Stranger

A piece of you, not yet introduced

What it often means

A stranger is rarely truly strange in a dream. They tend to carry pieces of you that you have not introduced yourself to yet — qualities, possibilities, even shadows.

When it tends to appear

  • When you are growing into qualities you have not fully claimed
  • When something unfamiliar inside you is coming forward
  • When you have been overly self-defined

Sit with these questions

  1. 1

    What did the stranger feel like — kind, threatening, knowing?

  2. 2

    What quality might they be carrying for you?

  3. 3

    How might you welcome that part of yourself today?
