PRINCE Conscious
(or in a woman may be unconscious) intellectual, masculine qualities.
Sometimes it depicts the attitudes and qualities in us that searches
for truth, tries to find a way through personal difficulties, or
attempts to direct or use the physical and mental heritage. It is also
often used to represent the best in a man, and an ideal male in a
woman's dream.
PRINCESS
Conscious (or in a man may be unconscious) emotional, intuitive,
feminine qualities. Sometimes represents the inner self, receptive,
gentle, sympathetic nature. A sense of beauty and love in alignment
with life. The princess in a woman's dream can depict her strength to
search for meaning and ways to positively deal with difficulties and
personal problems.
PRISON/PRISONER/IMPRISONED
Most often feelings of being imprisoned by your inability to cope
with circumstances, moods, relatives. Trapped by inadequacies, fears,
moral codes, ambitions, sense of superiority. Any limiting influence
within, or outside of you. We have to realise, however, that if the
influence seems to be from outside, it is only because we have not yet
discovered our own inner attitudes or fears that makes us subject to
that limitation. One child may easily becomes independent of home and
parents, another may never do so, because they are inwardly different.
The prison doesn’t exist if the inner condition changes. Stone
walls do not a prison make, nor iron bars a cage.
PRIZE Some
gain in self understanding or insight found through your endeavours.
Realising or achieving something valuable. Recognition of your own
skill, growth or achievement. A desire to win, or be superior. Fear of
losing. Feeling rewarded; occasionally intuition about a coming
acclaim; feeling good about yourself, therefore self congratulation;
can also be compensatory in that you want or need praise and
recognition.
PROP Some
idea, belief, or outer influence, like alcohol, or drugs, which we may
need at a particular time to keep us from falling in some way. We may
take a particular medicine due to a fear of illness. Although we may
not be ill at all, the medicine helps to suppress the fear, Dreams
often aim at removing the prop and facing up to the fear which caused
us to lean upon it.
PROPELLER
The driving energy behind emotions. May be ambition, will, desire
to be somebody, or to get somewhere, or just energy.
PROPHESY
See: Premonition.
PROSECUTION
Either a fear of having done wrong, a desire to do so, or guilt.
Or the feeling that someone else has wronged us.
PROSTITUTE/PROSTITUTION
May depict the misdirection of love and affection for financial
ends, or selfish motives. Or feelings of sexual inadequacy. Desperate
sexual needs.
The whore is also a symbol of the earth in its destructive mother
aspect. The swallower of souls, of masculinity and attempts to mature.
It is the whore, or mother, from whose emotional or sensual hold on us
we have not found a way to break free. So it represent powerful
feelings of need that we feel angry about, and therefore project
aggressive criticism to the mother.
Other associations might be: Feeling you have 'sold out' or
betrayed your real self or real feelings in order to survive or for
money; on the game, or playing sexual games.
Woman's dream: Unacknowledged sexual longings; feelings of
'cheapness' or guilt in sex; desire to be more free sexually.
Woman dreaming another woman is prostitute: Ones own hidden
desires; feeling the other woman is promiscuous or might be in
competition with her; uncertainty about ones own sexual value.
Man's dream: Wishing a woman was more available; wish that
sexual relationship were as simple as an exchange of cash; being ill
at ease about his sexual practices; feeling unable to break free of
emotional-sexual dependence on partner-mother.
See: archetype of the
prostitute.

hymn or song. This is because it summarises their feelings, desires,
or inner realisation as depicted in the dream.
