Hi Chris I am back again, as promised,
The dream begins with a knowing that there is a history here. This is your time tag, letting you know that the dream is dealing with something within you that has its roots in the past. Your mention of a malicious fairy is also another pointer in the direction of childhood experiences and what you learned from them about yourself, your world, and others. This learning forms our core beliefs which can live on within us at the subconscious level, until we meet them in our dreams and thus get the opportunity to change them if they are not to our liking.
The bottom line seems to be (at the end of your dream) “I could see both with my eyes and the childs”. From this, I understand that you are getting a chance to look back at your childhood perceptions. And for good reason I believe. It may well be that the malicious fairy is up to his or her underhanded ways in your life now.
I always like to take the view that everything in the dream is the creation of my psyche. I find this is a most empowering stance because it enables me to deal with it myself. For example, if I created it, then I can also deconstruct it! Likewise if I created my perceptions, beliefs, attitudes etc. I can also transform them – once I identify them and their effects on my life.
If you choose to take this view, you will see the malicious fairy as a part of you, that hurts you and frightens you – that perhaps sabotages you at times. Go gently with yourself on this one Chris because within you is that little baby, the darling little lamb – so beautiful and precious, and vulnerable.
Hope is not gone is it, or the baby would not have had that pleading look, where there is a plea there is hope. Your most tender vulnerable part is needing your love, gentleness, nurturing and protection.
You might find it helpful to do an expansion on the malicious fairy by writing down whatever thoughts and feelings come up as you think of him/her.
Self-question too e.g. What does the malicious fairy want? What does it hope to achieve by being cruel to the baby? Is it angry? Why? And so on.
Then, see if you can identify where the malicious fairy has been creating mischief in your life now.
Many years ago I was taking care of a 7 year old boy who had been rejected by his mother. He told me that he was a bad Angel. I felt so sad inside to hear that because he was so beautiful and precious. Your dream and the malicious fairy reminded me so much of this little chap who, at the ripe old age of 7, had formed such a negative opinion of himself.
I met him again recently. He is 18yrs old, and finally free of a very conflictual family life; free to create the life he would wish for himself. However, I have observed that his bad Angel still lives in him, creating self-hurt, low self-esteem and inner conflict.
How wonderful it is then to get the gift of such a dream which properly understood and worked with can liberate you from the power of malicious fairies forever.
Chris, all of the foregoing is but one interpretation of your dream. Only you know what it can really mean for you. And there are, for sure, alternative interpretations.
For example, babies can represent our inner baby as in a creative project we would like to bring into being. The malicious fairy then could be the unknown force that is wounding or sabotaging this process.
Wishing you enlightenment and liberation on your journey Chris. |
