A sense of memory being erased or losing something irretrievably in a dream, often with anxiety about the irreversibility of this process.
Oblivion archetypally symbolizes the process opposite to memory — an active or passive letting go of what is no longer held by consciousness. This is not always negative: sometimes oblivion is a necessary protective mechanism allowing the psyche to move forward without the weight of all it has lived through.
anxiety, sadness, sometimes relief
Often arrives when there is ambivalence between the desire to remember and the need to let go of the past. Maybe this oblivion reflects something from the past that you either fear losing or, conversely, are finally ready to let go.
Determine what specifically you wish to preserve and what to let go with gratitude, writing it down as a conscious choice rather than an accidental loss.
