Part of my dream last night was I was crawling down from a tall stone statue of a woman that had collapsed and folded on itself. Breasts folded over thighs a face sticking out of the pile big black lips. When I got to the bottom and the ground I said "I bit it."
For some reason I associate biting with the ouroborus, biting the tail of my evil that is chasing me. Or it might be biting my tongue, which I did with someone during the day of the dream.
I think it has to do with the following. In order to survive my family of origin, when I felt threatened I said nothing and did nothing. I was terrified, frozen, paralyzed. There were times of course when I said and did something and was punished for it. I often revert back to this when I feel afraid. Sometimes I say nothing and do nothing on purpose to piss people off. Sometimes I am terrified of what I will say or do and how others might react. I feel sort of possessed by the negative anima and animus. Stuck.
