Quadrille: 1) PSYCHOLOGY: A seductively joyous invitation to join the natural flow, the Tao, the dance of life. This invitation is extended by a woman's Animus nature or a man's Anima nature, the respective soul- guides who lead the dreamer toward the state of self-realization and Oneness. Quagmire: 1) PSYCHOLOGY: The Ego's sensation of being pulled down by the swampy terrors waiting in the Unconscious. Queen: 1) PSYCHOLOGY: Usually a powerful Mother symbol blended with projections from your own psyche. Alice's Queen of Hearts, for instance, was a classic mix of the Devouring Mother archetype with a heavy dose of the judgmental Super-ego. Copyright 1996 Roger Norton Consulting. All rights reserved.
