Association: – Isolation, – retreat, – perseverance. Question: From what would like I to withdraw?
In general:
Desert often points out to the fact that one lives too soberly, essentially and rationally, – about that the emotional needs are neglected, one feels unhappy. Finally, the desert can also stand for deep existential fear and insecurity. The individual meaning arises from the concrete living conditions. If a dream trades of the fact that the dreaming alone is in the desert, this is possibly a tip to missing emotional fulfilment, on loneliness or maybe isolation. If the dreaming is, nevertheless, with another person in the desert, this maybe shows that this respect is useless or nowhere leads there. Another aspect of the desert can be explained by the fact that it played a big role for many religious founders (Moses, Jesus). This was the place in which they withdrew to have direct heart-to-heart talk with God. If one dreams of a desert, this can also mean that one wants to proceed far from all everyday, around thus in loneliness and contemplation his internal regulation and his own way to God would like to find.
Psychologically:
In the desert does not grow a lot, therefore, it is as a dream symbol also a danger signal. Mostly this picture on the isolation of the dreaming leads in the midst of the mass society. Mental loneliness and mental-spiritual shutdown are often shown with this vision. Indeed, the dreaming can also have withdrawn voluntarily into the desert. Then it concerns an occasional, voluntary abstinence from which ideas as well as strength arise. The ride or march by the desert in the dream is the tip to the fact that one can achieve an aim only after unspeakable privations or strength strains. The dreaming must think over very carefully his action direction if he wants to ‘survive’ in his present situation.
Spiritually:
A desert can symbolise desolation, but it can also be a place of the meditation, the rest and the divine revelation.
