What does fear mean in a dream?
In scientific dream interpretation, fear is a monitor symbol — an indicator of the dreamer's current state and the direction in which things are heading. It signals that the deviation monitor, the mechanism of false attitudes, has switched on; it becomes positive, however, when the impulse of the In-Se wakes the dreamer from the frightening dream. This image works as a gauge — it does not so much describe the problem as signal where the situation is developing. Set it against the other images in the dream for the full picture.
