Dreaming of Stranger
In short
What does dreaming of Stranger mean?
Dreaming of a stranger often signals an encounter with an unrecognised part of oneself — the Shadow or the Anima/Animus projected onto an unknown figure. It is the uncanny double, Freud's Unheimliche — the other within that has not yet been integrated. In the Abrahamic traditions, the stranger may be an angel in disguise: a fateful encounter bearing a message.
Jungian interpretation
The Shadow or the Anima/Animus in unrecognised form. An aspect of the self projected onto an unknown figure.
Freudian interpretation
The uncanny double (das Unheimliche). The other within the self that goes unrecognised.
Esoteric meaning
The Fool (0) is the eternal stranger. Linked to Uranus. The angel disguised as a human in the Abrahamic traditions.
