Chess

In Jungian terminology, the game of chess represents the dreamer’s conscious (white pieces) and unconscious (black pieces). Chess originally signified the war between good and evil, so in dreams it can express the conflict within or the need for some kind of strategy in your waking life. The game is a symbol of the battle between light and dark; this may represent a moral dilemma you are facing in waking life. The game is also rich in the symbolism of sexual rivalry and so dreams that feature chess lend themselves well to a Freudian interpretation: chess is won by killing the father figure, the piece most capable of killing him being the mother queen.

Consider the symbolism of the color of the pieces you choose and whether they were black of white. You may also want to consider the symbolism of the pieces you handle or move in your dream. For example, the king may represent someone who needs defending in waking life.

If you are using pawns, do you feel as if you are being manipulated in waking life? Consider also the implication of making a good or bad move in your dream and your life; if someone checkmates you, who or what is trying to restrict your movements in waking life? If, however, you are the person who checkmates, this suggests that you have your eye on your goals in waking life and have the strategy you need to succeed in achieving them. To dream of winning a chess match points to a highly analytical mind. Losing at chess indicates that you may have overstretched your abilities and need to lower your expectations.
