Dreaming of Nymphs
nymph, mermaid, sprite · mixed
Nymphs promise fulfilled desires and heady pleasures, but also disillusion and lapses.
What happens in the dream
- If you are young and see them bathing: much favour and pleasure, not always within the rules
- You see nymphs bathing in clear water: passionate desires fulfilled and enchanting festivities
- You play a nymph yourself: you are using your charms for selfish ends
- The nymphs are out of their element: disappointment with the world
How you felt
- Desire: the dream often reflects sensuality or a thirst for freedom
- Idealisation: it may show an attraction to a dream world far from reality
Ask yourself
- What do I want without daring to live it?
- Am I idealising someone or something?
