Hi guys, |
|
I've heard that lizards symobilize growing creativity. Are you engaged in anything creative these days? |
|
hi, thanks for the comment. intersting. Actually I am considering a few creative moves in my life but they are all in my head right now.actually one of them is getting into photography professionaly.... could it be that the dream is commenting on this desire. I can see the kitchen location associated with creativity. maybe it is saying that it is the right time to bring to life creative ideas? |
|
You may be on to something. |
|
yes, you seem to be right. The kitchen could suggest that something is cooking or being prepared for manifestation. there is fear of creation, maybe basically my creativity block. I once read that snake also represents creative-wisdom, however the fact that it was black , takes it as you said to the side of fear or negativity. I feel this dream has both the snake bite as well as the antidote, the fix. |
|
just hit on an article that reassures the subject matter of the dream, as you said it's about creativity but also the fear that blocks it. |

Its often very difficult to tell if a symbol is a symbol. Here the lizards are linked with some bizare imagery. The breeding and the breeding with a camera is making the symbolism very complex. The lizard may just be a symbol of something extremely photogenic. Something worth taking a shot of. |

well I try to build on your idea that the lizards imagery stands for something photogenic. But i do not believe dreams content is arbitrary (especially in rare times when I manage to find reason in them ) My knowledge on lizards that I held prior to this dream was that lizards have the ability to let go of their tails for survival thus representing letting go of the past. I am in such a time in my life, need to release the past. Now it seems like letting go is also about shifting the focus from the black snake (negativity) to focusing on the beautiful side of life (my fondness for photography) seeing the beauty and giving up struggle or survival mode (my initial knee jerrk reaction wanting to kill the lizards). We know that what we focus on expands. |

What unclesirbob said reminds me of Star Trek: Next Generation, "Sometimes a cat is just a cat." |
|
did he really say that!? that's very reptilian. I guess that would be the same atitude of my dream-snake towards the dream-lizards for example... a lizard is just a lizard... protein-rich meal.... it's a jungle out there. |
|
Sorry for my lack of clarity. When he said, "Its often very difficult to tell if a symbol is a symbol," the first thing that popped into my head is "sometimes a cat is just a cat." It was probably the structure of the sentence but not the meaning behind the words. I sometimes see odd patterns that others do not. |
|
I understand , anyway I think your "cat quote" is very intuitive.... like cats are... |
|
Cats are very intuitive...not to mention kookie. |
|
Well your idea is good. Its really a matter of just exploring every possibility. |
