Along the difficult path that leads to spiritual development, the Truth seeker encounters certain symbols or archetypes whose hidden meaning transcends beliefs and cultures from all parts of the world. These archetypes appear insistently in our dreams, visions and visualizations, but they also surround us in real life without us looking at them. They may have a very different meaning to what their appearance suggests, and while most archetypes are the same for everyone, there will always be one that has a special meaning for each reader.
Dream interpretation guides usually contain lists of archetypes, but today I have consulted several sources to create an extensive list that brings together the most common archetypes of the hidden world . I hope it helps you to recognize them, both in the dream and in the vigil and that it is useful for you to achieve a better understanding of your inner world.

Numbers as Archetypes
The numbers function as archetypes that can have different meanings within different cultures. For example, for the Celts and the Nordic peoples, 3 was a sacred number, but for the Chinese it was bad luck.
The following list attempts to decipher such cultural complexity a bit, to serve as a guide for the reader when working with the hidden meaning of the numbers.
0. Beginnings and / or endings
1. The number of the I in the West, but a symbol of loneliness and isolation in some areas of the East, where it is the norm to live a life with the support of an extended family, and get involved in a daily team work.
2. The number of the union, polarity or duality. Also the number of balance and potential. A lucky number in ancient Greece.
3 . The sacred number of the Celtic and Nordic peoples, but considered infamous in certain parts of the East. It is also a sacred number for Hindus.
4. The number of the elements. Considered almost universally as a number of balance and fullness. It is also the main sacred number of Native Americans and the Shinto religion (native religion of Japan).
5. The mysticism of the Middle East and medieval numerology teaches that this is a number of bad luck.
6. A number of equilibrium for ancient Rome. A number of fullness for Native Americans.
7. The Seven of Luck is almost universally known, and is particularly strong in Christian mysticism.
8. For the Chinese, this is the most sacred number of all and represents life.
9. A number of totality and sacredness for the Celts, because it is three times three. It is also the number normally associated with the moon.
