I had a dream were my mum was telling me to shave of my beard. And I kept telling her I couldn’t be bothered. And she was like No, it looks awful shave it off, it looks awful on a young woman of your age. And my beard was all bristly and stuff.
I think this dream might be about learning to balance your male and female sides. Your Mother is representing your nurturing female side and your Beard is representing your masculine, power, aggressive side (among other things - but let's use extremes here!).
Would you say that you tend to use your more masculine, mars-y, male side? Is it overpowering your female side? Are you overpowering others in terms of your opinions, actions or...?
That you simply 'couldn't be bothered' to shave it off is interesting...do you feel that way about things in your life? Just can't be bothered?
Wow I think this could be male/female too. Like #622.
Have you recently become more comfortable or moved towards achieving balance. Are you comfortable with your masculine side. Does your mum or even yourself show uneasieness with this expression. I just had a convo with my spiritual friend who is female and is definietly feminine but who has a definite masculine side that she does not suppress. I love the male in her and she loves the female that I do not supress. We both talked just yesterday about how merging the two and achieving balance where the sum total of the two in perfect unison would be greater than the sum of those parts. A whole nutha level!
Tracey I feel very strongly about this merger. I just read #622 a few minutes ago before I came here. I have felt so strongly about this the past 2 days I even started reading about alchemy again just today. I wonder If anyone else is having similar transformational dreams? It's amazing I met an amazing female on my white mirror day Nov 27 while at Thanksgiving. She had a definite strength that I believe came from a near balance of masculine/feminine white mirror shows reflection of what is right? also remember I said I was surrounded by white mirrors in my family and new relationships? Those last couple of dreams of mine included 3 females my ex who is a white mirror/my spiritual friend who is a white mirror and this new gal that I met (how much you wanna bet she's a white mirror? This trinity of females offers insight to me by showing a clear reflection of myself the good the bad and the ugly. In addition I mentioned earlier I am attracting more beneficial people and entities into my life so perhaps it has to do with what I am pitting out. Anyway I'm just putting some things together as I type after reading these dreams now I can go back and re-analyze some of mine. I can already see where some of the females in my life and dreams paralell reflections of myself.
Yes yes YES! This male/female merger has been all me and my friends have been talking about lately too! It really came into HUGE consciousness the few months before the Harmonic Concordance (all about that merger).
I pulled these 'soul cards' last week with my friend and we were amazed at the reading. There are no words that go with the cards just images and you intuit what the meaning is. Well - it was pretty #$%$# clear! First card (past) was a pregnant woman - with a round vessel in her stomach (this matches the dream I had a few years ago where I put an alchemical glass vessel up inside myself! I didn't even know what this strange vessel was - or even what Alchemy was at that time - only when I looked through a Jung book did I see MY vessel. woah. Symbol for the Soul - and the 'cooking' that has been going on inside me since them) 2. Child being born out of the woman (yup - this was card 2!) The Present. I am in my brand new year right now (19/10/1) and it signifies a new Phase...birth of something new - which I SO feel. 3. The Future: it was a painting of the merging of a masculine and a feminine head! (union! Wholeness!) The tops of their heads merged as one...oh my oh my! Exciting.
So, yes, I know exactly what you're talking about!
That is wild about all your White Mirror people! And the fact that you met a new girl on your White Mirror day. Yes, they are reflecting yourself back to yourself...verrry neat.
Yeah that's pretty clear huh? I don't know much about alchemy but basics of what I've read in the past. I started recognizing this male female thing about 2 1/2 yrs ago when my ex and I divorced. There was a definite male female confontation between my female and her male strangely enough. I started to see that I had supressed my usually potent male side to much to where the female became dominant. My ex had made her male dominant to the slaying of her female. When I look at her now she is definitely suffering for it as I would have been if I had not become aware of this on a certain level. Everyone introduced to me reminds me of this as if it was something that I had learned in school but somehow forgot. Our few arguements my ex and I ever had were because We noticed in each other our negative qualities that we hated in ourselves. When I met my second white mirror who is my spiritual friend she reminded me that the egyptian ankh symbol of male/female dealt with "when the two become one" she is one who has good potential at achieving a balance. Most of us get pressure to supress one side of us as it is unbecoming. So it is good for females who have a strong masculine side or males who have a strong feminine to learn balance and not let one rise above the other. I also have this trinity of women in my dreams and wonder if that relationship with mirrors deals with the same issue or the trinity being one?
I see a lot of my self both positive and negative in these three. One my ex- is base, the baby from my other dream and emotional, overly masculine supressing her female. The second woman (my spiritual friend) is a femine deluge of spiritual awakening and synchronicity for me as well as a developed masculine. The third female in my dreams could be several women I have met recently who seem to be lending towards a complete merger of the previous two. I'm not sure who the third is yet but I did meet a girl who was one of the best examples I have noticed of at least near complete balance. Don't know that I would recognize complete anyway.
So maybe the dreams do come on several layers adressing our physical as well as spiritual/mental/emotional.
We definitely need to investigate this further!
Just my 2 cents. We often assoicate beards with hermits or those living outside the norm, sadhu etc. Shaving is usually an act of renunciation. Giving something up in order to transform. You were unwilling to give up your beard.
BTW...this came to mind also, so I'll share it. A swami that I know says, it's not important to shave your head to renounce, only to shave the mind!
lady, in your absence we cooked up all kind of alchemical recipes, what do you think? do you have any further insight to your dream anything sound familiar, or is there something different you have come up with.
Anthony might be closer to the truth that you are actually MORE balanced - your Feminine/Masculine sides...I'm not sure why I thought that your masculine was overpowering...
I guess it's because the hair symbolism mostly refers to power (sexual power too), attractiveness, vim and vigour!
Yes I hope she comes back this is intriguing me the male female thing maybe a merger coming soon getting ready by attempting to defecate or eliminate a female side or face pressure of shaving off a masculine side when what we need is a complete merger of the two. Two levels again physical base eliminating of cellular toxins as well as spiritual/emotional/mental debris and. Becoming clean or purified by the purging whereby we coax the silver hair of female spirituality, compassion, intuition etc... to merge with the male by not cutting his beard. A whole nutha level! If she verifies it may be similar to peachy's and maybe we have a whole consciousness dream happenin between all of us.

thanks everybody. i am actually trying to find my inner beuty by balancing out myself, maybe this dream is telling me im getting somewhere! :)
interesting u should say those things janaki because every1 ussually s at me as a bit of a loner or a weirdo, which im just fine with lol. when i was doing this chakra exercise the teacher noticed i had cloured in the red bit very large. so she thinks it means im trying to make a stand. hmmmmmmm..............*ponders* all very interesting
Could this dream have any relevance to the problems you're having in your relationship? In the dream, your mom is telling you to shave off the (masculine) beard, but you can't be bothered even though it's bristly. In your life, your mom is telling you to get out of your relationship (which is showing signs of abuse) and yet you keep wanting to "stick" to it even though it's not as comfortable as it should or could be.
Thanks for that insight. 'Giving up something in order to transform' (shaving the beard - or your mind!) I will definitely store that away in my 'beard' files! I love your interpretation. Something to think about...
I've been taking something called the Indian Herb which Andreas Moritz recommends. It seems to be forcing up all this old crap that I probably didn't adequately deal with...ie. I'm still afraid and selfish and egoistic...so I still have some work to do in life! The Herb, in my opinion is being 'way' harsh, but maybe this is the best way for me to grow.
Interesting you say that maybe this is the best way for you to 'grow'.
I was just checking out your chart and, although there are some challenging energies coming in for you right now - there is Jupiter (GROWTH & Benevolent Guide) transiting through your 8th house right now. When I had this transit I had all sorts of diggin earth dreams...as the 8th house is the house of Transformation, deep psyche, sex & death - all that is mysterious! - it seemed very appropriate that on deep levels I was digging around in the dark - turning over soil etc etc. So...it is a time for DEEP GROWTH and Transformation for you Janaki! To top it off your Sun/Pluto/Uranus pod is in the 8th house - so this just means that the 8th house is of UTMOST importance to you. You're familiar with it's energies. In August/September Jupiter will pass over your Pluto/Sun/Uranus pod - which will be a huge very real Growth and Expansion to your Self and your on-going transformation. Right now Jupiter is laying the groundwork for that conjunction. Growth growth growth on deep levels Janaki!
So - I'd say that Herb is doing just what it should be doing - and, of course, you are ready for this and chose the tool to manifest this stuff that coming up...in order to be transformed...
