Symbolism:
* Insects (especially centipedes and spiders): Often represent deeply buried fears, primal instincts, or fragmented/unintegrated parts of the psyche. Their alien nature evokes the unconscious, especially when exaggerated in size.
* Gigantic: Indicates their overwhelming psychic power — too big to ignore, but still hidden.
* Caves of flesh: Highly visceral, womb-like, but also intestinal — a place of digestion and transformation, but also repulsion and vulnerability. This suggests inner emotional or energetic terrain, particularly related to the body and subconscious memory.

Interpretation:
* You’re navigating deep somatic or subconscious traumas, possibly connected to repressed emotion, shame, or even early bodily experiences (like illness, fear, or exposure to overwhelming stimuli).
* The monsters live within the body — they are not foreign invaders, but expressions of inner processes or traumas, encoded through AMC. They might be fragments of your psyche that have been demonized or hidden through fearful associations.

===== Symbolism: =====
* Flight is a classical dream symbol of transcendence, freedom, or escape. It reflects the ability to rise above a situation — physically, emotionally, spiritually.
* In AMC terms, it may be a learned coping mechanism: disassociation, retreat into the mental or symbolic realm.

Interpretation:
* You have an inner potential for liberation — flight as your superpower.
* But it's often used reactively: as a way to escape, rather than to explore or engage. This can reflect a pattern of detachment from fear or conflict (e.g. social stress, inner darkness), possibly learned early on.
* Still, this is also a sacred power in your mythos — the ability to see from above, to shift levels of reality.

===== Symbolism: =====
* Figures in black or shadows: These are classic Jungian Shadow archetypes — the rejected, feared, or unacknowledged parts of yourself.
* They chase, but don’t attack directly. This usually means your psyche is prompting integration, not destruction.

Interpretation:
* These dreams reflect a call to face your own shadow: parts of your identity, sexuality, power, anger, or past that have been exiled or suppressed.
* The fact that you always fly away means the integration hasn’t occurred — yet.
* The weapons not working could represent the futility of egoic or external defense. Shadow cannot be destroyed, only accepted, understood, integrated.
