Family Dream Meaning

In the Language of Mind, your family is not the people you live with — it is the cluster of qualities within you that you know best. Look at the form and function: a family is the group you are most familiar with, the faces you'd recognize anywhere; so in the language of mind they mirror the aspects of yourself you are most familiar and most at ease with — the very traits you'd name if someone asked you to describe your own personality. When family fills a dream, your subconscious is working with the parts of you that are already known, already integrated, the home-ground of who you are. So examine where in your waking life these well-worn qualities are showing up, and what they're doing in the scene — because their actions show you how a familiar part of you is operating right now. Read the variations closely: a male family member is that familiar quality held in the conscious, aggressive, outwardly-chosen mind, while a female family member is the same kind of quality arising as natural, intuitive, subconscious tendency — and any parent or grandparent steps past mere familiarity into the superconscious, the inner teacher. Strangers in that same house would be the opposite: aspects of you not yet known. That is one symbol read clean — but the home it gathered in, the table it sat around, the figure who arrived late are all still speaking. Your subconscious talks to you every night in this exact language; CHITTA is simply where you learn to read the rest of the sentence. Go within, or go without.
