VACATION See: Holiday.

VACCINATION This might be illustrating what feelings or thoughts you use, or can use, to deal with negative influences in your life. See: Syringe.

VAGINA Represents not only sexual feelings and desires, but is a symbol of complete womanhood and femininity. The vagina and womb, in their shape represent the human qualities of sympathy, receptivity, loving, acceptance, desire to absorb. The womb is a symbol of fertility. the willing sacrifice of personal resources, life, energies and ideas, so that the new life, new love, new spiritual impulse can take form. The new idea or creation uses the old parts of yourself, but reshapes them, adding new features or qualities. The vagina and womb shape the growth of the new impulse or form.

The femaleness or maleness must not be confused with personality. The conscious personality is a very flexible and shapeshifting thing. It can be male or female in quality no matter what the body gender. But in dreams, the female is the receptive, creative aspect of this shapeshifting personality.

Therefore the female in her relationship with maleness, is not generally so active in the outer world, but through her sympathy, love, receptiveness and giving of self, shapes the male actions and creative forces, as depicted by the womb shaping the creative forces of the sperm. On the other hand, a man is not generally so active in his inner, intuitive life, and his outer activity penetrates the woman’s inner life, stimulating and directing her intuition and soul. Taken as symbols of the two parts of one person’s nature, the penis represents the outer self, creative and active, intellect and reasoning; ability to succeed in business and social activity in its constructive elements. The vagina symbolises emotions, inner feelings, irrational self, intuition, sympathetic and inner contact with people, the ability to produce new ideas, new energies. new concepts. The two working together fulfil and complement each other, outer activity expresses, tests, and brings to realisation the intuition.

VALLEY A descent into material values, gloominess, outer activity, practical issues, and sometimes into problems and fears. Can also represent the female vagina. Cwm in Welsh is a valley between the hills, but also refers to the vagina.

VAMPIRE Some idea or fear that is draining energy, ambition, resolution. A negative relationship that you are not dealing with well, and so feel is draining your energy or sense of well-being. Difficult feelings about sex or sexual relationship. Feelings about not being independent, but psychologically linked with someone like a parent.

VASE See: Cup.

VAULT May represent memory or influences from your past. Also, something you have locked away or buried, perhaps even valuable or deeply important things. If the vault is connected with burial, then it depicts feelings you have about death or the dead.

VD Feeling of uncleanness in connection with sex.

VEGETABLE Your basic down to earth needs. It might also be a dream suggesting your dietary needs. See: Food.

VEGETARIAN Restraint from passion, aggressiveness and destruction. The cleansing of self of actions and desires arising from sexual, aggressive urges, and thus a greater realisation of the spirit. It does not, as a symbol, represent the repression of aggressiveness and sexuality, but suggests a search for urges arising from something other than instinctive drives..

VENEER The outward self, something shallow, or that hides desires, longings, reactions, which are quite different, and of a rougher, or coarser quality.

VERMIN The fears or anxieties you have; your sense of horror or repulsion about something, or some aspect of society or human behaviour. Irritations or thoughts that are 'bugging' you. Frightening or disturbing instincts or urges.

VERTIGOAnxieties, loss of confidence. It might also suggest you are on the verge of what you usually allow yourself to experience - the shallows of the mind. So you sense a vastness that makes you feel uncomfortable or anxious. See: Acrophobia

VET The healing energies capable of helping the instinctive and unconscious self to become acceptable and functioning in conscious life.

VICTIM/VICTIMISED This might be saying that you have a passive relationship with others, not acknowledging or expressing your own wants or needs. It might also be that you are victimising someone else who is not strong enough to stand against your desires or will.

Being the victim might also show that you are using old past hurts to remain passive and bemoan your fate. This is a form of blaming that puts all responsibility onto others.

VILLAGE This may represent your childhood, or relaxed feelings and sociability. If it is a place you grew up in, or lived in, then it relates to the feelings and period of your life involved. See: Town.

VINE The connections you have with your family and ancestors; your growth or fruitfulness. It can also depict what is growing in you that relates to more than everyday life. In other words something that relates you to the universal processes and sentience of the universe.

VIOLET Usually refers to feelings about things that bring a feeling of connection with all life, a union with a universal awareness. See: Colours.

VIOLIN Your heartfelt feelings and longings. Pathos or subtle feelings. See: Music.

VIRGIN Receptiveness, an open mind not full of preconceptions. This state of mind can surrender to the transcendent, and thus conceive a holy child, or higher consciousness. In other words you mentally leap beyond the limitations of already formed conceptions toward the new and unlimited. See mary-virgin for fuller explanation.

In a woman's dream: Oneself if still a virgin; a daughter; that one has had sex doesn't mean that ones girlhood feelings actually were met and mated with. These might very well reappear in a new relationship or in a phase of ones marriage.

In a man's dream: Ones feeling self which is receptive; ones soul or psyche; the aspect of oneself which can connect with expanded awareness because it can rid itself of preconceptions. If there are sexaul feelings in the dream there is still a chance this is about a longing to experience the open receptive state described above, and an attempt to grow beyond the traps of desire and material life you might exist in.

VIRUS Fears or feelings that are detrimental to your well-being. A hidden attack, perhaps verbally by someone you know, but you have not been aware of how deeply the influence went. It may also show feelings of uncleanness about something you have done or are involved in. It might also refer to actual bodily infection.

VIVISECTION An attack on the deeply feeling and intelligent unconscious processes of your being. The animal drives or responses in you, such as flight and fight, the urge to parent and care, are being torn apart or hurt in some way, perhaps by an over rational attitude or views.

VOID The void or abyss in a dream gains its meaning largely from how you respond to it. It suggests a situation you might fall into or be lost in, but it is also space, infinity, a situation or state of mind not limited by form or smallness. Sometimes the abyss is the same as a void, suggesting the formless spirit of life lying within and at the core of all physical formed life. Therefore it might link with the transcendental or the spiritual life of death.

If feared: Fear of losing control; loss of identity; fear of failure; meeting with those dark fears or worries we hide in our depths; lack of confidence; death in some form; the unconscious. Having these fears in no way suggests the external or internal world warrants anxiety. But lack of confidence will obviously hamper performance in dealing with the difficulties represented by the abyss.

Without fear: Being able to take risks, not be afraid of illness and death in a paralysing way. It suggests going beyond the boundaries of one's own limitations, concepts, present experience. It represents the enormous personal potential lying beyond already formed conceptions and experience. It is the aspect of human consciousness existing beyond the opposites such as good and bad, right and wrong. Access to this gives tremendous liberation to the dreamer, freeing them from restricting rigid concepts or habits of thinking, responding and relating. See: death; falling; pit; void; flux dream under void.

Useful questions are:

Am I frightened of the abyss? If so what is my fear about?

What does the abyss offer me if I enter into it?

What holds me back from it?

What have I found in meeting it?

VOLCANO See: Eruption.

VOYAGE See: Travel; Boat.

VOMIT See: Sick.

VULTURE Feelings to do with waiting for someone to die, or a situation of living on the unfortunate experiences of others.
