Woman is intended to be like a dream -- full of symbolic archetypical
images -- the meaning of which you can't quite grasp while experiencing the
dream. These images are intended to affect your subconscious rather than
consciousness.
With the help of Carl Jung I'll try to interpret the symbols.
The woman is poured out of Moon -- no coincidence in this -- the parallel
relationship between the Moon and the Woman has been established in many
cultures throughout times. After finishing the pouring, the Moon changes
from Full (round) to New Moon (with horns). The Moon is never constant, it's
form is always changing, like the mood of a woman.
The woman has the shape of a cocoon -- a transitory form, not an ultimate
shape, this suggests a journey towards completion. Cocoon is a symbol of
her potential.
She is then surrounded by four red wingless birds. Four is the number of
unity of Self. A bird usually is a symbol for spirituality because it
connects Earth and Sky by flying high but nesting on ground. The birds
surrounding the woman have no wings -- they represent female spirituality
which is rather practical, earthy, grounded. Red is the color of passion, of
Love.
A wind blows a butterfly (that itself has come from a cocoon) into womanıs
face and sets her in motion, it's a signal to move and fulfill her potential.
The Moon follows her.
The birds carry and leave the woman on a red bull's back. The bull is a
symbol of male power. It possess earthiness, the red of passion, horns just
like the New Moon.
The bull runs into Tower, which is Goblet of Life.
The water is woman's element. Is symbolizes fluidity of emotions, bottomless
depths of woman's subconscious. No man should ever walk in there.
The first encounter: a man with a bear inside throws stones into water.
Woman whose shape has totally changed -- she has acquired the red of the
birds and the bull, and the horns of the bull and the New Moon -- appears
from the water and lures the man to come to her.
The bear, the animal side of man, the LUST, looses control of himself and
walks straight into water where he drowns both himself and the man.
The dangers of pure physical lust.
The second encounter: a bear with a man inside. The man is able to
establish an eye contact with the woman. A spark of Love flies between
them.
He is able to get the woman out of water and touch her.
It is the beginning of Love.
The Potential of the Woman -- cocoon in the beginning -- has been realized --
she has done harm (unwillingly) and she has brought good.
Other bulls keep running into the Tower. Potential collides with Life.
The story of Life is a story of Love and Death, and it endlessly repeats
itself with each new generation with each individual.
