Dreaming of a globe : what can this symbol evoke?
A sphere is the most perfect form there is, and the only one that can never be seen entire : whatever your position, half of it is hidden from you. Dreaming of a globe has no single meaning : it depends on what you could see of it, and on what stayed behind.
A half always hidden
One can go round a cube and know it entirely ; a sphere, never. Circling serves nothing — the face appearing replaces the one disappearing, and the total is never given. It is a perfection one cannot take in.
Dreams often use this figure for what one understands well and never completely. A person known for thirty years, a situation one masters and one side of which always escapes, a subject studied with a part invisible from where one stands.
The question it poses is useful : what do you believe you have gone all round? Those who dream of spheres often stand before something they thought they knew.
The world held in a hand
European sovereigns had themselves depicted holding a globe topped by a cross : the world in the hand, reduced to a portable object. The image states power, and it states the reduction that power presupposes.
Dreams often use this dimension for a view so general it has ceased to be concrete. Understanding a whole situation while touching none of it, deciding at the scale of a country without knowing anyone, holding in one hand what contains millions of lives.
What to remember is the object's size. A globe one holds speaks of power and its abstraction ; an immense globe before which one stands speaks of the opposite — and the second variant is more frequent than the first.
What the sphere shows changes the reading
- A visible face and a hidden face — what you know well and never entirely.
- Circling without ever seeing it all — effort that does not give what it promised.
- A globe held in the hand — a real power and the reduction it presupposes.
- An immense sphere before you — the opposite : what contains you and which you do not command.
- A globe turning by itself — a movement you witness without taking part.
- A perfectly smooth surface — a form without hold, on which nothing catches.
A psychological reading, not a ready-made box
Analytical psychology places the sphere among figures of the Self, like the circle and the mandala, noting a peculiarity : totality there is real and inaccessible to sight, which fairly describes a consciousness's relation to what exceeds it. One always sees a part, never the whole. Other readings retain the sovereigns' globe and the reduction implied in holding a world in one hand.
