| ice |
water
has been considered a symbol for emotion, so ice could
be considered a symbol for 'frozen emotion,' or emotion
that has been paralyzed by fear or guilt. (ackroyd)
Freud:
symbol of sexual frigidity. (ackroyd)
|
| ice
cream |
represents
enjoyment of the free flow of once-frozen emotion. (ackroyd)
|
| impostor |
who
the impostor is pretending to be is what you pretend
to be in real life. in other words, the impostor is
your self-image, what you portray to others. (ackroyd)
|
| impotence |
the
obvious reason for this dream would be that you're experiencing
sexual problems. going deeper, it may mean that there
is a problem with your sexual or reproductive systems
that you don't know about. aside from biological aspects,
dreaming about impotence could signal your fear of losing
power or failing at a task. some people experience these
dreams as they enter an unfamiliar situation (ie. dating
after a divorce). (pliskin)
|
| independence |
dreams
that occur in your early 20s often reflect the struggle
to become as independent as you hoped to be during your
teen years. you're likely to dream about your performance
at school or work. some young people suffer separation-anxiety
and their dreams reflect this by taking place at home.
characters in these dreams are usually out of focus,
and this is a sign of your adult identity not completely
emerging. (pliskin)
|
| inheritance |
receiving
an inheritance signifies the acquisition of parts of yourself
that make you feel empowered, but possibly at the expense
of someone else. (pliskin)
|
| insects |
if
you feel repulsed by insects during their appearance
in a dream, they may represent some other idea or attitude
that repulses you in real life. this dream may be telling
you to overcome that repulsion. (ackroyd)
if
it's a lone insect, it might be bringing you a message
from your inner self. your inner self appearing as such
an ugly creature is a reflection of contempt for your
inner self, and this is unwise. (ackroyd)
|
| invasion |
you
or some symbol of yourself (ie. house, land) being invaded
is a message that you're in danger of becoming possessed
by contents of the unconscious. the repressed elements
may eventually take over. (ackroyd)
|
| island |
as
the unconscious can be represented by water, an island
could be a symbol of the conscious ego and its relationship
to the unconscious. (ackroyd)
water
can also symbolize mother, so look at the relationship
between the island and the sea. if the sea is rough
and threatening to flood the island, you may have too
strong an attachment to your mother. (ackroyd)
