Chameleon

Changing emotions, instability, lack of stability or sense of duty. Will change values to suit outer events, rather than be true to promises or duty; or adaptability.

Something or someone that is overlooked or seems part of the background.

But a chameleon can represent the means we use to adapt to what others see us as –  I quote from Eric Fromm’s book Escape from Freedom, “A personality offered to you by cultural patterns; and you therefore becomes exactly as all others are and as they expect you to be. The discrepancy between “I” and the world disappears and with it the conscious fear of aloneness and powerlessness. This mechanism can be compared with the protective coloring some animals assume. They look so similar to their surroundings that they are hardly distinguishable from them. The person who gives up his individual self and becomes an automaton, identical with millions of other automatons around him, need not feel alone and anxious any more. But the price he pays, however, is high; it is the loss of his self.”

Of course you can also master this as a shape shifter blending in and yet maintaining your own individuality. Either ones desire to fade into the background, or adaptability. So perhaps like a shape shifter who can be many different things. Or the trained hunter or predator who makes himself of herself blend in to approach the victim. See Avoid Being Victims

Example: ‘My wife and I saw a large lizard on the wall near a banana. It was there to catch the flies. The lizard turned so it was facing away from us – head up the wall. We then were able to see it had large wing like flaps that spread from its head in an inverted V. With amazement we saw on these flaps wonderful pictures, in full colour, of birds. In fleeting thoughts I wondered if the bird ‘paintings’ were to attract birds, or were some form of camouflage. But I felt certain the lizard had ‘painted’ these wonderful pictures with its unconscious art.’ David T.

In the example the banana is both David’s pleasure and sexuality, while the lizard is the creativity emerging from his unconscious through the attention he is giving it – in other words he is looking at the lizard, his instinctive life, through exploring his dreams. See the information about the reptilian brain under brain levels and dreams.

In this next example it can be seen how allowing the influence of the instinctive ‘lizard’ life into awareness is strengthening.

Example: As we were walking something touched my leg or ankle. It was some sort of alien lizard type creature. I realised it had scratched me and thereby put something into my bloodstream. There was slight anxiety about what this would do, but as I stood wondering I could feel some change going on with my hand and wrists. I looked at my right wrist and saw it had become thicker and stronger. It looked really powerful, and I could feel the same sort of change and strength occurring throughout my body. It was like a positive viral attack. As we walked along further the changes deepened. All of us were now changing and metamorphosing, a process we were learning to direct or change in some degree. I remember making my head bullet proof and my body almost armoured with a sort of scaled chitin.

Just after this dream a massive storage heater in my cottage fell on my right foot as I was cleaning it. The pain was awful and a large swelling came up immediately as if the impact had burst a blood vessel or broken bones. It was about two inches across. I thought I had crushed my foot, but was relieved to see I could just about move a couple of toes. The pain was too much to do more. Within an hour and a half all the swelling had gone and the pain was disappearing. By the evening my foot appeared normal apart from small abrasions. This was so amazing I wept to see how my body healed itself so quickly. The next day I went for a long walk with a friend without any pain.

Charity Shop

Usefulness of the useless – the discovery of value in what has been discarded. Searching for our needs or things we want, recycling past experience. Also things such as ideas, skills, attitudes, we have got from other people, or ones own discarded or forgotten experience. See: Shop.

It might also point to searching for your needs or things you want in an unorthodox way or places. Also the recycling of past experience; the giving away or clearing out of things and memories that are no longer part of the mainstream in your life. Your own discarded or forgotten experience.

Things such as ideas, skills, attitudes, you have got from other people.

Example: Then I was caught up in the crowds again, partly standing back watching the whole cavalcade of what was happening. Apparently it was a big civic event connected with raising money for a charity. Some nuns were involved and I knew they had come out of a closed convent to be in the crowd. They had collecting bowls for people to drop money in. As a sort of emphasis some women who were collecting had put many coins in their bras, so as they walked one could hear the chinking and see their breasts/coins bobbing up and down. Some of the nuns were in wheel chairs and looked quite crippled.

Useful Questions and Hints:

What is it I find or am looking for in the shop, and am I looking for that in waking?

Am I buying or selling – searching or giving away?

Chase Chased Chasing

Anything moving toward you in a dream usually signifies that you are becoming more aware of it, feeling it more intensely. So being chased in a dream usually denotes that you are feeling something you fear more intensely and are trying to avoid confronting it. This is not usually a good policy, as you can never get away from yourself.

If you are chasing something it shows what you are making an effort to gain in life, but the thing you are pursuing might be difficult to arrive at, possible because of your own feelings about attaining it.

Many dreams in which you are pursued illustrate how you are running away from certain feelings or fears. The way the action of the dream unfolds depicts how you deal with the things that you try to escape from.

The example below shows how we can be pursued by fears or emotions, and can either continue to avoid them or face them. We are, in a real sense, pursued by what we have created with our thoughts, emotions, action and inaction. What we are avoiding might be sexual feelings; responsibility; expressing what we really feel in public; our fear of death; sense of failure; guilt; emotional pain; childhood trauma; grief – but it might be our creativity; our love; our passionate response to living; our deepest wisdom and oneness with things; the ancient power of life in us. You can never escape from yourself however much you try, so such feelings may pursue you throughout your life unless you turn and meet them.

Example: ‘Three men with clubs were chasing me but never actually caught me as I woke in terror. I was determined to tell myself it was only a dream and the next night as they were chasing me I remembered it was only a dream and lost all fear – stopped running – turned to face them and said ‘This is only a dream, you can’t hurt me.’ As they came closer they faded into nothing and I never saw them again.’ Account of dreams when 6 years old. Mr C.

By animal: Your passions; anger; natural feelings. See What does the animal in my dream mean.

By THING or shadowy creature: Usually past experience or trauma such as a hurt from childhood. It is also sometimes our own wonderful potential we are avoiding through fears such as what it might lead to – success, love? See:  archetype of the shadow

Chased by opposite sex: Afraid of love or sex; haunted by a past relationship.

Chasing: Something you are pursuing in life; something or someone you want. In some dreams it is an expression of aggression. See: follow.

Useful Questions and Hints:

If you imagine turning and facing who or what is chasing you, what do you feel? For help doing this see Stand in role.

Am I aware of what I am avoiding in my waking life?

Chasm

Sometimes in life we feel as if all the feelings and hopes, the relationships that have motivated us have fallen away, and there is simply emptiness and silence inside. This is typically what the chasm depicts. It is not necessarily a ‘bed’ experience as it allows us to discover the underlying hugeness beyond our small life.

The chasm also sometimes expresses fears or feelings about  death that we have. But it can also be about fear of sex, of the unconscious or the unknown. The following example illustrates such fears. See: Valley; Abyss

Example: My recurring dream is that I am on a spiral staircase with three or four people in front of me and throngs of people behind me. The staircase is not supported from the centre but the steps project from the sides of the stone walls. As we ascend the steps are getting farther and farther apart and narrower as they recede into the wall. There is a doorway ahead and the people in front of me have reached it and are urging me on. However, I can’t possibly reach it as the next step is only about half an inch wide by one inch long. The door is high above and beyond me out of arms reach! I look behind and down the centre chasm – it is very bright so I can see far – at the masses of people waiting patiently for me to go on, so there is no possibility of going back. I was divorced four years ago with no children. My mother and friends want to see me happily settled whereas I am terrified of repeating a disastrous marriage. V.S.

The dream is an illustration of the apparent futility and fear of takingthe next step in life. Yet the dream suggests that if she faces her fear and takes the next step there are people urging her on. Such dreams are simply images of our fears and feelings. The next step can be taken by using Secrets of Power Dreaming

Useful Questions and Hints:

Is there a big ‘hole’ in my life I am frightened of feeling or being engulfed by?

Is this something from the past I am scared of meeting again?

If I imagine letting myself fall into this chasm what do I feel? (Remember that dreams are simply images expressing your feelings or thoughts, and all you are doing here is to meet your own feelings.) For help doing this see Stand in role – Acting on your dream – Avoid Being Victims

Cheat Cheated Cheating

Being dishonest with yourself. Not living up to your real feelings. Feelings about being betrayed or your trust abused in some way.

But such dreams can occur to any woman. especially with ex’s. Dreamers often take theor dreams to mean a link with the actual person, but every thing and everybody represents something other that actula life. But when you think about a lover, a friend, an ex or a person you know, you are only taking in your thoughts, impressions and feelings about them. So many people do not realise that they have an inner person equally as powerful as the external person you know. You have taken in millions of bits of memory, lessons learnt, life experiences along with all the feelings or problems met by meeting or living with them, and they change you and make you the person you are. The memories and experience we gather unconsciously change us and are not lost. It is part of you and is symbolised in dreams as a person or event. Such an inner person can appear in dreams because you still carry the memories or impressions of them, and so they influenced what you hold within you.

These are meories that have altered your reactions and unless you realise they are energies working in you, and not an external person, you will go on living in a fantasy, and perhaps painful world. You need to integrate your past experience. See How Can I Integrate The Effects From Parents Garnparents or Ex’s

This can also be about acting in a way that takes advantage of another person to win; feeling one’s partner is ‘cheating’ on you, or you on them; taking love, money or opportunity under false pretences; not giving as good as you get; feeling you are not respected.

Some dreams are about social situations, such as being cheated by ones employer by not being fairly paid, or not getting your money’s worth in what you have paid for. But we might feel cheated by life events as well.

At times, as when we dream of a partner cheating, it is about feelings of suspicion, distrust or of not being loved or respected.

Example: Last night I had a dream that I was coming through a door way to find that my girlfriend/fiancée was kissing a guy….. and she looked up at me and just said we were over and I started crying begging her to stay with me, and she just kept walking away like I didn’t matter anymore… she started kissing that guy again like they had been dating for a while or something and acted like it didn’t bother me… I woke up crying because it felt real… would you have any idea what this mean?

Example: In my dream I’m with my ex girlfriend (who I still hang out with) we are hanging out being really close and lovey on each other. Then I leave the room for something and when I come back she is with a man. In this reoccurring dream she is always with a different guy and I don’t know who any of them are. When I walk in they are really close to each other and holding hands sometimes she is sitting on his lap. In my dream it always breaks my heart and I tell her how I feel and she acts like she doesn’t care. Then I wake up. In real life we were together for 2 years and I’m a girl. While we were together she cheated on me with men. We still hang out today but we are just friends with benefits.

This type of dream is usually from a young woman who either sees her boyfriend with another man or has powerful suspicions that he is seeing someone else. The dreamer is actually meeting her unresolved feelings of jealousy, of feeling not as good as the other person and not being lovable. Please see Ages of Love; Infidelity

 

Useful Questions and Hints:

Where can I locate these feeling sin my waking life, and what do they connect with?

If I am cheated on in my dream, is this about fears or reality?

Is this about relationship with a person, an organisation or life events?

Chemicals

This may refer to the fact that part of your being is chemical. So it might refer to the chemical interactions in you through food or drugs you put into our mouth; or to the state of this fundamental and material level of your existence.

Minerals or chemicals also hold potential energy or power of change in the right conditions, so can point to personal ‘chemistry’ or transformation, as when used in alchemy.

Chemicals play a large part in the subtle interaction in animals and humans, as already suggested by the word ‘chemistry’ when used in regard to relationships.

Socially and personally we also face the bombardment of chemical toxins on our system, along with the possibility of allergies and illness caused by them. So we need to be aware that our dream might be giving information about this influence on us.

Example: I stand and look at what I can see at the narrowest part of the path. Chemical waste is being pumped out of a factory into a large concrete pit to my right. But right in front of me to the right a ventilator is blowing some sort of jelly like substance onto a fence and large pipe. On it dozens of snails and slugs are feeding or have become trapped in it. They look very unhealthy. I turn to leave but somehow get some of the chemical waste on my trouser leg and on my arm or hand. I feel the stuff is poisonous and I am absorbing it through my skin. I experience images of the factory manager who has had many such contacts with the chemical, and has scars on him from where the chemical was on his body.

We need to remember that our experience of self is capable of being radically shifted simply by taking a drug or medicine? as with antidepressants, ecstasy or cocaine. This often reshapes the way we see ourselves, so an evolution in the process of identity building has occurred in our society. Identity in the end is not a set of beliefs or behaviours. The self is not limited to these. In today’s world our identity is often shaped by chemicals.

Example: The animal in your dream can portray your relationship with the fundamental life processes in you. Dreams depict these processes as intelligent and responsive, not just as chemical actions and reactions as modern medicine so often does. Therefore your conscious attitudes influence these fundamental living processes in you – processes that maintain health, digest, beat your heart, rebuild damage and fight infection. Negative feelings or attitudes can cause these ‘animals’ is you to despair or lose motivation, and thus lead to depression or illness. Remember that in looking at the animal in your dreams you are yourself an animal. You as a person are a tiny spark of consciousness, a little bit of self awareness riding an incredibly ancient animal you call your body. Remember that your body has formed from cells and genetic information that has gradually developed over millions of years. It holds that information in it unconsciously. The animal in your dreams depicts this ancient wisdom and how you relate to it. It shows you how you are dealing with the urges in you that are natural, but might need to be helped into modern life or transformed in some way, not killed out, maimed or tortured.

Chemist Pharmacy

This is usually connected with health concerns, what the body needs, or some form of healing. The pharmacist can be similar to doctor – wisdom about self, insight into self. But also someone who understands the chemistry of life, so may be similar to a witch or wizard mixing potions in some dreams. See: doctor under roles.

The shop is a place to gain advice or help to change a difficult life situation, or to prevent one. In some dreams it also seems to be about searching for something. The search might be for a necessary thing we need, or the search for our own core self from which we find peace and well being.

Most of us have a chemical relationship with life – just look at the place you keep pain killers, alcohol, drugs, vitamins and medicines, even tea and coffee are powerful drugs and chemical alterations of our mind. They all interact with our body and brain – with us. See

Example: I was nursing a baby of about four months close to my chest. It appeared to be mine. Suddenly I was aware the baby was not having any food apart from milk and I became very worried. I set off to go to a chemist to buy some baby gruel to compliment its feeds.

Example: Was coming up out of an underground station. On my left I noticed a brand new shop, like a chemist’s, but called Sexuality. I knew it was a new scheme, legal, smart, businesslike, but prostitution. As I walked up the stairs to the exit, a man, the proprietor, came up to me and said, “Would you like to sleep with someone else?”

Knowing he meant a young prostitute, and making a joke of it, I said, “What do you mean? Someone other than yourself?” He was a bit shocked and said, “Oh yes, of course!”

Cheque Check

This might represent a promise, or something unredeemed that is of value or has potential. It could even be a bad cheque, a promise that was never meant to be kept. See: Money.

Are you giving or receiving. In dreams giving and receiving are the two sides of the same thing.

The cheque could also point to something you have earned, but perhaps not yet redeemed.

Chess

This probably represents the skills and strategies you use in meeting the circumstances of your life. It may also point to careful scheming or planning to win, or to defeat an opponent. Often this is about relationship too, so it is important to recognise who you are playing against or what the situation is in the game. See: Games.

This might also point to the game of life and how you are playing it – what are the situations you are facing could be indicated in the events of the dream. See: games – Dreams are Like a Computer Game.

A dream is like a game of chess with all the possibilities of the different pieces interacting. So you could be playing a game of strategy with the pieces/people in your dream.

Example: But now I must go back and fight him in order to save my family, now frozen in his power. I go, via instructions from some feminine voice, to a platform up in the clouds and there are some remote control-like game boards in a basket. I pick up one. The voice says, “This one can be adapted well.” I look at it closer. It is a chess game, electronic. I say “Ah, the good old chess game,” satisfied it can be modified to fight this powerful man and save my family. I turn it over and look at the back side of it and see the tiny shapes of the black “men” or pieces. I want to review the rules of how they are allowed to move.

Example: I climbed to the top of some stairs and knocked on a door. It was opened by a woman in Tudor dress who beckoned me to enter. On a dais was the King. He was delighted to see me and hugged me. I presented him with a chair made by women from all over the world. We ate, then he said, ‘We’ll have a game of chess’.

An interpretation given to the dream is: Human self awareness is unique in nature. It comes about by a fragile balance of many factors. Your dream illustrates one of the factors important for personal balance – your relationship with your father, shown here as the king. In our childhood our father is often seen by our inner feelings as the great authority figure in our life. Difficulties with him develop into difficulties with authority in everyday life.

The woman is your mother, leaving the door open to be loved by father, and in the dream the relationship is good. But using the king as a symbol suggests some insecurity. You offer the many aspects of yourself, the chair, as a gift, a way of gaining love. The chess shows you challenging your dependence on your father for love and approval, to develop your self esteem and independence.

Useful Questions and Hints:

What strategies are shown in the dream, and how might they apply to you?

Do I know how to play chess – do I know the rules of the game of life and what moves to make?

Who am I pitting myself against – male or female – does that apply in my life?

Chest

Sometimes this points to a connection with your physical chest. But most often it shows what emotions, what memories and passions you are storing within you, literally in your chest. You may hide precious and loving feelings too, locked up, or shut away inside you.

This is often used in a way similar to a wooden chest – in other words a place to store emotions. So the chest signifies your emotions as a whole, but also how you are relating to them. Many dreams either include being shot in the chest or a weight on the chest holding the person down – maybe someone standing on the chest. Being shot indicates an emotional shock or hurt that, depending on the dream, can be very painful or needing attention.

The weight on the chest shows how feelings, emotions are so heavy they are holding you back from being easily active and outgoing.

Some dreams show things going into of being pulled out of the chest, and these indicate either influences enter your feelings and changing how you feel about things, or stuff that you have held within, old emotions perhaps, being drawn out.

The chest is a reasonably protected area because of the ribs, so in some dreams it indicates ones strength, defensiveness, or the ways you protect your ‘heart’ – your sensitive core of feelings. But it can also be used as an image of your pride or your positive and life giving feelings. The chest, with its inflow and outflow of air also shows your connection with others and the world through empathy, through your feeling links.

Man’s dream: Sense of social confidence and strength to meet the world – or lack of it, depending on how the dreamer feels in the dream.

If healthy: Positive sense of social recognition.

Woman’s dream: Ability to give of yourself; feelings about womanhood. See: breath.

Example: The heart pain – a pain right through my chest from front to back, or a general ache and pain in the chest – I have been suffering for some months now, I feel is tied up with this business of ‘opening up’ to my feelings.

Example: Feeling tired – exhausted – just lying drained of energy. I am conscious of people talking, saying I was ill. I thought I was just tired. Then asked what the matter was. I was told it was my heart, ‘dry and hard like a boiled egg’ they said. Found I couldn’t talk. Tried to write, wanted A. to know that I loved him, but the pen kept drying up. Finger and feet began to get cold. An icy coldness slowly spread all over my body. A liquid warmth was then all around me. I thought I was haemorrhaging. A needle was stuck in my left arm and my chest was being cut open – it didn’t hurt. There was a lot of activity. They said I had gone. I was trying desperately to let them know I was still there. Then I was in a bag and sliding off a table. The bag was tied above my head. Then from the confined darkness I was free. There was a brilliant light all around. I could still see the sack with a body still in it far behind me. I was incredibly happy and full of energy. Trish L

Often people go through a death and rebirth experience, as in the above dream. It is often a necessary thing as our old self, full of habits, emotions, thoughts and attitudes that were causing so much distress needed to be got rid of, so that a new self could emerge.

Idioms: Get it off my chest.

Useful Questions and Hints:

Is my dream indicating that I have been hurt – if so what has hurt my feelings recently?

Does the chest show me being proud and strong, or does it have signs of weakness – if so what are they?

Is this about the way I link with others – if so what am I realising?

Am I anxious about the health of my heart?

Am I showing some sort of defensiveness?

Chew chewed chewing

Often to savour or enjoy something, but also to think something over, to analyse or break it down in order to absorb it. To sample something, or take it into yourself as a feeling, an idea or experience.

We use our teeth sometimes to chew through something like a cord, and this suggests being involved with the action, in the sense that you can taste it and it is in your mouth so you experience it. It can also suggest desire to hurt.

Our mouth is a way we express desire and hunger. From the first we reach for our mother’s breast, and later we express hunger and longing in kissing. So there may be elements of this in what we take in and chew in our dream. See: Eating.

If you are chewing something and you try desperately to get out of your mouth, see entry under mouth.

Chewing gum: It could represent releasing tension in the mouth – or simply a habit from childhood and the having something sweet in the mouth.

Idioms: Bite off more than you can chew; bite your tongue; chew him/her out; chew the fat; chew the rag.

Useful Questions and Hints:

What is it I am chewing, and does this point to something I am taking into myself at the moment?

Is this pleasant or unpleasant, and what of these is evident in my life?

Am I hungering for something?

Chicken

If being eaten suggests nourishment. Otherwise a female, or the female in a male; being ‘chicken’ or scared. See: Birds.

If you know chickens and have watched and reared them you will have other associations, such as motherhood, the wonderful fatherhood of the cockerel. Also the stillness and concentration of the broody hen. See Associations Working With

Example: A large cockerel was amongst them and to my amused pleasure began immediately to chase the hens. They all ran madly away. My father was there now and said the chickens wouldn’t lay with that chicken chasing them. I said it wasn’t a chicken that’s a cockerel, and they would soon calm down. My mother now came. I said the chickens would stop running eventually because the cockerel was bigger than they. She said, no, it wasn’t the size, but the manner and attitude of his approach. She meant it caused an instinctive responses them.

When I explored the dream I realised that of course. I am a cockerel that is inwardly a chicken. I am chicken because I won’t see my own homosexuality. I am chicken because I have made myself a passive female. My mother says it is not the size, its the – inner – attitude. Of course, my inner attitude, as a chicken, is changing. I have been the size of a cockerel, but with the soul of a chicken – female.

This dream can lead to the thought that a cockerel with chickens can mean the eggs are fertile, which might mean for a woman that she is ready to have a baby.

Example: ‘An old lady made room for me to sit at the end of one of the three seats of a bus. As we drove away a very large chicken size baby bird flew in. It had short stubby wings and yellow down, but flew expertly. I believe it first landed on the lady and chirped squeakily. But in it’s squeaks it actually spoke, saying it had lost it’s mother. It sounded as if it were crying.’ Andrew.

Here the chicken obviously represents the dreamers own childhood feelings of desertion. The old lady is the mother.

Sometimes there may be associations with ‘chicken feed’ and so the question is, are you working for nothing?  Also is there any sign of this being a ‘hen party’? If so ask ourself if you are guilty of it.

Chicken run: A cage to control an farm what in nature are what used to be dinosaurs. So it may reflect your attempts to control and use your own freedom.

The cock: a male or the male sexual characteristics; confidence; fatherhood.

The hen: Mother; motherhood; being immersed in motherhood concerns and perhaps not having a life beyond that.

Chicks: This is a reference either to your own babyhood and feelings or events associated with it, or to external baby or babies. This may at times point to vulnerable people or assets.

 

Idioms: chicken feed; chickens come home to roost; chicken hearted; she’s no chicken; cock of the walk; don’t count your chicks/chickens before they are hatched.
