Tamsyn – What have you been up to letting all these dinosaurs loose?
It isn’t at all silly. Perhaps you have been digging into yourself to let them loose. If not that, then you are meeting a very primal level of anxiety. But remember the images of the dinosaur are an aspect of yourself, as is the boss.
I will try to explain. When you were conceived you were at the very beginning of life forms. In fact we have to go to the very primal to reproduce. That may not mean much to most people, but in the dream world it means an enormous amount. Because from there we go through the whole process of evolution as we are in our mother’s womb. Again, most people say, “So what. I don’t remember!” But of course they are wrong – we do and such memories are seen in our dreams.
So when you learned language you forgot all the past. A new program was running that aided you to have the waking, self conscious awareness you have today. And that awareness is often at odds with what are the foundations of consciousness your present self is built upon. That is what is happening in the dream.
Most people today are at odds with and frightened of the primitive level of themselves. They know it as fear, anxiety, anger, aggression and so on. And because they have not been helped to grow from their real base self into an integrated human being, they have all these fears and tricky feelings.
It is interesting that you have put some of it onto the image of your boss. Of course you are a multilevel being, even though you think you are Tamsyn, you are a very ancient being. So you can call on an older and more powerful self occasionally. If you recognise that you will become a lot less fearful. Spread your wings and fly.
