Orphan

An 'Orphan' in a dream represents an unawareness of the cause or origin of a developing aspect of yourself. An orphan is a child without parents -- without a known source or creator. In the Universal Language of the Mind, parents represent the cause or origin of the aspects they create. An orphan, then, represents a quality within you that is developing but whose origin you do not understand. You have a quality growing within you that you cannot trace back to its source. You do not know where it came from, why it is developing, or what caused it. This lack of understanding about the cause creates a sense of disconnection -- the developing quality feels rootless and unsupported. When an orphan shows up in your dream, it is calling for you to investigate the origin of a developing quality within yourself. Where did this new way of being come from? What thought or experience initiated its development? Understanding the cause of what you are becoming gives you the power to direct it. Without that understanding, the developing quality remains unsupported -- like a child without parents. Trace the quality back to its root. Find the cause. Become the conscious parent of your own developing aspects.
