HARASS / HARASSMENT

Spiritual Meaning:
A sense of harassment from a spiritual perspective suggests some kind of compulsion. The drive will come from external sources rather than internal.

Psychological / Emotional Perspective:
When pressure is put on us emotionally, the feeling may be exaggerated in dreams to a sense of harassment, behaviour which is offensive to us. We may dream of stalkers or being hunted.

Everyday Material Aspects:
Stress is one of the biggest disturbers of dreams and sleep. It can translate into dreams of harassment, for instance being worried or jumped on by a dog. Once the cause is identified it can be dealt with by confronting the dog image either in the dream or in a waking visualization.

Gender / Specific Meanings:
To be harassed in a dream by the opposite sex suggests that a man must pay attention to his softer side and a woman to her more assertive aspects. By a figure of the same sex suggests that a better balance needs to be established between the Archetypes. The dream character will usually indicate what needs attention.
