There are two sources of symbols: those that are innate and those that are acquired.
Personal symbols
These are the ones that project us into a lived memory that is the origin of a feeling triggered during a past experience. For example, a bench placed in a park makes you think of a desire for romance. If this bench is familiar to you and brings back tender memories with a specific person, and even if this feeling projects you twenty years into the past, this bench will color a feeling to come, not necessarily with the character from the dream.

These are the ones that exist within identification dreams. The characters in the story are also part of our becoming. What we project onto them becomes a kind of reduced version of our personal history.

They are found in dreams that compel us to receive life's lessons. They reveal our composure and our shortcomings, and force us to gain insight if we wish to live without too many problems. They reflect our lack of wisdom or, conversely, our wisdom.
The symbols of the myths [flash=200,200]http://[/flash]
They are the ones who invite us to meet our inner hero, to become aware of the prince who must awaken the princess, that is, to discover our capacity to love on the perfect planes. They propel us into the battle of life to make us vibrate with the legendary, with the fairy tale that has no other name than the possible inner discovery.

They place us on the path of the sublime, they determine what takes on a sacred dimension. They support and monitor our growth. Again, they must be conceived positively, without any blockage due to a puritanical education. They can inform us of neurotic sites caused by a misunderstanding of religion, by a distorted education. Usually, they intervene in our dreams to encourage us to draw from the depths of ourselves an immeasurable source, to pray, to ascend astrally. We dream of this especially during very important periods of growth in our existence.
Example: The Magician's Dream.

In our dreams, they carry the same meaning as in everyday language. They encourage the development of a sense of humor, but above all, they help us easily understand a message. They provide brief answers and sometimes serve as warnings.
