Pillow in Your Dream: Symbol of Comfort and Contemplation
Dreams are a complex language carrying hidden messages from our subconscious. Each symbol, each detail has a meaning and deciphering these meanings can help us understand our own inner journey. Pillow is a symbol that often appears in dreams and carries different meanings. Let's examine the meaning of this symbol through the perspectives of different dream interpreters:
Spiritual Comfort and Realm of Thought
According to Ibn Sirin, pillow in a dream represents a person's spiritual comfort, peace and inner calmness. This may indicate that the person is going through a stressful period in their life and needs to rest. Also, pillow may symbolize a person's desire to focus on their inner world, thoughts and dreams. Seeing yourself using the pillow comfortably and pleasantly in your dream can indicate inner peace and calmness.
Emotional Security and Support
Imam Ghazali sees pillow as a symbol reflecting a person's need for emotional security and support. This dream may indicate that the person needs someone they can trust emotionally in their life, that they don't feel safe or that they are unsupported. Being soft and comfortable can reflect that the person is close to someone they trust, while being hard and uncomfortable can reflect the lack of a sense of security.
Investment and Gain
Seyyid Suleyman states that seeing a pillow in a dream brings news of investments and gains. The material and quality of the pillow can also support this interpretation. For example, seeing a pillow made of silk can indicate an investment that will bring luxury and great profit. A worn and old pillow, on the other hand, can mean a small and hard-earned income.
Calmness and Security
Talim al-Hakim interprets the pillow dream as a sign of a period in which the person is calm and peaceful. This dream indicates that the person has a safe and comfortable environment around them and has the opportunity to live happily.
Subconscious and Journey to the Inner World
According to Jung's psychological approach, a pillow dream represents a person's desire to descend into the subconscious, the dream world, or their inner journey. This dream may indicate that the person wants to delve into the depths of their own mind, explore their inner thoughts and face the unknown.
Emotional Obstacle and Suppression
From Freud's psychoanalytic perspective, a pillow dream indicates that the person is encountering emotional obstacles and has suppressed emotions. The hardness, discomfort, or continuous falling of the pillow in the dream indicates that the emotions suppressed in the person's subconscious are beginning to emerge or that these emotions are beginning to affect the person's life.
Important Note:
Dream interpretations are just guides and your personal interpretations should also be taken into account. Consider every detail you remember about the dream (the color, material, location of the pillow, etc.). The overall atmosphere of the dream, your emotional state and the events in your life are also important in interpretation. Most importantly, try to think about how your dream makes you feel and what message it is giving you.
