Female iconaspect of subconscious mind

A 'Female' in a dream represents an aspect of the subconscious mind. In the Universal Language of the Mind, males represent the conscious mind and females represent the subconscious mind. The conscious mind is aggressive -- it reaches outward into the physical world to create experiences. The subconscious mind is receptive -- it receives the experiences of the conscious mind, stores the understandings built from them, and manifests the desires that have been planted within it. When a female figure appears in your dream, she represents a quality of your subconscious mind -- the receptive, intuitive, inner aspect of your consciousness. This is true regardless of the dreamer's gender. Every person possesses both a conscious mind (masculine) and a subconscious mind (feminine).

Pay attention to the age and behavior of the female. Is she an adult, reflecting a fully developed subconscious quality? Is she a child or teenager, indicating a developing subconscious aspect? Is she someone you know, representing a familiar quality? Is she a stranger, reflecting an unfamiliar quality? What is she doing? Her actions in the dream reveal how this aspect of your subconscious mind is currently operating. When a female shows up in your dream, identify the quality she represents and examine how your subconscious mind is operating in that area. Is it receptive and productive, or is it neglected and unresponsive? Your subconscious mind is your greatest ally in creation -- learn to work with it consciously and intentionally.
