I am not an expert on the matter but I would love to share some insights!
While studying astrology I realised that a lot of things signified by the planets in our chart are reflected in some way or the other in our life. Even our subconscious mind and the part where we dream and imagine things, can be studied in our horoscope. That means we are destined to experience our fears, joy, trauma, and pain in our human form.
While joy is a happy emotional state, pain can often cause inner suffering and anxiety. Such emotional disturbances cause disturbance in sleep as well. You may realise that when you are stressed about something in real life, you often get dreams that are stressful. It is a different thing that we all dream something unique that tells us about that particular emotion.
There is a girl who keeps dreaming about blocked toilets or occupied toilets 🚽. You may think its funny but it is a way things express in her life. She has her moon in the 8th house and Saturn aspecting it. She suffers through OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and is very particular about cleanliness. In real life also, unclean/ blocked/ unavailable washrooms bother her. So when she is in a situation where she feels stuck or emotionally overwhelmed, she dreams that she wants to use a toilet but is unable to find one that works or is clean!!
Now for those who don’t understand astrology will know that 8th house shows fears and phobias plus blockages and Saturn shows plumbing issues or blockages. Whenever there is some kind of emotional trouble in her life, these dreams show up and alert her.
Now some people have dreams where they see themselves naked in public and are embarrassed about the same. I feel introverted people with serious social anxiety have such dreams. These people are probably scared of being in such situations in real life as well. As in getting exposed and being humiliated in front of many people.
Again I am no expert!!! But I still feel that dreams are not always random. We always get hints about something going deep inside our subconscious mind that is eating us up.
Don’t you get dream of waking up late on an exam day! Or unable to finish the paper on time. These are also dreams showing performance stress of your real examination. But sometimes when we are piling up on something, or suppressing an emotion then also we see some form of dream that alerts us on the underlying problem.
In astrology, the emotional state of a person is governed by the water elements. Whenever in a person’s chart water sign is afflicted or watery planets like Moon go in the 4th, 8th, or 12th house, it shows that the native has some emotional trouble. Mars may show anger, or impulsiveness, Saturn may show negativity, loneliness, boredom, or stress piling up, Ketu may show insecurity and Rahu may show delusions. These emotions often pick elements from persons life and get manifested in some form or other.
And it may not be limited to just sleep. It can be seen in the types of movies and shows you like. Or the type of people you attract in life. Have you seen people who always go in a toxic relationship or people who will always seek submissive partner. You may have seen that people who are obsessed with horror movies often fear real people more. Or those who watch romantic shows don’t have much of real romance in their life.
Nature has a way of showing us things. Things that help us know better. We just need to see!!!
