Shore

The meeting of two selves

What it often means

A shore in dreams is the meeting point between what is conscious and what is much, much older in you. Standing there, you are listening to both at once.

When it tends to appear

  • When intuition is rising into conscious view
  • During in-between seasons of self
  • When the past keeps washing up for review

Sit with these questions

  1. 1

    What kept washing up for you to notice?

  2. 2

    What did you choose to keep, and what did you let return to the sea?

  3. 3

    Which side of the shore did you feel more at home on?

Did this symbol visit your dream?
