How old is your inner child?

Anonim

I wonder what this is a strange symbol? Why do we see ourselves at a certain age?

What exactly will the dream be translated through the paintings of our childhood?

Here are some examples:

"In a dream, I see that my little girl is yelling in my room. It seems that this is not me, but in a dream I understand that this girl is me. She shouts, crying, very small. For some reason I am experiencing a mixture of disgust and pity. "

Or other:

"In a dream, I am a baking daughter. I have a daughter, sleep does not surprise me, he is usual. Similar to life. I won't want a daughter to fall asleep, and she mess around, grumbling. I'm growing irritation. After a while I stop learning it. "

Now let's turn to the receptions of the analysis of these dreams.

Sleep liability does not mean that his message on the surface.

In order to comment on these discerns of dreams, turn to the generic team of transactional analysis, the author of the most famous books Erik Bern. Only lazy did not try to read his works: "People who play in games" and "games played in which people play." However, these books are not so simple, although popular.

The author disassembles several states in which our ego may be: a child, parent and adult.

Without going into complex theoretical details, the condition of the child is a spontaneous state, living, dynamic. In it, we are able to more directly experience events in life. "Parent" in us is responsible for morality, for "you can" and "it is impossible."

During growth and growing, the child becomes weaker in us, and the parent is stronger. More and more manifestation of openness, ease and directness has to be kept. Often the "child" is infringed in us, scared, depressed either in sorrow.

A child in a dream in which we learn that can symbolize some kind of disturbing problem. It only comes from that time in which this child is in a dream.

In other words, the child of a certain age "freezes" in us, in which some event occurred. With this event, a child was difficult to cope with himself. As a rule, it was accompanied by emotional potassium, as well as during this event and after the baby did not have enough attention and support.

Such events from childhood remember for a long time, others are erased from the memory, as if they were not at all.

But sleep opens in front of us, at what age our inner child could experience his difficulties, crises and even sometimes traumatic events.

With the help of dreams and their analysis, you can learn more deeply, what kind of "trouble" he is going to tell.

For example, if the dreams, as in our examples, sees a very small child, it is quite possible that his subconsciously copes with the experiences of the earliest years.

If a child in a dream is older, he symbolizes the difficulties of other ages: 3 years - a branch from Mom, the acquisition of the position "I myself", the emergence of his and other things, building an individual and borders. Or some particular case that occurred at that time of growing up.

So get to know better with your inner child. Probably right now, in a dream, he permits his difficulties, copes with unfinished feelings.

Pay attention also to the attitude of the "adults" of the dreams to their kids. One experienced disgust and pity, the second is irritation.

These are good symptoms of how they are "adult", more precisely moralizing, part refers to the experiences of the child within us. Often the experiences live in us for a long time, accumulate, precisely because "Parental" our part criticizes them, prohibits being sad, evil, spontaneous, in love.

If we were patient and careful about our child, I would not have to save so much feelings in ourselves.

The life of the table would be easier and more pleasant.
