Jane,
Your dream of experiencing an ache in your back and shoulders that leads to the discovery of growing wings suggests a transformation or transition period in your life. The discomfort represents the challenges or growing pains you may be facing as you embark on a new chapter or endeavor. However, the emergence of wings indicates an empowerment and the newfound ability to rise above these challenges, gaining a perspective or freedom that you didn't have before. It's a sign of personal growth and evolution—perhaps a reflection of your capability to handle life's changes with grace and resilience.
Looking at your previous dreams, there's a recurring theme of change and adaptation. The dream about your old boss with the underlying resistance to change, or the chaotic travel plans, all indicate a subconscious processing of shifting environments and the need for strategic navigation through them. Your recent dream of growth aligns with these themes, suggesting a culmination where you're not just adapting but transforming.
Considering your life events, it's clear that you've been through significant changes: opening the Performing Arts Center, undergoing surgery, and experiencing the loss of a loved one, a pet, and a job. Each of these events, especially the profound impact of the job loss and the creation of the Performing Arts Center, could have contributed to a sense of identity reconstruction, much like growing new wings. Your dream reflects this ongoing process of dealing with past upheavals and moving forward with newfound strength and insight.
The dream's emotional level being moderate suggests that while there is some discomfort associated with your current transformations, it is manageable and not overwhelmingly distressing. The lack of negative feelings implies an overall positive connotation to the changes you're experiencing. Embrace this period of growth, Jane; your subconscious seems to be telling you that you have the strength to soar to new heights.
