Dream Oracle Numbers Part Two: 6-10
by Julie Gillentine
In basic
numerology the object is to arrive at a number between 1 and 10 by
reduction. Reducing numbers by adding them together and then
reducing the total arrives at the smallest single number
from 1-10. For example 322 is 3 + 2 + 2 = 7. Likewise
1001 is 1 + 1 = 2. 978 is 9 + 7 + 8 = 24 so add 2 +
4 = 6 to get the lowest number. Numbers have both quantitative
significance and symbolic meaning. They can appear in dreams as
dates, months, seasons, phone numbers, room numbers or quantities. As
always examine the context.
6. BALANCE Meanings of the number six include equilibration, balance,
symmetry, harmony of opposites, balanced polarities, reciprocity,
love and complementary activities. One form of the number
six is two interconnected triangles, forming a perfectly balanced
symmetry. This is the Mogen David, the star of David and
the shield of love, which represents the perfected union of opposites. Sixes
in dreams may indicate the reciprocal nature of the energy required
in a situation. Sixes may show where the required balance
is needed or what quality is need to harmonize circumstances.
7. VICTORY The ancient word for the number seven meant oath and
implied the fulfillment of a sworn contract. Meanings of
the number seven include temporary cessation, rest, safety, security,
peace, health, wealth and satisfaction, recognition and spiritual
forces. Sevens in dreams may hint at the awakening and movement
of spiritual awareness in the dreamer’s life and may
reveal the path ahead. Sevens in dreams may cast additional
light on the nature of the spiritual quest and provide guidance
during a difficult period of transition. Seven is like a
plateau before the final ascent.
8. RHYTHM The number eight holds the meaning that opposite forms
of expression are effects of a single cause. Eight implies
the ebb and flow, flux and reflux, of a single breath-like motion
like the tides of the ocean. Meanings of the number eight
include vibration, rhythm, involution and evolution and resurrection. After
pausing to rest in seven energy moves again in eight. Eights
in dreams may provide insight into where a compensating balance
of energy might be found to harmonize the flow. Eights in
dreams can indicate the manner in which the dreamer has become
unbalanced and needs to restore rhythm.
9. COMPLETION The number
nine embodies the pure, clear expression of the idea which began
at one and completes a cycle. Meanings of the number nine
include completion, culmination, attainment, fulfillment, goal
of endeavor, termination, and the end of a cycle. Nines in
dreams almost always reveal what is coming to a point of conclusion
and what is now passing from the life. Nines can shed light
on how release can be achieved more easily and usually points toward
a profound letting go.
10. DOMINION The number ten combines the one of new beginnings
with the zero of potentiality, starting a new cycle at a higher
level of expression. Meanings of the number ten include dominion,
perfection, mastery, embodiment, consummation, a grand finale and
a return to unity. There is a sense of mastering one phase and
preparing for a new level. Tens in dreams indicate both what
needs to pass away as well as the new cycle which begins at a new
level of expression. Tens in dreams may reveal the area of
life in which to look for the next chapter.
0, 11 and 22 Zero is literally “no thing” and represents
unlimited potential or a state of void before manifestation. Although
the symbol for zero is usually an oval it is actually more like
an infinite circle before the dot at the center focuses a point
of creative expression. In dreams zero’s symbolism
is usually subtle,although often signaling a huge change or period
of uncertainty about what happens next. Prepare to leap into
the void.
11 and 22 are often called Master Numbers. In most systems of numerology
these numbers are not reduced; otherwise 11 would reduce to 2 and
22 would reduce to 4. 11 seems to be similar in nature to
the planet Uranus in that it operates on a mental plane at a higher
frequency. 11 is difficult to contain and can be a disruptive
influence. In dreams this signals looking for solutions that
are out of the ordinary. 22 seems to hold new patterns of
manifestation. There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet and
22 cards in the Major Arcana of Tarot. 22 in a dream might
be an indication to open to spiritual counsel and a totally new
way of orienting to life.
