Three readings
In Chinese tradition · 周公解梦 · 双胞胎
周公解梦 reads twins as increase — fortune or a matter arriving doubled, and sometimes a decision with two faces to weigh. To welcome twins is read favourably, as abundance; to confuse one for the other, as a choice or a duality you have not yet sorted. The tradition watches for what comes in twos.
Chinese dream interpretation (周公解梦), explained →In Western psychology · Jungian
In the Jungian reading twins are the pair of opposites — two aspects of one nature, the self and its shadow-twin, seeking to be held together. They can mark an inner division, or the doubling of a quality (light and dark, active and receptive) that wants integrating rather than choosing between.
