Stage 4, Day 32:
Finally at the finish line for stage 4, and what a stage it's been. As I'm typing this, I'm wrapping up my final listening session for stage 4 . I looked up the meaning of cockroaches in dreams and ran across an interesting perspective:
" 1. Uncleanness.
Many (most) of us view cockroaches as dirty creatures. Moreover, it is not only themselves who are considered unclean, but the whole place where they live. Our feelings to these crawlers might even be hardwired in the brain. That's why you don't even need to be consicuously kastaridophobic to experience the aversion.
In this sense, cockroaches might symbolize some dirty, "subhuman" thoughts or personality traits that are spoiling your whole inner world. Due to their small size and ability to hide, these aspects don't manifest themselves openly during the day (both literally and metaphorically). But this, together with their numerosity and fertility, makes them even more dangerous for your spiritual health.
2. Resilience.
Cockroaches are one of the most stalwart creatures in the world. They might be among the last ones that will creep this Earth after all the others disappear. Even if this latter fact is not known to you, their ability to evade and survive any means of extermination, however highly technological, is legendary.
This symbolic meaning can go by itself, pointing at some stubborn (and, again, instinctive) part of your personality that you cannot exterminate. But it can also go along with the first meaning, underlining both impurity and invincibility. In this case, they might symbolize those aspects that you've been trying to unsuccessfully cope with for a long time.
3. Facing the reality.
This meaning comes from the slang term "roach" meaning the end of a cigarette (or a marijuana joint). Different smokers have different attitudes to this final bit. But in the most common case it symbolically means the last mile of pleasure before you facing the reality (that one tries to escape by smoking).
If referring to a marijuana joint, this might have a variety of additional symbolic meanings associated with drug intoxication itself — but this is a subject for a whole different (and oh so lengthy) discussion."
These were the 3 most common meanings in dreams and so I find it interesting to think that this was yet another sign of me breaking through another internal barrier or at least there currently being progress on getting to another breakthrough. Could also be a sign of the resistance I wrote about a few days ago.
