Fasting

'Fasting' in a dream represents relying upon and focusing upon the understandings you have already built within yourself. In the physical world, fasting is the deliberate choice to stop consuming food for a period of time. The body then turns to its stored reserves for energy and nourishment. In the Universal Language of the Mind, food represents knowledge. Fasting, then, represents a period where you stop taking in new information and instead draw upon the storehouse of wisdom already within your subconscious mind. This is not a symbol of deprivation -- it is a symbol of inner abundance. Your subconscious mind is your storehouse of wisdom, containing every understanding you have ever built across all of your lifetimes. When you fast, you are trusting that what you already have within you is sufficient. You do not need to consume more from the outside. The answers are already inside. When fasting shows up in your dream, it is calling for you to stop looking outside yourself for answers and instead turn inward. You already possess the understanding you need. Practice meditation and contemplation to access the storehouse of wisdom within your subconscious mind. Trust your intuition -- it is the voice of your accumulated wisdom speaking to you. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is stop consuming and start digesting what you already have.
