Chakra Dream Interpretation: Insights from 3 Unique Sources

In Hinduism and its spiritual systems of yoga, in some related Eastern cultures, as well as in some segments of the New Age movement—and to some degree, the distinctly different New Thought movement—chakra is thought to be an energy node in the human body. The seven main chakras are described as being aligned in an ascending column from the base of the spine (the first chakra) to the top of the head (the seventh chakra). Each chakra is associated with a certain color, multiple specific functions, an aspect of consciousness, a classical element and other distinguishing characteristics.

If you dream of chakras, the following list of things associated with the seven chakras may help.

1st Chakra: perineum, red, earth, survival, grounding, stillness, elephant, earth. 2nd Chakra: lower abdomen, orange, water, emotions, sexuality, desire, tears, crocodile, moon. 3rd Chakra: solar plexus, yellow, fire, will, power, anger, joy, laughter, ram, sun. 4th Chakra: heart, green, air, love, balance, compassion, antelope. 5th Chakra: blue, throat, ether, sound, communication, creativity, expansion, excitement, deer. 6th Chakra: third eye or adjna centre, indigo, forehead, light, clairvoyance, psychic abilities, imagination, dreaming, owl. 7th Chakra: top of head, violet, thought, spiritual connection, understanding, knowing, bliss, God.

Dreams of these energy centers in your body represent distinct qualities and themes that are associated with the area of the body and/or color that appears in the dream. Your dream may be suggesting an overemphasis or imbalance in one of your Chakras, or perhaps a suppression of energy. Keep in mind that the ideal state is equanimity, balance, flow and honoring of all centers as sacred.
