Llama

This is simply another animal unless you live in South America, so will have the basic associations of less restrained or socialised impulses, emotions and sexuality. But its special associations might be that in its native country it is a beast of burden. It lives at high altitudes, so might represent hardiness or rarefied life. Also it looks so mild and gentle, but in fact can be quite aggressive. So it might be something that looks like a sheep but has more aggression. See horse.

Useful questions are:

Am I riding the llama – if so what does this say about my relationship with my body?

What is my relationship with the llama and how does this reflect on the way I relate to the natural urges in me?

Am I going places in my life I haven’t attempted before?

Lobster

Sexuality when it appears aggressive and protective; being protective or defended. .

Lobsters are a favourite food for those who can afford them, and if you are dreaming about them it may reflect you appetite for a night out or new acquaintances,

 Example: I had a dream where I was in a room with a big window with people I cannot recall. We felt something, and I said, “Did you feel that?” then we hear noises and someone said it was the crabs or lobsters. I look around and they were everywhere! They were making human noises. A light turned off for a moment, and then when the light turned back on they had passed us. I could still hear the noise they were making. Someone pointed out they were migrating. This was not a nightmare, but it was a very strange dream that left me with strange feelings.

This one may be about a slight infection at the time of the dream. I suggest this because the crabs or lobsters could be representing an infection leaving you. But something is leaving you, and another possibility is that you had let go of hard emotions, the sort where you have shut others out of our life. Maybe even protecting yourself in some way.

 

Useful Questions and Hints:

What feelings or associations do I have with lobsters?

Do they frighten me?

Do you wish for the extravagant life?

Lock Locked Locking

A problem, often of a logical nature, that can be unlocked, if you have the key. Also the female sex organs. The lock or locking can depict emotions or physical tensions we use to keep others from ‘getting at us’, or to prevent our own urges or fears from being experienced or expressed; desire to keep something safe or protected – such as ones honour or emotions; feeling trapped; vagina; sexual tension. See: Key.

The emotions or physical tensions we use to keep others from ‘getting at us’, or to prevent our own urges or fears from being experienced or expressed; desire to keep something safe or protected – such as ones honour or emotions; feeling trapped by ones own emotional responses; vagina experiencing sexual tension. Occasionally it can be a problem which needs a specific solution – the key; our ability to choose – whether to let someone into intimate relationship.

A key may lie in being able to express ourselves beyond the often iron wall of social normality. These are some of the spectrum of inner qualities you are healthily capable of as a whole human being. Sometimes people say ‘I have never expressed myself like this before; I wonder if I am bizarre’. The answer is that only whole human beings are capable of a wide range of expression which they can choose to end at any moment. It is the unhealthy person who is locked into compulsive and limited patterns of behaviour. Liberation is a sign of health.

Example: I was in a large house – probably the kitchen. I discovered a lock, bright and sparkling, that had its keyhole covered up. On it were drawn pictures of a young woman. I felt it was a part of the puzzle regarding the big house, and belonged to a room that was now so locked, and even the keyhole covered, that it had been forgotten and lost. Finding the lock was rediscovering the mysteries of the house. The room and lock associated with love for the young woman depicted on the lock – a very sentimental love. I felt very emotional just looking at the pictures.

The dreamer, on exploring his dream realised he was a latent homosexual who kept his female self locked up.

The next example so from a man exploring his feelings of being old, incapable, without creativeness and also without a female partner. His statement is important because it deal with a huge conflict that is not only his but is one that society itself has never dealt with.

Example: The sense of being lost, of hopelessness and of not going anywhere got so strong that I could see no way out of it. It was like a real environment surrounding me, a real perception of what was happening in my life, rather than a FEELING of what was happening. It was so real that I started to feel that maybe ‘this is it’. Maybe this is real and therefore I have to adjust to it, to accept it as the reality of old age and my life. This must be what old age is about and therefore it is escapism not to meet it and accept it. No wonder I wanted to die. In the end, as one ages, one has to take second best. If this is real, and at this point I was feeling it was, then there is no creative way out of the situation. I had missed the boat in career, in my teenage years, in my adult life because I had spent years trying to climb out of the pit of depression and psychological distress.

I know I am capable of creative resolution of any problem, of any life situation. I know we are all capable of creative resolution – if we are daring enough to feel, to explore, to sense, to be capable of change and adaptation. So why have I been in this situation for years now? Why am I stuck in this place? Having asked this question I had an insight that I had got into a negative feedback loop. Because I had got stuck in this place, then I feared I was stuck in this place, which produced the certainty I was stuck, which produced the inability to move out. We feed back to ourselves images of failure and feelings of unattractiveness, and all the other negative feelings we all meet during the week. Instead of looking at them and seeing them as passing feelings, we take them as impressions of reality and drown in them. We accept them as true and start to live them. When that happens we see conformation for the negatives and so it goes on.

I tried to find the way out of the loop. The only way out I could find was the realisation that the loop has no end. There is only one thing to do, stop it playing. Grab it and stop the crazy record. To help with this, to help grab the thing and kill it, we obviously have to realise it is untrue. I can’t remember the connections, but this led me to wonder what was happening in my relationship with Hy, and what part this negativity was playing in our relationship. I remembered the time we spent together, and the last night where I had rejected her reaching out to me. I saw that I didn’t have anything in me to respond to her. I was empty as I have been so often empty of late – empty and defeated – empty and pointless.

This was a very important question, and an important moment in the session. The event and the question sum up a huge mass of my experience and events in my life and in relationship with my wife. Suddenly the whole session opened up and I began to feel I was breaking through the restrictions and negative feelings I had been locked in for so long. This appeared to arise almost fully developed as an insight, as if it was already formed from past experience and realisation, but was being received and acknowledged now. It was that the whole difficulty arose around my sexual relationship with my wife and other women. The insight had many aspects.

It was because I had slowly killed myself to live a non-sexual life with my wife, and I wanted something more than that. Although this was obvious and I had admitted such to myself many years ago, yet it was such a difficult thing for me to accept fully. I could accept it as a fantasy. I could accept it as an occasional temptation from which I would recover. But it was hell to accept it as a fundamental fact of my nature, and as something I wanted to live out. That was so difficult that I had strung myself out in this difficult place for years. I had been creating a sort of self-torture, self-immolation, for years. I had hoped the pain and conflict would resolve in some spiritual way, but it hadn’t. In fact in the past two years it had got worse. But now I couldn’t lie to myself any longer. I wanted a sexual relationship outside of marriage.

I felt that I had locked myself in a prison of denial, and I could not admit to myself that our marriage had failed. I felt myself emerge from the difficulty, and be capable of admitting to myself and others that I wanted, and was ready to move toward, sexual relatedness. This was accompanied by a release throughout my body and feelings. I felt confident and creative. I felt ready to write and put down this dilemma we face as a society. It is a dilemma that creates prostitution. I felt that the issues I am writing about are strong and I have a real place in the world when I define and communicate them.

Log

It can either be old opinions, or old habits of feeling, or it is something that was alive and growing in you at one time and has now become dead wood, fixed opinion. Sometimes it represents what you have inherited from the past, perhaps from your family or forebears. It might even suggest unresponsiveness. See: Wood.

 Logs can appear in many ways in dreams:

Dream Log: See journal

Firewood: See firewood

Hiding behind logs: It may suggest you are feeling you are not one of the crowd and so hide so the ‘crowd’ will pass you by. Or if you are in natural surroundigs are you hiding from an animal? Are you hiding from an enemy, if so see enemy and animal

Huge logs: Represents a huge natural resource. Depending what your interests are it could be for building something, making something like furniture, or even for burning. See wood

Log bridge: Something that you have built out of your own natural resources that give you a link with others, provides a solution to a problem, or allows more ‘traffic’ through your life.

Log cabin: Usually represents a quiet and secluded state of mind and built of ones own thoughts, longings and effort. A natural environment to live in or to raise a child. A place you built with love and spirit. A place to make love in or have a honeymoon in – indicating thoughts and feelings about getting close to someone.

Log in: Represents an attempt to contact or influence or partake of or get something shown in the dream. It could be an introduction to a relationship, and attempt to ‘connect’ with them or communicate with them.

Example: I am currently unemployed and looking for work in my waking life. Last night, I had a dream that I had got off from work and I got my paycheck. My mom took me to the grocery store to use the ATM machine to get some money, while she buys something. I was trying to log in and to get some cash, but the machine never came on. Then, I read on the note on the side of the ATM, and it said that the machine was not working.

Log out: An attempt to not continue with whatever you were logged in to. A goodbye to someone, or an opportunity.

Log jams: This usually indicates something that is holding back your free flowing energy or motivation. It could mean blocked sexual feeling, emotions, ideas or plans

 Example: I have two powerful dreams to solve: in one I meet a giant and his son. He is clearing a log jam in river I abruptly come to at the end of a long drive to find my way home (or to relatives).

Raft: See raft

Ships log: See ship

Weapon: A log can often be used as a weapon, so represents using an old an established way to hurt or even kill something within you, or venting aggressive feelings. See weapon

 Example: We get into a van and drive up a freeway exit the wrong way and cut across wooded area to park next to the original campsite. Ginny has money in her hand. I say, “There isn’t any wood for the fire,” and then I see some split logs and sticks.

Example: I feel a bit odd not knowing exactly what is happening, so I decide to step off the road into a little gully and conceal myself behind a big fallen log to watch this massive migration of people. I don’t seem to belong with these people, although a few glance at me, no one takes any particular notice of me one way or another. A young man comes along, maybe in his late teens, and he sees me and chooses to step off the road as well, and joins me beside the log as an observer. I find that somewhat strange , but he is not threatening in any way. I don’t think we exchanged words, yet somehow we knew that we were not like those others, and we just sat together for awhile watching. the hoards slowly pass by.

Idioms: drop a log; log off; log on; saw logs; sleep like a log

Lorry Truck Van

Like a car, it is your means of getting about in life, i.e. vehicle of expression such as music, drives, longings, ambitions, but the lorry connects more with commercial associations or projects. So it might link with feelings of major change, commercial ventures, of moving house.

Similar to car, but it indicates drives such as ambition, what motivates one – but usually your abilities, confidence and energy in connection with practical work, or getting things done in the outer world. It can be the inner qualities or strengths that support your outer activities. For instance ones personal motivations or activities meeting the influence of big unified groups such as the police or large businesses. But also your efforts to get something done, to get things moving. See: car.

A van can also be connected with work, but sometimes can indicate a family or group.

 Example: ‘I was a passenger in a very large eight wheeled lorry, my husband being the driver. We stopped at a pedestrian crossing in our town and my husband got out of the driving seat and went into the local town hall near a crossing. I waited in the lorry for what in my dream seemed hours. The next thing I remember is that I was then riding a bicycle on the other side of the crossing and cycled away up the road.’ Diann R.

Her husband’s involvement with social and work activities – the lorry and hall – make Diann decide to become more independent rather than wait for her husband to be ‘with her’. 

 Example: Dreamt I was driving to work in my car. Just as I was opposite our house a lorry – bread – hurtled out past a parked car, it didn’t seem to see me, and smashed straight over me. I was left standing by the roadside, the car smashed away from me to about the size of a bike. My right leg was slightly encased in the smashed car. I thought I had lost my leg, but it was not smashed off, only bloody and perhaps broken.

I remained standing by the road and shouted for my wife to call the ambulance. I thought I would have to be in hospital for some time and quite liked the idea, and decided to meditate while there. I seemed to have an inner realisation about the crash. I knew that my karma had led me to death at that moment, but because of the work I had done over the past eight months, this had been escaped.

Using various methods I gradually worked out the dream as follows:  “Going to work is the steady, persevering work on myself – the daily facing of difficulties and patiently pressing on.

The car is, because it keeps going wrong, my sense of failure (when I dreamt this the car was in the garage for repair). It is all the past things that have driven me, or carried me along out of my feeling that I was a failure.

The bread van was a connection with work. It was the great power which had been released by the persistent facing of myself, and which now smashed away the failure drives. This left me standing on my own feet, but outwardly insecure. The injured leg was the causes of the failure drives being revealed – my psychological inability to stand strongly on my own feet – my lack of confidence.

Going to hospital meant that in the healing of these causes or root problems, much more inner peace, or chance to enter deeply into self would arise. I would have died as a person, not being able to progress beyond this point, this problem, if it hadn’t been for the many things learned in giving myself to others at the place I worked. If I had not followed the inner drive to start activities that led me to give of myself, during which I learned to open up the whole inner mess of my life. I might not in this life have gained, developed or being given the necessary qualities and tools to melt and pass beyond the problem. Not going to work is not having to work any longer in that way. It was now my choice.

 Example: Dreamt about being in a large removal van with a woman sat on my lap. I held her breasts with pleasure. Don.

In exploring his dream Don found that holding the woman’s breasts showed how he was holding onto and held by sexual pleasure. Holding the woman made him a passenger, and not directing his life. But when he let go he could be the driver. This led him to realise that he was tied to his sexual need like a dependency – a dependency that directed his life.

Being in the driving seat also means you can see all the instruments on the driving panel. This means being in an observing situation with yourself. You can if you wish, observe all the instruments of your being. You can watch and acknowledge what is happening to you sexually, what is happening with your fantasies, what is going on in your physical body – am I tired, am I relaxed, am I stressed, am I confident? You can observe all this in the driving seat and you can make changes. From the observations you can slightly shift, change, make adjustments, and so keep balance and direct the process of interaction and where you are aiming to go in life. This self observation also means you can more easily observe others and understand their needs.

Where you the driver or passenger?

What was the theme of the dream?

Was there any commercial side to the dream?

Loss or Losing Something or Someone

A lost opportunity; forgetting something which is important. Depending on the dream content might also suggest actual, or feelings about, loss of virginity; loss of health; losing a lover-partner, or whatever the lost thing depicts. If one dreams often about losing things, like handbag, car, children, it could show that the dreamer is deeply uncertain about themselves. In other words they are feeling a loss of identity, wondering where they are going in life, who they are in the present situation, or what value they have. Often such feelings often come about from losing contact with your deep feelings and passions. Without them we may feel we have no rudder, no place to head for.  See: lost; lost husband 

Dreaming about the loss of a child or partner can cause a lot of emotional pain. It helps if you can open to the emotions and feel their depth; for sometimes it feels as if a part of you has been torn out. Withholding the emotion doesn’t get rid of it; a woman in a therapy sessions burst into tears about a child she had lost 17 years previously. A neighbour hearing her cry at the time told her she should not cry and so it took 17 years to release it.

A dream of loss might also indicate being frightened of losing the control they thought they had over their life and the world. Such dreams are often about meeting some massive apparent threat, such a huge wave or creature. The dreams sometimes have great fear in them. Some dreams about losing control are about sexual relationships and how much control you have. See Meeting the Huge – Being in Control

Fear or experience of being left or losing someone? Fear of abandonment can lead to great feelings of jealousy, rage, withdrawal from everyday life and depression. The pain of losing a loved one is frequently a sign that our infant or child self is still wounded or hurt, and needs the healing of being allowed into consciousness and thereby integrated into the adult personality. See Beware of Love; Inner Baby and Child

Dreams about loss can arise through anxiety about losing friendship, or of illness creating a loss. It can also suggest that you feel unloved and unwanted. These hells and heavens we each carry within us in the form of fears such as losing the person we love are sometimes habitual attitudes such as that of feeling our partner is out to trick us; chips on our shoulder such as conflict with the society we live in or the authority figures we confront, and genuine childhood or birth traumas.

Many people have a real fear of losing their identity. People relate to this threat in two major ways. They either fight to keep control, and employ all manner of techniques such as keeping their attention focused outwardly by such things as talking, walking about, drawing, holding their breath or dancing – or they surrender to what is being experienced. To meet the parts of one’s nature that has previously been pushed into unconsciousness, one needs to surrender in some degree. If the person fights the loss of control as the new material from within is emerging, it sometimes feels as if they are disintegrating. Their body may feel as if it is changing or dying, and they are losing themselves. Such struggles arise out of the fear of losing oneself, or at least losing the sense of oneself connected with appearance, work, success, or financial standing – the loss of identity. See  Identity and dreams; Identity and Sex; Stuck in life – unable to move or grow – How do we change?

Death is often felt as a losing. The change that takes place in this experience of an inwardly felt death, may at times feel like losing everything, shedding the past, becoming completely insecure. There is not in the end a loss of anything, only a gaining that requires one to let go of the dominance of what was previously important. From this arises a feeling of wholeness and connection with the world and self in a new way. See Dreaming of Death

 Example: The other night I had a dream that my ex-boyfriend was killed in a car accident. I was mortified and became hysterical. I can only remember little bits of it now, but I do remember seeing him in his car, dead. I think I started crying in my sleep. I have been thinking a lot about him lately, before I had the dream. I’ve missed him so much and this worries me.

The woman in the example had actually parted with her boyfriend. The dream is therefore most likely an expression of her deep feelings about losing him.

 Example: My husband died over a year ago, and I live alone, no pets. Yet I dreamt I opened my front door and there was a cat waiting to be let in. It was my cat, and I knew I hadn’t fed it for ages or looked after it. I felt awful that I had neglected it for so long. The strange thing was that the next day as I walked around the supermarket, I kept wanting to go to the cat-food section to buy food. – Winnie P. – Exeter

In losing her husband Winnie has lost her source of giving and receiving affection and is feeling her need for this.

 Example: Suzanne told me my voice changed as I cried out again and again as I released the pain of losing all my children, my husband, even my parents.  My hands were clawing my legs in an effort to express the misery, and I was screaming that I could not bear to live any longer with such pain.  I cried out to God to take me, for there was nothing left for me to live for.  “Why?  Why did this happen to me?  Why has everything I loved been taken from me?”

Such an awful feeling of loss can be caused by the person having no or little connection with their core self in which there is a feeling of connection even after death. See Touching Your Core Self 

Being lost: This links with feelings of confusion, lack of direction or conflict, of not understanding what is involved in the present situation you are in. The dream environment you are lost in will define what the confusion or conflict connects with. Sometimes this lost feeling arises because there are issues or changes in your life you have not acknowledged or do not want to acknowledge.

Losing something or someone: This probably relates to feelings about a lost opportunity, something that you have forgotten that you need to remember, or the loss of an important personal quality like confidence or virginity.

Losing ones husband-wife: Often dreamt by people in middle age. It shows them fearing-exploring the possible death of their partner. It is not a prediction, only an awareness of a likely situation.

Low Lowly

Something that has escaped notice, or that you have left behind at some time. Or something beneath you, morally unsound, cheap, vulgar, depressed, little awareness or understanding.

Something that is not very apparent, is not much of a hurdle or barrier, or is not of great impact. It may indicate that you have as low view of yourself or your abilities, but we all have fantastic potential, but it has to be worked at to make real.

Sometimes it can represent what Carl Jung wrote in the book Man and His Symbols, “Christians often ask why God does not speak to them, as he is believed to have done in former days. When I hear such questions, it always makes me think of the rabbi who was asked how it could be that God often showed himself to people in the olden days while nowadays nobody ever sees him. The rabbi replied, “Nowadays there is no longer anybody who can bow low enough.”

Low neck line dress: For a man it probably represents a desire to hold the breasts, or at least a temptation to unless he is very neurotic and wishes to harm the beauty. For a woman it is, despite her protestations either her desire to show how desirable she is or else difficult feelings about other women.

Flying low down: Possibly depicts difficult feelings about not being able to ascend higher. Or feelings about your own inability to feel good about yourself. It can also depict slight depression.

Low in life satisfaction: A drive in many people is in some way to actualise themselves, to express themselves in a satisfying way. If we use the analogy of a plant, it is as if they have grown and reached full stature, but for some reason have not flowered and spread seeds. They have not produced fruit. This lack of satisfaction is shown in that such people recorded more negative dreams in their diary.

Low power lines: It depends on how capable you are to deal with the enormous power we all have as a potential. Obviously it could burn out any problems you have, or it could give you a tremendous boost to attain wider awareness.

 Example: We both noticed that the power lines were slung very low to the ground about chest height. I was feeling drawn towards touching them, knowing what would happen. Sure enough once I had hold of the power lines my body started to burn up. My body rose to the height of the house windows and I could hear the yells from my burning body, I thought it must be a hell of a shock for everyone looking on. H. C.

Example: I was down in a low bit of a village, was trying to get to a road high up on a hill where the sun was shining. I was walking through dark, empty houses that were something like a store house, not much light, a musty smell about the place.

 

Idioms:  fly low; keep a low profile; lay low; look high and low; low on the totem pole; low-ball him; low-down; lowlife; the lowdown; ears lowered

 

Useful Questions and Hints:

When have I felt low, and is it reflected in the dream?

Have I ever been able to bow that low to touch the centre?

Has there been a time when I felt connected to the low-life?

Do I consider myself to be of low status?

Luggage

The duties, religious or moral feelings or the emotional environment we have created in our life. It can represent the past we still carry with us, things we can’t let go of in life. Sometimes a baby is felt as something we can no longer lug around with us; or our feelings about being a parent.

The habits or attitude, duties, or the emotional environment we have created in our life. It can represent the past we still carry with us; things we can’t let go of in life.  See: bag; knapsack

What we “have in hand” in ones life, and something you are carrying with you. Or it could connect with a holiday or getting away from work or home; freedom or the ability to move.

The womb or vagina. What one carries inside oneself, such as longings, attitudes, fears. How we see ourselves socially – the luggage might be a sign of status, how we rate oneself; also a symbol of independence or going somewhere. Sometimes what we are hiding from others, or what others cannot see; a secret and perhaps dangerous thing, but certainly often unknown.

The dream luggage might contain the personal skills or tools one has, or is carrying with you, such as a laptop, mobile/cell phone. Another possibility is the association with protective attitudes, as when one might carry something precious in a bag – such as a baby, small animal or objects; secrets or what is hidden, so unpacking it may bring revelations or the unexpected, so ones hopes or dreams.

Example: ‘In last nights dream the baby I dream about incessantly had been locked in a suitcase but was quite unscathed when taken out, except that it was very dirty, but still not crying. I do not have any memories in connection with these babies and the only feelings I have are those of remorse that I have neglected the baby. I have had four children of my own, none of whom were ever neglected in this way.’ Mrs C.

Mrs C. uses the suitcase in at least two ways. One is her womb, or reproductive ability. Although she has had four children, this does not stop her unconsciously desiring more. The second is what ‘luggage’ – emotional feelings, urges, thoughts – she carries.

 Example: I am in the airport waiting for my luggage. And I are smuggling in a bunch of junk from the States. I am worried that I will be recognized, as it seems I have done this many times before. One of the things I have in my luggage is the manuscript of one of the books I am working on. I plan on telling them that I was doing research on this book in the States if I am stopped, questioned, etc. I spend a lot of time anxiously waiting in the airport.

Example: A female lover of mine is trying to get rid of my leather handcrafted luggage which costs thousands of dollars. The luggage was from my first marriage. It makes me so angry that I slap her. She is getting rid of a lot of old clothes, particularly socks with holes in them which I carefully go thru too, but agree to throw away.

The dreamer’s anger is because he still has feelings about his first wife, so feels a conflict.

Dragging heavy luggage: Problems we have that have not be dealt with and feel as if they are holding us back.

Finding lost luggage: A difficult feeling or loss is now overcome. Remembering memories and past events.

Getting rid of or sorting and throwing away luggage: Discarding or sorting through habits, memories or attitudes that you can see are no longer suitable to carry around.

Packing your bags: It may represent a desire to – or a need to – get out of some present situation or fear of having to do so. Perhaps your unconscious is hinting that it is time you ‘pack your bags’.

 

Useful Questions and Hints:

Does what you are doing with the luggage give any idea about its meaning?

Did you know where you were heading with your luggage?

Are there things in the luggage that connect with the past or another person?
