Naked: 1) PSYCHOLOGY: Facing the world without the insulation of your Persona, the image you have built as a secure facade, presented to others as the real you. To the dreaming Ego, the shedding of the Persona would make one as vulnerable as standing naked before others. Neck: 1) PSYCHOLOGY: Symbolic connection between the head and the heart, intellect and emotion, consciousness and the Unconscious. Needle: 1) PSYCHOLOGY: Acute but temporary pain necessary to the healing of a psychic wound. Nemesis: 1) PSYCHOLOGY: Even if represented by a person known to you in real life, this dream enemy is actually a projection of a rejected part of your own psyche. Is your conscious-world enemy also the product of projection? Netherworld: 1) PSYCHOLOGY: The Ego's dread of the bottomless depths of the Unconscious. Night: 1) PSYCHOLOGY: The realm of the Unconscious, especially in dreams involving your Shadow, the Alter-Ego who personifies all traits rejected and repressed by the Ego. Nine: 1) PSYCHOLOGY: Fruitfulness, fertility; the number of generation (3) multiplied by itself; nine months from conception to birth; new beginning within completion. Nose: 1) PSYCHOLOGY: The human body's probe and sensor -- of little use in modern times, but heavily-used in earlier times to diagnose illness, determine quality, locate hunted quarry, predict weather and more. A dream emphasis on the nose may be a nudge from the Unconscious to trust your senses and rely on your instincts in a given situation. Nunnery: 1) PSYCHOLOGY: Represents your spiritual Self, areas that lie beyond the conscious mind and offer quietude. Nuts: 1) PSYCHOLOGY: Symbol of the Self, with the eternal seed of rebirth within the outer (mortal, conscious) shell. Copyright 1996 Roger Norton Consulting. All rights reserved.
