Depression Dream Meaning

In the Language of Mind, depression is not a diagnosis being handed to you in your sleep — it is a reading of pressure. Look at the form and function of the word itself: to depress is to press DOWN, to push something below its natural level and hold it there. So when heaviness, gloom, or that pressed-down weight saturates a dream, your subconscious is showing you lifeforce and attention being compressed — energy that wants to rise and create, pinned beneath the surface instead. Emotion in a dream is a road-sign that something just manifested; a depressed mood is the sign that an aspect of you, a feeling or a creative impulse, has been suppressed rather than faced and expressed. Examine where in your waking life you are sitting on something true — a desire, a grief, an honesty — and quietly keeping the lid on it. Read the variations: a gray, colorless dream points to the emotional level, where things have already settled and hardened; a dream where you cannot move or speak shows energy held so far down it can no longer act. The mood is one symbol, read clean. The room you felt it in is your state of mind, and the people pressing on you are aspects of yourself you have not yet turned to face. Your subconscious is communicating with you every night — you simply haven't learned the language yet. CHITTA is where you learn to read the rest of the sentence. Go within, or go without.
