(1) Any dream image that, like Cinderella, depicts a spumed, ill-treated and subjugated being may be taken as a symbol of some part of yourself that you - the conscious ego - have repressed and / or denied adequate expression. (For repression)(2) It may be - if you are male - an anima figure (for anıma, see Brother / Sister sections (4)-(6)), but in its neglected aspect, indicating that you need to value the feminine side of your nature more highly and allow it more expression - more ‘say5 - in your life.
(3) If the Cinderella figure is in a cellar, this should be seen as a symbol of the unconscious. Clearly the message here is to get in touch with the unconscious and lift its neglected contents into the light of consciousness with a view to integrating them into your conscious life, letting them add their special energies and enrichments to your enterprises and to your personality.
