Rebirth / resurrection Dream Meanings

Dreaming Lens: Were you reborn in the dream? Was someone else? Was it a literal birth, or more figurative? Did your dream include images of resurrection? Was it religious in nature, or more fantasy-based?

Personal Focus: The repetition of this term and its Universal Landscape is not a typographical error. By its nature, this term is identical to its meaning. This concept is such a vibrant part of human thought; it can appear in dreams in its pure form—the notion of rebirth or resurrection itself. This can be an image of literal birth/rebirth in biological detail or in a more subjective form as in resurrection as mythological or metaphorical. Often the dream image of being reborn is experienced intuitively as an inner knowing rather than as an action or occurrence.

Rebirth implies that a death must first take place. It is crucial to investigate this side of the equation, whether your dream includes something being sacrificed or not. If that which is dying is clear in the dream, you can ruminate on what it brings up for you. If it is not clear in your dream who or what is dying, you may want to make exploring this a large part of your investigation. Rebirth implies that some previous way of being in the world has died away. This gives way to a new way of being that benefits from the new without discarding wisdom from the past.

When an image and its symbolic meaning are so similar, the Dreaming Lens becomes an even more important guide to a satisfactory interpretation. Consider the feelings and sensations in the dream and apply them to the concept of new beginnings.
