(Psychological / emotional perspective)
Mermaids and mermen are feminine and masculine representations of the link between the darker forces â which we do not necessarily understand â and the conscious self.
In dreams the mermaid epitomizes how difficult it is to integrate the two sides of our nature.
This lack of integration can result in capriciousness.
The merman, however, is said to be less âintriguedâ by humans so, therefore, represents unification, but in a way that is more isolated.
