I have become hooked on The Mentalist! I like the fact that he is so grounded in the here and now that he is able to accept what he sees/feels without judgment, and without fear.
In last nights show he saw what everyone else saw - what appeared to be a bully, and what appeared to be a practicing witch. Beneath both of these personas were people that had been abused by life, and were in actuality victims themselves. And both of these peopel were protecting the same person! Awesome!
In this morning's Meltwater News I ran across an article from Bella Online (quite an interesting site!). It was discussing dream symbols and archetypes. (Some dream symbols are particular to the individual doing the dreaming, others are archetypal in nature - they carry the same energy for all people, and are recognized in the same manner.)
The lead-in to the article was quite a common scenario - someone being chased by a figure whose face they cannot see. I know that I have had this dream more than once, and I imagine that you have too. This type of dream was said to be an expression of the animus, or male principle, that we all carry within us. (Each of us has an anima (female) and animus (male) nature within us.)
Dreams connected with the anima and animus are presented as dreams that connect our conscious and subconscious (unconscious) selves. They are helping us along the path of what Jung termed "individuation", or becoming whole.
What are your dreams telling you? If you work with your dreams on an intuitive basis, you will quickly move forward in this lifetime, as you acknowledge and integrate your shadow issues (those issues that we all either refuse to acknowledge, or acknowledge and fear dealing with).
Find the Mentalist within yourself!
