Curse
Being cursed, Hex, Jinx
A curse is an old story with a simple shape: a bad wish that seems to follow someone wherever they go. In dreams it rarely means anyone has wished you harm. More often it comes from a pattern you feel stuck in, the sense that things always go wrong in the same way. Being cursed may mean you're giving too much power to a fear or a bad experience. Placing a curse on someone may come from anger you haven't expressed, which is not a wish to hurt them. Breaking a curse is a powerful image of taking back control of your own story.
