I had a dream last night that I was on a journey to get something very important. It was kind of medeival, moving from one walled city to another, or rather CHOOSING one over another, going back in time. I found exactly what I was looking for...a shop that sold these particular dolls. They were very small. There were white, yellow dolls, possibly other colours and one red doll. It was the red one I was after. In the dream I really wanted the red one because it was the right one. My husband is Indian, so that is why I was set on red. The only problem is that the red one was so much more expensive than the others, like double or triple the price. I debated about getting another colour and finally decided that even though it would max my credit card I'd get the red one. Finally my mother appeared and admitted that she had been knitting a sweater and hat for the red doll.
Possibly I could interpret parts of this myself, but am curious to hear what anyone else would say about it. I guess I'm too close to it to decide which way I should interpret it.
This is a toughy, the first thing that comes to mind for me are the colors. Red being the root chakra color which would indicate matters of balance and grounding. The doll is harder, maybe it is a way of keeping the matter outside of yourself. The doll might stand for an image that is not real.

I was thinking about this dream of yours today while I walked around town doing my errands. I am soooo curious as to what you're thinking it's about. You must tell!
I'm having a bit of a hard time with the 'doll' because what are dolls? Not a real person - only the shell? Or they're something that when we are young....we have in order to have an outlet for caring and nurturing feelings...? hmmmm.
What I DO know is that 'walled cities' represent your Self. Jung was very into alchemy and those neat old symbolic 'emblems' and whenever they used the walled city in their pictures it represented the Self. Mandala. (square or circle) That you said you were travelling back in time gives me a feeling that you may have been exploring many of your different past selves! This could be far-fetched but there are parts of your dream that just keep saying 'I.C. I.C.' to me! I know that sounds like gibberish...but in astrology the very bottom of your chart is the I.C. and it is the Past, Memories, your connection to your past....even deep deep past. It is also Red! Because this part represents the Root Chakra.
Now what I'm getting from this is that you're searching for this Red Doll...and she's Red because you need to NOT forget about being Anchored to the ground or even the Past somehow. One is reminded to use Red to ground and stabilize oneself when one is going to raise the Kundalini force. Without the groundedness the force might rise too quickly. The Red/White connection. 1st chakra and 7th/8th...
I think the dream was making sure you know to anchor your energy before attempting transformation.
Also...Jung always says that when you buy things or when something is expensive...it's about your Self....about how Valuable you are. And that you decided to fork out that extra money for the 'right' doll is fantastic! You are understanding how Valuable your Self is - and are willing to put energy (money) into it.
I like this dream.
What is your take on it! (it's probably the 'right' take after all!)
I think maybe the dream can be interpreted at different levels. I do like your interpretation about grounding.
I wonder if, on a more superficial level it represents the fact that my husband and I would like to have a baby but we don't have the money. However this is nothing new for me to be thinking about, and perhaps obvious, except for the fact that I maxxed my credit card to get this doll. That was my immediate feeling, but later I thought that there must be more to it than that.
On the website 'dreamloverinc' I found the following about dolls:
Dolls in dreams are lifeless images of real people. They are suggestive of a person that is not genuine and does not
express her feelings. Most dreams are about our personal issues and concerns and not about others. Therefore,
think about yourself and try to see if you have been behaving in such ways that have been less than "real." Dolls
as a dream symbol may represent the way you relate and interact with your internal and external environments. If
feelings of detachment and phoniness prevail in your daily life, then they may be reflected in this dream.
I don't really feel satisfied with this though.
What does I.C. mean? Is it just a connection to the past? Does it stand for something?
Hmmmm...Yes, I couldn't really fit the traditional meaning of 'doll' into your dream...
I.C. is latin - Imum Coeli -meaning the deepest or inmost part of your chart. It's the opposite of M.C. (Medium Coeli) the topmost part of your chart.
So, to me the I.C. is like the rod of energy that connects you to the earth/ground and the divine. The I.C. is to the earth, past, past lives (red)...and the M.C. is to your future and the divine. (white)
What exactly did the doll look like? Was it soft? Did it have an expression? What were your feelings towards it? Yeah, you did think about your husband in relation to the doll...maybe it is about you wanting a baby...but maybe you're not thinking of it as a real living thing at this point? It's just an idea? hmmmmm...Or maybe the groundedness represented by the Red is telling you to ground first - value yourself (you DID max out your card to get it - so it is important)...THEN think about a real baby? hmmmmm I just don't know!
It was a soft doll, made of fabric. It looked home-made. It was small and flattish. It didn't have much of an expression, just features, eyes, nose, mouth etc.
I guess this one's going to stump me for a while.
This might sound funny, but my cousin who is psychic told me that there's a person (baby) who badly wants to be born to my husband and I. He or she is waiting patiently (and we're being VERY careful). I don't think that the doll is this person. Just a gut instinct. So, maybe the doll represents something in my childhood (my mother made me a similar doll) or an aspect of myself....perhaps superficial!? I don't know.
