Dream Interpretation / Re: Wasp

Thank-you Tony.
I am trying to take ownership of the energies in my life - but I battle against the idea that I AM always all these energies. I feel that sometimes people do represent themselves - esp if it's a processing at work, eg gaining greater awareness of family dynamics. Though I will also have absorbed those relationships into my inner world and inner self-understanding.
Waking world: I think we are separate beings with individual agency in duality. And as someone who has been very 'enmeshed' with others. I need to first find solid footing in being an individual. It can get very confusing until you know how to carefully be aware of your role in dynamics - you may be attracting aggression - but you are not that energy. You are the energy of 'receiving aggression' . I have been deeply confused by this in the past, feeling I could not set boundaries on poor behaviour - because after all their energy was mine!
Dream world: I regularly forget to apply the concept of myself being all the energies & it is very helpful when I am guided back to this way of approaching the dream - I feel it is accurate in the dream world. And people appear because of your need to integrate something they represent to you.
Reflecting now, I see the swinging between opposites that you pointed out is very interesting.
In the dream I don't trust the energy I am sensing, my 'do-good' training over-rides my instincts...an intense need to always be the good helpful person. In waking life a recurrent experience for me has been that of exposing myself to dangerous characters and not being able to follow gut instinct.
So yes a belief is causing this pattern - but the belief was formed over years and years of repeated experience, so it has quite a gravitational force and will not be undone without contextual beliefs also changing. Eg I need to believe I am more important than the insect and that my feelings about it may contain valuable information.
So there are two stances possible to take (a) I should not fear anything ever (b) sometimes fear is just useful information
This is my current approach - never dismiss a fear or emotion - thank it for the message it brings. If I were to relive the dream I would say to myself 'trust your fear'
Once I developed my ability to consciously hear and take on board the fear - my next stage would be to find a more empowered expression of myself in the dream. Because on another level I am the dream maker - but I am also my undeveloped unintegrated psychic energies that need what they need.
I am trying very hard to make specific distinctions here - because I spent a long time mired in confusion.
Perhaps these distinctions are really only important to my particular path..? what do you think of this?
