Fairy
Magic just at the edge of what is real
What it often means
Fairies in dreams operate at the threshold of the visible and invisible — the magic that is real but easily missed. They often appear when whimsy, delight, or the non-rational is asking for space in a life that has become too serious.
When it tends to appear
- When play, imagination, or wonder has been starved of room
- When something magical or unexpected is wanting to enter
- When the rational mind is not the right tool for the current problem
Sit with these questions
- 1
Where in your life has wonder been squeezed out?
- 2
What non-rational thing are you dismissing that might be real?
- 3
What would you do differently if magic were permitted?
