astrology"Rings are archetypal symbols".... archetype ~ (in Jungian psychology) a collectively inherited unconscious idea, pattern of thought, image, etc., universally present in individual psyches. (www.dictionary.com)
I love Jung. I see the ring (or the symbol of the circle) as a universal symbol, ie the circle of life...
"Magic circles of Shamans".... now we're talking my language. My favorite imagery is of a circle of fire surrounding me. I use this image for many reasons but to relate it to my dream is an interesting idea to say the least. So then I went to astrology.com's website and looked up ring~
Rings (jewelry or magic)
Rings may be symbols of covenant or commitment, as in marriage. Often rings of this type reflect our deepest desires to make or receive commitment from others or in regard to a particular task.
Rings with magical vibrations may be about acquiring supernatural powers.
Rings of magic drawn on the ground, such as medicine rings or crop circles, may have more to do with protection, as the ring is often the limits to which evil may approach.
In dreams of this nature, you may be anxious that circumstances are pressing too hard upon you and feel that you need an intercessor.
Did you create or find the ring? Do you feel any sense of control over it?
Is there a ring that someone else is using to gain power over you?
Interesting huh? Of course I have all my own opinions and I'll leave it up to you to divine your own. I like to think of this information as a guide, not a rule book. ~Peace~

While circles are usually positive dream symbols, it is important to note the characters that accompany them and the emotions that surround them.
Did you experience the circular object yourself, or watch others doing so?
Was the circle broken or complete?
