I was in the middle of the road playing with an adolescent leopard. He was the sweetest thing and loved me to death. I began drawing out shapes in the air in front of me. I ran my finger in the shape of a square, and when the edges connected, the lines turned into a bright hue of periwinkle. I could then take the box and push it along the air like a bubble. I also drew a triangle around my face and kept it there for the rest of the dream
Of the four Elements, air and fire are regarded as active and male; water
and earth as passive and female. In some elemental cosmogonies, fire is given
pride of place and considered the origin of all things, but the more general belief is
that air is the primary element. Compression or concentration of air creates heat
or fire, from which all forms of life are then derived. Air is essentially related to
three sets of ideas: the creative breath of life, and, hence, speech; the stormy
wind, connected in many mythologies with the idea of creation; and, finally,
space as a medium for movement and for the emergence of life-processes. Light,
flight, lightness, as well as scent and smell, are all related to the general symbolism
of air (3). Gaston Bachelard says that for one of its eminent worshippers,
Nietzsche, air was a kind of higher, subtler matter, the very stuff of human
freedom. And he adds that the distinguishing characteristic of aerial nature is that
it is based on the dynamics of dematerialization. Thoughts, feelings and memories
concerning heat and cold, dryness and humidity and, in general, all aspects of
climate and atmosphere, are also closely related to the concept of air. According to
Nietzsche, air should be cold and aggressive like the air of mountain tops. Bachelard
relates scent to memory, and by way of example points to Shelley’s characteristic
lingering over reminiscences of smell.
To dream about the air, symbolizes creativity and intelligence. If the air is foggy or polluted, then it suggests that your thought process or mind is clouded.
To feel cold air in your dream, signifies discordance in your domestic relations and setbacks in your business affairs. You may be in danger of losing touch with reality.
To dream that you are breathing hot air, signifies the influence of evil around you.
This dream denotes a withering state of things, and bodes no good to the dreamer.
To dream of breathing hot air suggests that you will be influenced to evil by oppression.
To feel cold air, denotes discrepancies in your business, and incompatibility in domestic relations.
To feel oppressed with humidity, some curse will fall on you that will prostrate and close down on your optimistical views of the future.
Dreaming of inhaling unpleasant hot air might point to bad influences and bad forces at work against you, and cold air indicates some degree of failure professionally and emotionally.
Seeing your fingers in you dream, symbolizes physical and mental dexterity. They indicate manipulation, action and non-verbal communication. Dreaming that your fingers are injured or have been chopped off indicates your anxieties about your ability to accomplish some demanding task or perform in some waking situation. Dreaming of a finger pointing at you means self-blame. Dreaming about your little finger, represents mental power, intellect, memory, and the power of communication. Dreaming of your forefinger means authority, direction, judgment. Your dream may be trying to make a point. Dreaming of your middle finger indicates prudence, practicality, caution, responsibility, and hard work. Alternatively, the middle finger may symbolize the phallus. Dreaming of your ring finger, represents success, popularity and creativity, It also has association with marriage, union, and commitments.

Like all receptacles whose basic use is keeping or containing, the box is
a feminine symbol which can refer both to the unconscious (15) and to the
maternal body itself (31). We do not here refer to spherical objects, which are symbols of Oneness and of the spiritual principle. The myth of ‘Pandora’s box’
appears to allude to the significance of the unconscious, particularly in the special
sense of its unexpected, excessive, destructive potentialities. Diel relates this
symbol to ‘imaginative exaltation’ (15). In addition, we would like to point out
the analogy—the family resemblance—between Pandora’s box and the ‘third
casket’ which figures in so many legends. The first and second contain goods and
riches; the third discharges storms, devastation, death. This is clearly an example
of a symbol of human life (of the cycle of the year), which is divided into three
stages, consisting of two favourable thirds and one adverse. A superb elaboration
upon the Pandora theme is to be found in Dora and Erwin Panofsky’s Pandora’s
Box (London, 1956). Particularly interesting is the authors’ study of the literary
heritage of a myth, and the ways in which it may be adapted to serve the visual
arts.
To see a box in your dream, signifies your instinctual nature and destructive impulses. Alternatively, you may be trying to preserve and protect some aspect of yourself. The box may also symbolize your limitations and restrictions. Consider the pun of "being boxed in".
To dream that you are opening a box, indicates an aspect of yourself that was once hidden is now being revealed. It symbolizes self discovery. Consider your feelings as you open the box. If opening the box fills you will fear, you may be uncovering aspects of yourself that cause you to feel anxious.
Opening a goods box in your dream, signifies untold wealth and that delightful journeys to distant places may be made with happy results. If the box is empty disappointment in works of all kinds will follow.
To see full money boxes, augurs cessation from business cares and a pleasant retirement.

A trailing evergreen plant believed to have powers pertaining to ghosts, witches and bewitchment. In France, it is believed to ward off evil spirits. Hung over a door, it is said to keep out both witches and spirits. It is effective in the exorcism of demon. In Welsh superstition, if one plucks periwinkle off of a grave, they will be haunted by the dead in their dreams for one year. In order for the plants magical powers to be effective, it must be harvested on the 1st, 9th, 11th and 13th night of the moon, The harvester must be pure and clean when performing this act as well.
To dream that something is bright, represents divinity, a higher consciousness, and spirituality. You need to show your honor toward an important an person or situation. The dream may also be a metaphor for intellect and someone who is smart. If your dream is particularly bright and vivid, then it could indicate a prophetic or epic dream.
If the brightness is blinding, then it suggests that you are not paying attention to some new insights.

The square, as the expression of the quaternity, is a symbol of the
combination and regulation of four different elements. Hence, it corresponds to
the symbolism of the number four and to all four-part divisions of any process
whatsoever. Psychologically, its form gives the impression of firmness and stability, and this explains its frequent use in symbols of organization and construction. For Jung, the four-part division of movements and forms is of greater value
than the three-part. Whether or not this is so, what is certain is that, as against the
dynamism of the odd numbers and their related geometric forms (such as: three,
five, the triangle or the pentagon), the even numbers and forms (for example: four,
six, eight, the square, the hexagon, the octagon) are characterized by the qualities
of stability, firmness and definition. Hence, ternary symbolism tends to illustrate
activity and dynamism (or pure spirit), whereas the quaternary alludes predominantly to things material (or the merely rational intellect). The four Elements, the
four seasons, the four stages of Man’s life, and specially the four points of the
compass, are all sources of the order and the stability of the world. This does not
contradict the feminine character which Chinese, Hindu and other traditions ascribe to the square, since it corresponds to the earth, in contrast to the masculine
character of the circle (and the triangle) (32). In Egyptian hieroglyphs the square
signifies achievement and the square-shaped spiral denotes constructive, materialized energy (19). However, the square resting upon one of its corners acquires
a dynamic sense which is quite new, implying a change in its fundamental symbolism: during the Romanesque period, it was used as a symbol of the sun,
comparable with the circle (51).
Seeing a square in your dream indicates your need for more stability. It may also represent strength and solidity. Alternatively, you may be feeling limited in wanting to express yourself.
