Projector

The realisation of unconscious content if projected onto a screen. This can also refer to illusions arising from within if it in any way connects with trickery.

A film projector in your dream is an important image. It projects images that give information or a story, so it is important to see of you can see what the information or story is about. But a projector is not in itself the story or information, but something that projects, so what is the projector in you. See if you can find out by using Being the Person or Thing

Every image and person in your dreams is an expression of your own life process. As such it is alive and intelligent and is something sent to help you. A dream is like a projection from a movie projector, except that you are the projector. Whenever we dream its images are not like real life, because a dream is nothing like outer life where things could hurt you, but is an image like on a cinema screen that even if a gun is pointed at you and fired it can do no damage – except if you run in fear. So all the things that scare you are simply your own fears projected onto the screen of your sleeping mind.

Everything you see as outside you is coming from you, your emotions, your fears, your beliefs, your joys and explorations and are all you, clothed in the dream images and drama. So when you dream of someone you should not feel you are dreaming about that actual person. As with most dreams, the person in the dream is not the person themselves, but is a collection of memories, associations and feeling about him or her.

Useful questions or hints:

Are you aware of any intense likes, love or dislike that might suggest projection?

Have you every explored a dream image and realised it is a projection from yourself?

Do you realise that we often use images because we are scared of seeing what they really represent?
