Leo, Like a house teh condo is you. Note the term 'complex' in the first part of the definition. This would be what the whole emotional event is centered around. Your emotional 'complex' of a devouring mother {see complexes}. As in an apartment 'complex', this is a primary 'residence' that you have been living in for most of your life. This is what you desire to be set free of. The link you provided is primary a water scene. Water in a dream is usually a symbol for the emotions. The deeper the water, as in an ocean, the deeper the emotions. But your dream scene is of a 'water park'. Here is the definition of a park within a dream 'Dreaming that you are at a park, represents a temporary escape from reality. It indicates renewal, meditation, and spirituality. It is also an indication of a readjustment period after a serious personal conflict or an ending of a passionate affair.' This would fit with your need/desire for escape from the realities of your emotional conflicts. In this 'fantasy' world you are able to compliment 'the mother' as opposed to the real world where your relationship with your mother is the opposite. The dream is showing how you really feel, your true desires of escape. Then there is the part with Angie. This too would be a fantasy depicting your desires of uniting your own feminine qualities. This has yet to work out in your waking life but when you are finally able to resolve this emotional complex of the devouring mother it will. There may be a warning in this scene also. Your negative relationship with your mother may produce a deeper complex that taints your impression of relationships with women. This could be an unconscious motivating factor that you are not aware of. Can you pinpoint why the relationship with Angie did not work out? Often the impressions of early life experiences, in your case a devouring mother, will manifest itself in relationships later in life. This could produce a desire to compensate what was lacking in your relationship with your mother either by engaging in affairs with women totally opposite your mother, or, the opposite of having relationships with women who were like your mother. In the later instance it would be to fulfill what was never there with your mother, a lost cause then and most likely a lost cause when engaging in a relationship with someone like your mother. It would be important to thoroughly resolve this devouring mother complex so not to let it taint future relationships. Back to your dream. Overall it is a wish fulfillment dream reflecting those desires of escape. But I see it as positive because it is also addressing what needs to be done. Let's look once again at the definition of a park, in particular this sentence: 'It indicates renewal, meditation, and spirituality' Because you have engaged in meditation yoga the dream is addressing that path also. Again, you are going in the right direction. But the emotional life of 30 years of enduring a devouring mother doesn't just disappear in an instance. It will be a motivating factor, as much unconscious as conscious, as long as you let it remain a primary emotional factor in your life. You have begun to take the right steps in removing this complex but if it endures to the point it does factor into future relationships with women you will need to seek counseling. That is not a bad thing, it may be a necessary thing. If we look at every life we would see most people would need such assistance in some form or another. To give you an idea of what I mean of unconscious motivating factors I will provide an example from my life having to do with my father. My father was a self centered, thoughtless person who was never there for me, my sisters or my mother. But up until the age of 30 I tried to get close to him only to be rejected at every turn. In the meanwhile I was myself acting out some of his characteristics {but never abandoning my responsibilities to my son}, unconsciously seeking the love I never received from him. In brief I was up until my late 20s 'looking for love in all the wrong places'. One relationship after another, just like my father. The unconscious motivators where embedded in my psyche from early life. Although I finally got past those desires on my own by the age of 35, it was not until he age of 42 when I discovered Joseph Campbell, which led me to Carl Jung where I discovered the underlying causes to those motivating factors in my early adult years. And through Jung's Individuation Process I was able to finally remove those factors and find personal balance and spiritual freedom { as well as discovering my creative self with working with dreams and designing Myths-Dreams-Symbols}. I put an emphasis on spirituality {far removed from any religion] because it is from that inner spirit that life provides true balance and harmony. As for your journey. Yoga, an Eastern philosophy is a wonderful way to star the journey to wholeness. Opening up to all spiritual possibilities is the way to enlightenment {Buddhism isn't a religion, it is a psychology}. Stay that path and no matter how life plays out you will be in a better position to face the world. As the saying goes, and a true statement from my experience, go '{inward' to discover the true self. Jungian psyche is about that inner journey, the psychological journey of self discovery. Jerry
