Continuing the conversation of Self-Preservation, we discuss the archetypal energy embedded in the instinct - what it’s meant to do in our lives and how we associate with it. We also explore some common themes in mythology and classic tales where the instinct could be present. To help with the feeling of this instinct in dreams, we break down two examples of self-preservation dominant people, one SP/SO and one SP/SX.

Step One - listen to this podcast! Today we talk about our personal methods in remembering and writing out our dreams. Sometimes just being intrigued by the unconscious is enough to spark a dream, but there are other ways in pulling out the symbolic imagery in our sleep.

We also break down a dream from Kaisa to show how just a fragment can be full of rich wisdom and insights. Listening to others’ dreams and the conversation around breaking them down can help in tackling one's own dreams. We go through Kaisa’s personal associations, the feelings involved, and how it’s all linked to her current struggles. 

Some of what we referenced can be linked to the Big Hormone Enneagram podcast. To find out more about Enneagram type and typing services, visit Enneagrammer.com ! To request a dream interpretation by Kristen, go to inkstoryrebel.com.

Come and join three Enneagram type 9s as they explore the depths of the unconscious. They’ll make you feel quite cozy as they discuss matters of personality, shadow, instincts, and the monsters hiding under our beds. 

The Enneagram is a personality system that is seen as the machine to our daily actions. Dreams can be a way to uncover the hidden motivations and desires behind a person’s unique type and experience in life. In this episode, we talk a little bit about our personal experience diving into dreamwork, and how we’ve noticed (just on the surface) the way in which Enneagram has an impact on the dream realm.
