Perhaps you have started a new job and feel the odd one out.A landmark report from U.S. Sometimes in dreams, aliens suggest evil forces, but more often than not they suggest that you feel different or set apart in some way from others. Are you behaving in ways that are alien to you, for example? Aliens are something humans have never encountered, so the dream is urging you to prepare for the unexpected. Assuming you were not abducted during the night, dreaming of aliens may also indicate dealing with something unfamiliar in yourself. Others suggest that UFOs represent an aspect of yourself that you are afraid to believe in.Īliens in dreams tend to suggest that something unknown or frightening in waking life needs to be faced. Jung claimed that UFOs were an archetype that could herald a great shift in human history, since they were an indication that something important was changing in the universal consciousness. UFOs reported in waking and dreaming life were therefore fantasies projected by the modern psyche’s need for meaning and striving for wholeness. The round shape of most UFOs was significant because circles are mandalas. In his patients, Jung discovered that the mandala emerged from the unconscious as a sign of the urge towards a new wholeness. In A Modern Myth of Things in the Sky (1958), Jung showed that his theories about archetypes explained much of this phenomenon. The Element EncyclopediaĪccording to Jungians our current interest in UFOs (unidentified flying objects) suggests a need for wholeness. A dream about alien abduction is generally considered to be nightmare if the alien is benign, however, you may respond like an overawed child to an idolized parent in your dream. In some cases, the alien may symbolize a meeting with an aspect of yourself that has great potential. It may also represent something new and not previously experienced. If an alien appears in your dream, this suggests feelings of being an outsider in a group or society. A UFO dream may often come before significant life changes you should consider what changes are occurring in the way you relate to people and events. Such a dream also suggests that a new area of experience, or a new way of experiencing yourself, is emerging. As the awareness of the infinity of possible person choices can be an overwhelming experience, your dreaming mind may express it as alien contact, UFO or an experience of extremely bright light. A Dictionary of Dream Symbolsĭreams of UFOs suggest personal growth. It may be that your alter-ego has something of value to offer vou, if only you will be courteous and hospitable to this hitherto neglected part of voursclf.
The alien may not be an adversary at all, but a helper. If you learn to love yourself - the whole of yourself, all vour components - vou will have no internal enemies. There is no part of vour psyche that will harm vou so long as it is not neglected or repressed. Getting acquainted with the ‘enemy’, however, will result in making the (potential or actual) enemy a friend. (3) What is ‘alien’ in the sense of‘unfamiliar often carries emotional overtones of‘alien’ in the sense of ‘enemy5.
Of course, the same could apply even if the country was one you had never been to, so long as that country had particular associations for vou. If the foreign country in the dream is one vou have visited in real life, the significance of its appearance in your dream may lie in what you associate with that country or what feelings you have about it. No matter how advanced you are in self-exploration, if you are still exploring you are still entering foreign territory (but see also Travel). (2) Journeying to or in a foreign country may represent an inner journey, an exploration of the unconscious, the not yet discovered or integrated realm of vour being. The foreigner may symbolize the whole of your unconscious psyche, rather than a particular part of it. The first step, of course, is to identify the ‘alien’: what part of you is it that has been neglected and is now courting your attention? You will need to get acquainted with that ‘foreign’ part of yourself if you are to realize a happiness or satisfaction that has so far eluded you. (1) A person of foreign appearance or encountered in a foreign land may represent some part of the psyche which is unfamiliar to you.
