Daughter

In the Language of Mind a daughter is never the literal girl you raised or were born into a family with — she is a young, still-developing aspect of your own subconscious mind. Look at the form and function: a daughter is a female, and female figures embody the receptive, intuitive side of you, the qualities that arise naturally rather than ones you forced into being; and she is a child, which means immature, growing, not yet fully formed. Put those together and the language is exact — a quality of soul that is being nurtured in you right now, tender and unfinished, asking to be raised to maturity. Examine where in your waking life some new way of being — a gentler intuition, a receptivity, a creative tendency — is just beginning to take root in you, depending on your care to grow.

Read the variations the way a parent reads a child's face. A daughter thriving and happy = that inner quality is being well-fed and maturing as it should; a daughter in danger, sick, or lost = a developing part of you is being neglected or left unprotected, calling you to tend it before it withers. A newborn daughter is a quality only just conceived; a daughter grown suddenly older shows you how far it has already matured while you weren't watching. That is one figure, read clean — but the dream around her is still speaking: the house she lived in is the condition of your mind, the rooms its areas of awareness. Your subconscious is raising this quality in you every night and naming it plainly; CHITTA is simply where you learn to read the rest of what it is saying. Go within, or go without.
