Generally speaking, when we dream about being rescued by historical or mythical heroes or perhaps more current heroes within our conscious mind (famous movie stars, political figures) it can be a signal from our unconscious mind that our ego is in need of strength or bolstering during some difficult or challenging life events. In other words, it can mean that our conscious mind is calling out for assistance in accomplishing some task or act, that it cannot achieve unaided or without drawing on the sources of strength that lie outside our immediate reach. The resources to successfully achieve the task or solve the problem may often lie within self, or it may be that we need to enlist the help of God or others. The point is that it’s important to listen or pay attention to the dream content being offered by the unconscious mind and determine what areas in our life may need assistance. When I’m coaching others on interpreting their dreams, I find it amazing that I never need to offer my own interpretation of the dream. Most of time, the correct interpretation comes when the dreamer just stops long enough to “think” about the content. I’ll sometimes explain some important symbols that have been identified in the past, or “if it were my dream …” but most of the answers come just by becoming aware of the dream content. Once we identify that we need assistance in conquering life’s challenging events, sometimes it’s difficult for us to “ask for help.” Many people perceive that asking for help (from God or others) is a sign of weakness. Or, some may find it difficult to communicate personal needs due to other reasons (low self esteem, inability to communicate). Usually our unconscious mind will continue attempts to communicate with our conscious mind until the message is acknowledged and appropriate action taken. Repeating dreams are often an indication that we have not yet acknowledged the message from the unconscious center of our mind. These dreams will repeat until action is taken.
