The Dream Book of Self-Knowledge

Christening

  • a kind of initiation that concerns the dreamer's inner essence, whether the christening is seen or experienced.
  • in the unconscious it symbolizes the victory over instincts, the filling of human life with emotions and a spiritual awakening, and therefore the christening symbol can fulfill all archetypes within the circles of the unconscious (see the chapter of the Map of the Unconscious in the book Secrets of the Unconscious Order).
  • for a similar symbol see Initiation.
