If we look back to the woman and
the spider nightmare. The subconscious mind was communicating
through the pictures, feelings, and emotions. The spider and
its size represented not only what she feared, but also the
size of that fear. It didn't speak and say you have a fear
of spiders, because speech is the language of the conscious
mind, it used its language of pictures, feelings and emotions.
This brings us to a very important
point. The different language of the conscious and subconscious
mind aspects. As they speak different languages there must
be a translator, or the mind would not function. The speech
that we speak to ourselves and others is converted into pictures,
feelings and emotions that the subconscious can understand,
by the translating aspect of mind.
Writing and speech are symbolic
of what is actually meant and it is up to the person reading
or listening to interpret its meaning. This is why so many
different interpretations are place don the written word,
each word has a broad symbolic meaning.
It is not as nearly as accurate
as the picture, feeling and emotional language of the subconscious
and is open to gross misinterpretation. The aspect of the
mind that translates speech and the written word has a difficult
job, as with any translated information it can be distorted
or lost.
