spine

In the Universal Language of Mind, the spine is the central axis of your structure of mind — the backbone of how you hold yourself upright in thought and purpose. Its form is the column that supports the whole body and houses the channel through which life-force travels between the head, your higher awareness, and the rest of you; its function is support and conduction. So the spine in a dream points to your core structure of conviction: the upright line of will, courage, and purpose you stand on. Examine where in your waking life your backbone is being tested. A curved or breaking spine shows a structure of thinking bent under pressure, or a purpose you have stopped standing for; a straight, strong spine shows your ideals and the way you carry them are in alignment. When the spine tingles or lights up, life-force is rising through the centers along it, asking for your attention. Your inner structure is always showing you exactly how much weight your current way of thinking can bear.
