Dreams About Spirits and Deities: Part 1

The Underworld

In Zhou Gong's dream interpretations, dreams about the underworld symbolize despair and suggest a need to relieve psychological pressure. Sometimes they can be positive: they indicate that for your personality to become more complete, the old you "must die." To understand the meaning of the dream, consider what you experienced in the underworld. If you see light there, it's a good sign, indicating your conscious mind can discover your subconscious.

For older individuals, dreaming of the underworld may stem from concerns about death. After waking, they may worry about the dream, sometimes believing superstitiously that they truly visited the underworld. If an elderly person mentions such a dream, they should generally be comforted and reassured that it carries no bad meaning.
