He associates seven archetypes with dreams; the persona, the shadow, the anima, the divine child, the wise old person, the great mother, and lastly the trickster. Each of these archetypes represent something, but the one that is most prominent in my dream is the shadow. The shadow in my dream is the gigantic marble. The marble is the rejected and repressed aspects of myself. It is the part of myself that I do not want the world to see because it is ugly or unappealing. It symbolizes weakness, fear, or anger. The marble forced me to confront things that I don't want to see or hear. Apparently I must learn to accept the shadow because it is for my own good. The interpretation that was most valid for me was Jung’s Archetypes. This is so because the marble/shadow is something that I am trying to run away from. I have been avoiding something my whole life and that is why the nightmare will not go away. I have discovered that if I confront this demon, the dream will stop happening. I truly believe that our dreams are trying to tell us something and we should not avoid them. In conclusion, dreaming is something that should be explored deeper and I will definitely be keeping a dream journal next to my bed
