Totem Pole Dream Meaning

What is a totem pole? Totem poles are found mainly in the culture of the American Indians living on the northwest coast. The pillars were carved from a large tree trunk and subsequently often painted. Cedars were mainly used as trees for this.

Figures with deep symbolic meaning were usually depicted on the totem pole. In most cases it was a clan, a totem, animals such as fish or birds, or other mythical creatures. In addition, excerpts from family history could be illustrated there.

Typically, totem poles are "read" from the bottom up, although the actual message can only be deciphered by knowing the story behind the particular pole. For example, the same animal can have different meanings on different totem poles.

So, what does it mean when you dream about a totem pole? In general, totem poles in dreams may represent a connection to one's cultural or ancestral roots. They may symbolize a sense of identity, tradition, or heritage that the dreamer values and wishes to honor. Alternatively, totem poles may represent a sense of unity or community, as they often depict various figures or animals that are important to a particular group or culture.

In addition, totem poles in dreams may represent a desire for personal growth or a need to connect with one's spiritual or inner self. The various figures or animals depicted on the totem pole may represent different aspects of the dreamer's personality or psyche, and the plot may be urging the person to explore.
