Thread: Split Personality

I noticed an interesting thing this morning after I woke up and wrote in my dream diary. It hasn't happened a lot, but I have had several dreams over the past few years where there are two of myself, and I am both. It sounds a bit paradoxical, I know, so I'm going to make this simpler by using a metaphor that I often dream about a yin and yang form of myself, except both are female. We look alike, but one of me aligns more with 'good' and the other more with 'evil'. For example, one will be shy, chaste, modest, etc; and the other will be outgoing, sexual and egotistic. A common theme of these dreams is that the 'evil' version of myself is terrorising the 'good' half, though these dreams aren't nightmares-I never wake up feeling afraid.

So, I'm wondering, do any of you have dreams like this?

I have a feeling that these dreams are a subconscious hint to myself that I need to 'let go' a bit. I identify a lot with the 'good' character, so much so that it's almost an absolute. I think these dreams are a hint that I need to engage my wild side more, but also not let it take over.

Any other interpretations anybody would like to share?

Also, to anyone who knows a lot about the 'yin and yang' topic, it was merely a descriptive aid, and I am not implying it in a literal sense.
