Dreaming of Fear
In short
What does dreaming of Fear mean?
Dreaming of fear means you are approaching an initiatory threshold — something in your unconscious is asking to be faced. Fear is a guardian: it protects the ego from the return of the repressed, yet it also invites the courage to cross the threshold. The Moon (XVIII) presides over the terrors of the night, and the initiatory path always begins with this first guardian.
Jungian interpretation
Fear guards the threshold of the unconscious. To face one's fear is to cross the threshold of initiation.
Freudian interpretation
Signal anxiety — fear protects the ego from the return of the repressed.
Esoteric meaning
The Moon (XVIII) — the terrors of the night. Fear is the first guardian encountered on the initiatory path.
