Chakras Dream Meaning

In modern New Age thought, there is an understanding of energy as it relates to the body that connects to certain centers known as chakras. Each of these body vortexes can be understood symbolically based on the area of the body they relate to and the function of that area. There are seven of these energy centers that correlate with the physical body.

The first energy center is the root chakra, located at the base of the spine. This connects to security, groundedness, and the sense that all your needs are met.

The second chakra includes the sacrum and genitals and is where primal creativity is expressed.

The third chakra is in the belly and is where instincts and gut feelings are located.

The fourth chakra is the center of the entire structure and is the home of the heart.

The fifth chakra is located at the throat and is where communication occurs. Intuition is located in an area at the forehead known as the third eye, which is the sixth chakra.

The crown of the head is the home of the seventh chakra and is most connected to the higher self and spiritual awareness.

If your dream features any imagery that highlights one of these areas on the physical body, you can draw your interpretation from the meaning associated with the chakra that is being highlighted.

It is important to note that each of these chakras has a color that is associated with it.

The order of the chakras corresponds to the order of the colors as they appear when white light is refracted into its separate vibrations. From one to seven, that order is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. For more distinctions in your interpretations, see each of these individual colors.
