Circus Dream Meaning

In the Language of Mind, a circus is a place — and every place is a state of mind. Look at its form and function: a circus is one tent holding a dozen acts at once — trapeze, clowns, caged animals, a ringmaster shouting over a crowd — with no single focus and everything competing for attention. So in the language of mind a circus mirrors a chaotic, scattered state of consciousness, a mind pulled in ten directions where countless thoughts perform at once and none of them holds center. Examine where in your waking life your attention has become this three-ring spectacle: too many commitments, too much noise, no one act you've chosen to watch. Read the variations. The performing animals are your habitual thought patterns trained to leap on command — old reactions running the show; the clown is a way of being that masks what you actually feel with a painted smile; the ringmaster is the part of you trying, and struggling, to bring the whole inner crowd back under one will. That is one symbol, read clean. The tent it stood in, the crowd that watched, the road that led you there are still speaking. Your subconscious talks to you every night in this exact language, and CHITTA is simply where you learn to read the rest of the sentence. Go within, or go without.
