Universal Landscape: Sudden and destructive impact of a wounded heart.
Dreaming Lens: Did you have a heart attack? Did someone else have a heart attack in your dream? What was the end result of the heart attack? Was it painful? Where did the heart attack take place?
Personal Focus: A heart attack refers to any of a number of different wounds to the heart. Results of a heart attack can range from innocuous discomfort to death. The heart is the symbolic center of love. When love is compromised for too long, the heart may rebel and attack. In this context, when we use the word “love,” we aren’t necessarily referring to feelings of romantic attachment. Love is the primary principle on which life is based; anything that opposes love, such as anger, resentment, envy or pride, are all qualities that can have an impact on the heart.
Often the causes of a heart attack go unnoticed for a long time before the actual event occurs. In this way, such a dream image may indicate that the underlying cause of your unconscious discontent may have been lingering below the surface for a long while before this time.
If you are the one having a heart attack in your dream, then look to where in your life issues around love may be hurting you on a deep level. If someone else in your dream is the victim, then use them as a Character Aspect of the part of your personality that is suffering due to a matter of love, or the lack thereof.
