Mummy

Vision: Looking at a mummy: a long-forgotten event from the past is coming up again.

Depth Psychology: You need to change some of your personal habits, bringing them more in line with your new life. But it seems you would rather “preserve” (mummify) them—which will make life more difficult for you or lead to conflicts with others. Facc the changes in your life head-on, and do it as soon as possible.

Based on the environment of modern life, the appearance of a mummy could seem terrifying, however, the interpretation of this dream is a little more complex. The unconscious brings back aspects of remote past that had been forgotten but, perhaps, were not entirely resolved at the time. Old feelings of guilt, fears, insecurities, and accusations against people who have been with you throughout life may come to light.

Dreams of a mummy signify a fear of change, your feelings about death., and your attachments to old ways of being. You are attempting to preserve dead, unworkable, dysfunctional aspects of yourself out of habit or a lack of faith that there is something better out there for you.
