Demon

  • Shadow Self: Demons often represent repressed aspects of our psyche – negative emotions, desires, or destructive tendencies that we struggle to acknowledge.
  • Internal Conflict: They can symbolize inner turmoil, guilt, self-destructive behaviors, or an ongoing struggle between your higher and lower impulses.
  • External Threats: Demons may represent perceived dangers, fears, or toxic influences in your waking life.
  • Addiction and Temptation: They can symbolize a struggle with addiction, harmful behaviors, or temptations that you find difficult to resist.
  • Warning: In some cases, demons may serve as a warning about potential danger or self-sabotaging patterns that need to be addressed.

Specific considerations

  • Effort of Flight: Soaring effortlessly signifies a feeling of being in complete control and having a strong sense of self-confidence. You might be experiencing a period of personal growth or achieving success in your waking life. Conversely, struggling to fly or needing external help to stay aloft could indicate a lack of control or feeling overwhelmed by current circumstances.

Waking life

  • Are you feeling stuck in a rut and longing for more freedom or independence in your life? Perhaps you’re in a job you dislike or a relationship that feels stifling.
