Chaos

Just as, according to mythology, the cosmos was created out of chaos, so we all, in a sense, have to create ourselves out of chaos - the unordered or disordered mass of instincts, emotions, feelings and ideas that constitute the raw materials from which we may consciously shape ourselves. This is the viewpoint from which you should understand the chaos in your dream: a cluttered, untidy room; a junk-shop with miscellaneous articles piled up higgledy-piggledy; or whatever.

NB Putting yourself in order does not necessarilv mean getting rid of the junk. There are two possibilities here. Your dream may be telling you that there is a lot of rubbish that you need to get rid of: negative attitudes and habits, destructive guilt-feelings, or whatever. Alternatively, the “junk” may be your hidden potential; so clean it up and use it. You just have to decide what role each part of your psyche is to play in your life.

Before the universe began it was thought there existed a disordered state of unformed matter and infinite space. Spiritually therefore in dreams chaos is a representation of source and the beginning of all things. There is, though, an underlying pattern, which may not be immediately apparent.
