Dream Symbol Interpretation

Meaning of Shadow
Universal interpretation and symbolism

To notice a shadow in your dream implies the rejected or unconsous negative traits of the dreamer that follow it around. The main goal would be for the dreamer to recognize what darkness casts behind the persona of the dreamer; what is hidden behind the mask he or she wears in public. These dark shadows are known to attack when you are not aware of these traits or behaviors that lurk inside your mind. Did you dream of a shadow person just before you woke up from bed? These annoying people tend to sit on your backs or just lurk around that are commonly connected with the dreadful sleep paralysis.
