The Dream Book of Self-Knowledge
- hearing an ironic voice: the unconscious is making a parody of some wrongful behavior and trying to correct the dreamer's attitude.
- being the target of irony: the dreamer is confronted with his own behavior in the recent past for a single purpose – so that he is able to tolerate irony aimed at his own acts and behavior and establish a shield of compassion toward ridicule.
- own irony aimed at others: if irony is associated with concealed derision and disparagement of others' views, then it is a moral obstacle for a person wanting to live an emotional or even spiritual life.
