    OH! This is interesting!

    I'm back on college again and my course right now is psychology.

    The reason why dreams is associated such as reflections of a personality or emotion, issue in life, or desire (hidden or not). Is because mostly our dreams is the things we buried in our unconsciousness. Things that we repress cause it brings unpleasant feelings to us, or desire that is may or may not be attainable. We tend to forget this thoughts that's why its just goes out in our dreams uncontrollable. Well that's how psychology explain it.

    However I don't under estimate the power of dreams, some cases that dreams can be precognitive. I think for a reason it can be a warning although it is not really proven. A lot of things in this world is still unexplainable. One of the things that is really controversial about dreams is not by being its warning but experiencing de javu or things we dream of and that certain event will be remembered once it is encounter.

    But I'm gonna try to interpret your dream, First I think that you have a great fear of being alone. Well who want to be alone? no one but I think your fear of it most than other person. Well most of time shadow is attributed as negative, coz its dark, and scary. However shadow is one of the thing that is very inseparable to us. But the only thing your shadow will disappear is when your in the dark. I guest this is the part that proof that you really fear to be alone, it may be conscious or unconscious. i also think that you have this great envy for others, you think that you lack something that they have it may be material possession, affiliation, affection, recognition or etc... I can't tell coz you don't give much info. However I think that people seem to impress co'z you always tend to convinced everybody that your fine, your OK even though you are emotionally disturb. I think it is associated with the need for the recognition that your really wanted. But one of the major thing that I can see in this dream is IDENTITY crisis or Role confusion. Like are you adopted? who's your bio parents? or are you a gay? or what do you really want to be? Another thing is that all of us have death instinct, there maybe some point in your life that you want to end your existence due to the things that really bothering you.

    However I am not yet professional and I don't promise 100% accuracy, well even professionals don't promise 100% accuracy. I guest my interpretation is only or maybe 0-20% accurate. But I hope that some info helps especially the idea about dreams from our unconsciousness.

    Dear Hugh

    Your dream is mostly accociated with feelings or emotions for that matter. Having no shadow really means: Feeling of insecurity, Lost and Fear of lonliness.

    It can also be interpreted as someone who has lost a vission in life or a dream. It is not good to lose that which is naturally part of your existence as a person.

    People really dont care because they are busy too thinking of themselves and what they will say or do next. Just like you were too busy figuring out what was wrong with you. So do not worry about what others are evaluating you.

    Just get rid of all negativity you do not deserve it. You do not need to do look around for your shadow it probably shifted under your feet. LOL!

    in this dream of yours, you wanted to focus on yourself , to be more aware of what makes you different.by stepping outside the box .

    You are trying to figure out who you are in all this, just on a feeling level that is.

    You had this dream to ask who am l , what is my place here?
