Pollution suggests that ideas, concepts and principles can be contaminated in some way and thus made less than perfect. In its original meaning of desecration, such a strong image makes us aware of how easy it is for us to lose sight of our aims and objectives in life. On an emotional level we can become conscious of a kind of pollution when we are not in line with our own truth. As we become more aware of the consequences of pollution in waking life, dream images will take on a relevance that has not been evident before. On a personal level we ourselves, our bodies, can become polluted by the food we eat, the medications we need, the air we breathe and so on, giving rise to distorted dream images.
