Interpretation 1 — Pamela Ball

1- A kaleidoscope connects us with our childlike selves, and the patterns that such a toy creates reminds us of the mandala (see Mandala). We are able in dreams to appreciate the beauty of basic patterns. Just as a child is fascinated by the pattern that a kaleidoscope creates, so the dream image can introduce us to the creativity which can often become trapped.

2- The magnification of the pattern created by small objects harks back to the sense of wonder that is felt in being human. We become aware of our own ‘smallness’ within the larger scheme of things.

3- A kaleidoscope can symbolise the patterns that we make for ourselves in times of spiritual self- doubt.

Interpretation 2 — Versatile - Anonymous

In dreams we are able to appreciate the beauty of basic patterns. In a kaleidoscope, any arbitrary pattern of objects shows up as a beautiful symmetrical pattern because of the reflections in the mirrors from which the kaleidoscope is constructed.

The patterns, both regular and irregular as seen in nature, can symbolize the patterns and matrices that we make to comfort ourselves in times of self-doubt.
