Native American

The sun dance amongst the plains native americans is perceived as a replay of the original creation. Their religion is shamanic and as more people become aware of their culture and practices, dreams will reflect the richness of their beliefs and their closeness to nature. Ceremonies such as the sweat lodge give rise to much imagery.

Native Americans have been romanticized to the point where they symbolize certain ideals, from attunement with the natural world to stoicism in the face of the inevitable to spiritual wisdom. Alternatively, they can represent our “savage” desires. Any of these meanings might be expressed by dreams of native tribal people.

In the past, adventurous and immature, fleeing from reality and the world. This symbol, in a man s dream, is similar to the Hero. Today we interpret this image in terms of wholeness: we all live in one world and all of us are dependent, collectively, on Mother Earth.
