Yeti
- The Unconscious and Primal: Yetis are beings of myth, lurking in the remote wilderness. They represent the hidden, primal, and potentially dangerous aspects of our own psyches.
- Unresolved Fears: The fearsome image of the yeti can symbolize deep-rooted anxieties, repressed emotions, or a shadow aspect of yourself that you fear confronting.
- Isolation and Loneliness: The yeti’s solitary existence in icy regions might mirror feelings of isolation, social withdrawal, or a fear of connecting intimately with others.
- Strength and Resilience: Yetis are also known for their incredible resilience and ability to survive in harsh conditions. They could represent untapped strength or the will to overcome challenges.
Specific considerations

- Type of Landscape: A snowy, mountainous environment emphasizes isolation and challenging conditions, while a different setting could change the meaning entirely.
- Emotions: How did you feel upon encountering the yeti? Fear, curiosity, or even fascination will guide your interpretation.
