The sudden spread of your identity through the act of going viral suggests a movement where the boundaries of your private self are dissolving into a collective gaze. You are navigating a gap between who you are in the dark and the version of you that is being thrown into the street for everyone to witness. This dream may point to a time when the parts of you that you usually keep for yourself are being pulled into a wide, bright space where you no longer hold the reins of your own image.
This expansion of your name or your actions can act as a mirror that shows you how much of your essence is currently being offered up for public consumption. When the self is scattered so widely, there is a risk that the original substance is lost in the noise of the transmission. The weight of being seen by many can feel like a loss of the sanctuary that your own privacy provides. Your strength lies in the capacity to hold your center even as the echoes of your name travel far beyond your reach.
As I was looking at some photos of an old couch on my cell phone, a picture showed up on social media. It was an advertisement for assisted fertility. I thought my husband had sent it to me on my Facebook page so I was upset that he had made it public. But then I realized I was looking at my ex’s profile and the photo was on his Facebook page not mine.
Dear Reader,
Your dream is a metaphor for hurts, desires and encouragement. This dream signals you need to work on healing old wounds and hurts. Your desire to escape from reality and retreat into some fantasy world. You are offering your support and encouragement for someone.
