jumping

In the Language of Mind, jumping is a deliberate, committed surge of effort to move past a point where ordinary walking can no longer carry you. Read its form and function: to jump you push off solid ground and launch yourself up or across a gap — for a moment you leave the steady, known footing entirely. So when you jump in a dream, your subconscious is mirroring a place in your waking life where progress now demands a leap of will rather than another careful step: a choice to commit, rise to a new level, or clear an obstacle you cannot simply walk around. Movement upward especially echoes consciousness reaching toward a higher level of mind. Examine where in your life you are gathering yourself to take a chance you have been circling. Notice the variations: jumping across a gap and landing clean = a transition you are ready to make and will absorb; jumping and falling short, or jumping out of fear, = a leap attempted before the inner footing is built, or an aspect of self you are trying to escape rather than face. That is one symbol, read clean. What you jumped from, the ground you aimed for, the figure watching — each is still a sentence in the same message. Your subconscious speaks to you this way every night; CHITTA is where you learn to read the whole dream. Go within, or go without.
