This was a dream I had a few months back but really stays rooted in my memory because of how vivid and intense the imagery was.
It begins as I am walking through a street unfamilliar to me with some non-descript people, I feel as though they may have been either my brothers or my father, although I still remain unsure. On this street was an old and worn out looking pawn shop. I entered the pawn show and noticed how weathered and dusty it was inside. There were old insturments and tools lining the walls and shelves and there was a work bench that looked well used. I walked into the back room and out the back door and found myself in a heavily wooded area.
Coming from Australia myself, I recognised this 'forest' as eucalyptus scrubland, I walked for a while in this scrub, not really taking notice of my surroundings, I noticed that the ground was covered with eucalyptus leaves. As I continued to walk I found myself sinking into the leaf litter, with each step falling into soggy and wet marshland. The trees and the plants began to take on a pinkish hue. The area around me was no longer scrubland but that of an unearthly pink swamp. As I looked on past the flora I noticed a cave with a number of dead trees near its entry. The cave mouth made me uneasy as it stirred an essence of fear within me, as I got closer I noticed the cave mouth was like that of a skull's mouth. I did not allow my self to traverse further through this swamp and instead woke myself out of the dream.

In the symbolism pertaining to the body, the most elementary association is the one between the organ or member and its function. It is, then, selfevident that, in Egyptian hieroglyphs, the mouth should stand for the power of
speech and hence for the creative word. In this sense it stands for the pristine
emanation of creative power. Very closely connected with this hieroglyph is
another showing a mouth with a solar disk inside. This disk, primarily standing
for the sun, is connected, but not identical, with the eye. (In hieroglyphs which
are coloured, the eye is wholly blue, while the sign under discussion consists of a
blue mouth with a little red circle inside) (19). Guénon supports this interpretation of the sign (29), pointing to the example of the Mândûkya Upanishad where,
apropos the state of deep sleep, the mouth is said to represent integral consciousness (26). In the Old Testament, the concepts of mouth and fire are frequently
associated; epithets such as ‘devouring’ or ‘consuming’, frequently applied to the
latter, are descriptive of the functions of the former. Hence the fire-breathing
animals of legend. Jung explains these associations by synaesthesia and suggests
that they are connected with Apollo, the sun-god who is depicted with a lyre as
his characteristic attribute. The common link between the symbolisms of sounding, speaking, shining and burning finds a physiological parallel in the phenomenon known as ‘coloured hearing’ whereby some individuals experience sounds
as colours. Furthermore, it is hardly a coincidence that the two main characteristics that set Man apart from all other beings are the power of speech and the use
of fire. Both are, in fact, the product of mana (psychic energy) (31). In consequence, mouth-symbolism, like fire-symbolism, has two aspects: creative (as in
speech) and destructive (devouring). And, of course, the mouth is the point of
convergence between the external and the inner worlds. This explains the frequent
symbol of the ‘monster’s mouth’, with sets of upper and lower teeth that are
expressive of the ‘interlocking’ of the two worlds: heaven and earth or, more
often, hell and earth (50). There are, in mediaeval iconography, abundant examples of the mouths of dragons or large fishes affording access to the inner world
or to the underworld.
