inner
influences. Healing.
Lapis Lazuli: Sensitivity to inner impressions.
Vitality.
JOCKEY Ability
to direct energy and instincts. The drive to win at what you are
attempting. So being a jockey might link with success or failure. See:
Horse.
JOKER
Joker in cards represents the irrational inner self, that can take on
any quality, and in itself is neither good nor bad, wise nor foolish,
high nor low. See: Clown.
JOURNEY
In general the dream journey is a comment on what is happening in
your life, and how you feel about it. It may also relate to
undertakings you embark on; new experiences or ways of life you are
entering. You can go on the journey of life, a spiritual journey, the
journey into marriage, parenthood, etc. The journey cannot be
undertaken unless you are willing to travel, to move from one
experience, one attitude or way of life to another. So sometimes you
meet hesitations or things to do before you can go.
A journey at sea cuts us off from our usual activities. It puts us
in closer and inescapable contact with fellow travellers. It also
offers the possibility of missing the boat, something that may be
irreversible. This all points to how we are always in the midst of
enormous natural forces, times and tides of activity. Your sea dreams
will indicate your relationship with this. |
