Number Three
Three represents the creative principle, expression, and the resolution of duality into synthesis. The trinity archetype appears in countless traditions: Father/Son/Spirit, Maiden/Mother/Crone, past/present/future. In dreams, three often represents the beginning, middle, and end of something, or the mind-body-spirit connection. Three objects or events suggest a pattern or a message about creative expression.
School
Schools represent learning situations, self-evaluation, and the social dynamics of your current life. Returning to school as an adult often reflects feeling unprepared or tested in a real-life situation. Being lost in school suggests confusion about your role. Taking a class you didn't know about represents unexpected challenges. The specific school — elementary, high school, university — indicates which life stage is being referenced.
