MANURE

If we do not manage to understand what has happened to us and make use of it as part of our growth proccss, we can often find that those experiences remain within our subconscious and cause difficulty later on. These bad experiences may appear as manure within a dream and alert us to the fact that we should be breaking down our problems and making positive use of them.

2- Manure can represent something which is disintegrating in our lives.

To be aware for instance, of a pile of manure in an inappropriate position would indicate that we have something in our lives which will have to disintegrate, to change form before it can be used properly.

3- Manure can be seen also as the prelude to spiritual breakdown. This docs not have to be a negative thing as a rebuilding process is often what is required to enable us to find solutions to current problems.

The plant can transform manure into living leaves and petals. Our identity feeds on experience and information, some of which may appear uninviting, pain­ful or unwholesome. In fact our experience may be all of these, and be depicted in dreams as manure, and if not put to our roots—our process of becoming aware of things in an intensely felt manner which links feelings with intellectual insight—remain a disintegrating influence. Learning pro­cesses which pile intellectual information on children or adults without helping them to allow their deep feeling re­sponses, are piling manure on the psyche while cutting off its roots. Personal disintegration is the result.

The bigger the manure pile, the greater your wealth. Spreading manure: pending actions will have great results. Stepping in a manure pile means good luck. Take advandage of the opportunities that are coming your way. Toiling in manure: success and wealth through hard work.
