I thought it was just AM6/SM3's way of telling me that I've always got at least 1 woman with me, i.e. reduce neediness, assume attraction, etc. Thoughts?
You are a pair, she is your anima (although, if you can't see her face, she may just be a dream character. The typical rule to follow in dreams is this:
- If you can see/remember their face, they are an aspect of you
- If you DON'T see their face, they represent something or someone in the outside world.).
Now the anima is the part of your psyche that is female. Think yin-yang. Every male has some female in him, and every female has some male in her. These express themselves in dreams, sexual fetishes, all manner of things.
In the individuation process, you effectively incorporate all aspects of your unconscious into your personality. This includes the shadow (parts of you that you won't acknowledge) and the anima. The wise old man is one step away from Buddha-hood (or realizing the "Self").
But yeah, look it up, it's fascinating stuff.
