Dreaming Lens: Were you in an alternate universe in your dream? Did you have an understanding of where this alternate universe existed? Did you move back and forth between more than one set of realities? Was the experience comfortable or did it inspire fear?
Personal Focus: This is one of those enigmatic dream symbols where the universal meaning is literal. The idea that outside of our own existence there may be other planes of a simultaneous but separate reality has fascinated the imagination of men and women for centuries. Modern science and the opening up of space exploration have only fueled this passion for what lies beyond and beneath our world.
At the heart of this image, from a symbolic perspective, is our human ability to imagine worlds that are essentially the same as the one we inhabit, but at the same time so completely new and different that they have the possibility of containing anything we might desire. In other words, if this universe is a disappointment, an alternate universe might provide you with all that you need and expect, but also magically offer you something you covet.
The landscape of any dream is an alternate universe of sorts. If you have the sense that your dream is taking place in some other reality than the one you reside in, the first consideration will be to take in the theme and interpretation you assign to the entire dream as a whole. If the dream has a positive and uplifting feel to it, the alternate universe may simply be a function of the creativity and expansiveness of your unconscious self. However, there also may be an element of wish fulfillment or denial being expressed. Creating an alternative universe might be a simplistic and convenient way to escape the challenges present in the universe that you call home. [1]
