Spirals Dream Meanings

The swirling powers of creation.

The essence of individuality (note the shape of DNA molecules).

Depending on its direction of movement, this can indicate a type of ascension into higher thought patterns, or a descent into self and introspection (see Sinking). Downward spirals can indicate a strong focus on the less evolved animal nature within.

Stationary spirals can be an alternative type of stair or circle dream.

Matters of love and caring. Sacred geometricians depict the heart chakra as a spiral flame.

The cycle of death and rebirth, in a literal or figurative sense. This is why many ancient sacred dances (see Dancing) had circular patterns.

Divinatory ability: The ancient Roman augurs carried a staff called a littus which was often capped with a spiral pattern, likely acting as a focus for the seer (see Rods, Sticks, Wand).
