Symbolism exists in your everyday life as well as your dreams. Today I talked to a client who has dozens of Praying Mantis in her yard. In the book, Animal-Speak: the spiritual and magical powers of creatures great and small by Ted andrews, the author describes the symbolic meaning of various animals, insects and birds that show up in life.
Praying Mantis indicate the "power of stillness." This individual practices meditation and knows the power of meditation to connect her to her Source Energy,as well as providing guidance and direction. Then on a trip north to her family homestead, there were dozens of hawks flying overhead. Hawks represent "visionary power and guardianship." Furthermore birds are considered messengers. She took from this that she was watched over and being guided. As long as she kept her place of stillness within, the guidance would come through to her. This was an effective methodology for her. Another female client had a dream of a small female child standing on a bridge. The child waited for her to take her hand and walk her across the bridge. She did this. The bridge represents a transition (from one side to the other), bridging something. The child represented a NEW WAY in life. The dream communicated to her that she had, in deed, made a decision to bring a child into her life and she was crossing the bridge to a new beginning by doing that. In other words, she was beginning a new life. So there you have it. Dreams can bring depth of understanding to your swareness and corroborate where you are in your development.
