What does it mean to dream about inner call?

A feeling of a powerful, persistent pull toward a certain path or action in a dream, often felt as something greater than ordinary desire.

An inner call archetypally symbolizes the voice of the Self — a summons to embody one's deeper calling, differing from superficial desires in its persistence and depth. Jung referred to this as the process of individuation: the movement toward the fullest realization of the personality's unique potential.

What it might feel like
