Triangle Dream Meaning

If you are religious, the triangle could be telling you to pay more attention to your religious teachings. It can also mean feeling independent or being able to stand on your own two feet.

If the triangle is facing upwards, this suggests that it would be better to channel your energies into your conscious objectives but if it is pointing downwards, you should turn inwards and explore your unconscious mind.

On the other hand, the triangle was a symbol used in Third Reich to mark out those who were ’different’ and ’bad’.

If you are seeing a triangle in a negative manner in your dream, it could be that you are feeling singled out, feeling like people are harassing you for no good reason and that you are frustrated and frightened by this. For Freudians, the triangle is an image of sexuality, male pointing upwards and female pointing downwards.

If your dream incorporated a triangular figure or shape, it may also have denoted three people who are closely linked to you in the waking world; perhaps your children and your partner, or perhaps a love triangle.

According to Freud, a pyramid is a symbol of an erect phallus. Others suggest that this powerful image represents spiritual aspirations. Alternatively if you dreamed that you found yourself in an Egyptian setting awed by the sight of the Great Pyramids, perhaps your unconscious is urging you to travel and see the great wonders of the world or to explore your own inner world. The square base of the pyramid can denote your unconscious foundations and the apex of the pyramid your aspirations. The pyramid can also represent a mountain you need to ascend in order to achieve your highest ambition, which may be spiritual enlightenment. There is a well-known game—square, circle or triangle?—in which you draw a square, circle or a triangle and ask someone to elaborate each of these shapes into a drawing. Whatever your playing partner makes of the square is supposed to relate to their outlook on the world, the circle to their inner being and the triangle to their sex life.

See if any of this makes sense if squares, circles or triangles appear in your dreams.

Depth Psychology: The triangle is the symbol for a “triangulated” affair. It may, however, also indicate that contradictory traits in your personality can be balanced in order to create something new.
