Dream Symbol · Universal Language of Mind
Aspect committed to the Self
A 'Wife' in a dream represents the subconscious mind in committed partnership with the conscious mind. In the Universal Language of the Mind, females represent the subconscious
mind -- the receptive, intuitive, inner aspect of consciousness. A wife is a female who has entered into a formal, lifelong commitment with a male (the conscious mind). This reflects the deepest possible partnership between your inner and outer selves -- a devoted, permanent union in which both parties have vowed to work together. The subconscious mind as wife is a powerful image. She is the one who receives your seed thoughts and grows them into manifestation. She is the one who stores your wisdom and makes it available to you through intuition. She is the one who communicates with you every night through your dreams. She is the one who manages the inner household -- regulating your body, processing your emotions, protecting your stored understandings. When she is honored, nurtured, and treated as an equal partner, she supports everything you do with extraordinary power. When she is neglected, disrespected, or ignored, the entire inner household suffers. Pay attention to what the wife is doing in the dream and the quality of the relationship. Is she happy and engaged, reflecting a subconscious mind that is receptive, productive, and in harmony with your conscious intentions? Is she angry or distant, indicating that you have been neglecting your inner life or sending contradictory messages to your subconscious? Is she trying to tell you something you are not hearing, reflecting intuitive messages you have been ignoring? Is she working alongside you, reflecting a cooperative, productive inner partnership? When a wife shows up in your dream, it is reflecting the quality of the most intimate relationship in your consciousness -- the marriage between your conscious and subconscious minds. How are you treating your inner partner? Are you listening to her messages through your dreams? Are you honoring her wisdom through your intuition? Are you sending her clear, consistent desires through your visualization? Or have you been a neglectful partner -- focused entirely on the outer world while ignoring the inner one? Nurture this marriage. The quality of the partnership between your conscious and subconscious minds determines the quality of absolutely everything you create.
