14: Male and Female Dream Characters Often Describe Inner Conflict - a podcast by Amy Lawson

Dreams from this episode:
* Finding dead deer parts while urbexing* Green dye in the ocean reveals sandy caves and a snake
* Fire and water gods shape people into a crystal wishbone* A car and bus journey in drag
Themes from this episode:* The unconscious uses masculine and feminine characters and imagery to communicate with us about different parts of our personality.
* Everyone, regardless of gender, has masculine and feminine aspects of their psyche that they can use at different times when needed.* The unconscious constantly uses the masculine/feminine dichotomy to symbolize opposite forces inside us, because it’s such a well-known pair of opposites that we see in external relationships where people balance and complete each other.
