Dream Symbolism

There are places, things and attributes to Kaoru that tend to stand out. These are the symbolisms of those things.

☥ Blue denotes a great source of inner peace and a symbol of contentment. Kaoru wears blue uniforms when playing sports. Usually the activities releases her stress. Perhaps the blue can play into that.

☥ Kaoru is affected greatly when it comes to her breast. Its symbolism is female sexuality and maternal love; hidden meaning is that you will have true and loyal friendship and success in love. Perhaps that is why she felt so unworthy when she had one removed...

☥ Kaoru has brown hair in the anime. The color signifies freedom, success, money and a happy and long-lasting union. It sounds Kaoru like. To be a brunette indicates being natural, practicality and being down to earth.

☥ She likes books. They deal in information, guidance, and record keeping. Simply put, she needs the guidance.

☥ Cancer denotes being out of control and preservation. That gives a sense to her odd reasoning of letting Takehiko go. She took control of the situation and did things in order to make sure others were better off or to protect them from herself, and to protect herself.

☥ Kaoru often plays volleyball and basketball. A circle is associated with integration and wholeness. Well, she does look to the game as a release...

☥ Cooking deals in success in love. She is so determined to make sure her love is not successful that it affected her cooking abilities... for shame. (Kidding.)

☥ Kaoru fears death... understandable. It is the end of a cycle... Something is finally over.

☥ Deformity... I would not say she is deformed, but she likely feels that way. It signifies failure of expectation, disappointment and seeking perfection in own life. She certainly expected Takehiko to respond like that.

☥ Kaoru's number on the basketball team is eight. Eight is seven plus one, and is hence the start of a new order, the beginning of a new era. Eight thus represents regeneration and resurrection. Eight also stands for power of authority, success, karma, material gains, regeneration, and wealth. I'd say that ties into Kaoru well.

☥ An ex-boyfriend signifies accepting or failing to accept within yourself.

☥ She is a friend. It denotes joy and consolation.

☥ Obviously, she is a girl, despite what her cooking teacher implies in the manga. A girl represents learning to be receptive, happiness and tranquility.

☥ One of her colors is green. It symbolizes growth, serenity, and finding great pleasures from simple things. She certainly loved the merry-go-round in the anime.

☥ She often wears jackets. Symbolism of a jacket is freedom of movement, seeking liberty of actions, luck and prosperity.

☥ In the manga, she runs off to a lake after hearing that Takehiko plans to take his wife to Germany with him, which leaves her devastated. Lakes imply contained emotions, sense of tranquility or peace and being conformable with present state. Well, she certainly contains her more negative of emotions and she needed a state of peace of mind and to deal with the present occurrences.

☥ Kaoru is often found in a library, which symbolizes research, knowledge and search for answers in the past. All three seem to suit Kaoru.

☥ Hues of light orange are another color Kaoru is often seen wearing in the anime. The color indicates passion in every aspect of your life, and she certainly does that.

☥ She is nicknamed "Prince" Kaoru. Princes of course symbolize royalty and nobility. It also denotes self-satisfaction.

☥ In the anime, Kaoru is wandering outside while it is pouring down. It occurs after Rei's death and upsetting thoughts in regards to her ailment. Rain signifies release and feelings that are pouring down on you.

☥ Kaoru is often found reading, which indicates learning. Information is revealed and it allows one to escape from reality. It also indicates that something burdens you. That is definitely Kaoru.

☥ Reunion is gathering of feelings from the past that needs to be recognized. Kaoru runs from her past, literally. She is not one for meeting with Takehiko for a long time.

☥ It is by a river where she breaks off her relationship with Takehiko in the anime. Rivers symbolize emptying and thinking it is time to get rid of some feelings. In addition, it is a time to yourself about your life's path. That sounds true.

☥ In the manga Kaoru is sitting on a rock, even throwing rocks, while at the lake. Rocks can indicate looking for a source of strength. Kaoru definitely was desperate for a pillar, like Rei, right then.

☥ She had scars, physical and emotional. Scars denote injury, past experience and readiness to heal completely from an emotional hurt.

☥ School is a word that just has to be thought of when looking at this series. It symbolizes discipline, instruction and skills to resolve a problem. Kaoru is quite like all of that.

☥ A key word for what goes on in the series is secret. Mysterious, hidden and being ready to reveal yourself or to uncover the truth are the indications of the word.
