The Dream Book of Self-Knowledge

Limping

  • a limping that needs help: the dreamer's instinctual animus or instinctual anima and sometimes even his shadow (see Shadow archetype) is seeking help especially with emotional personifications (usually a doctor) since emotions aren't getting through; such willingness in itself is a benefit since the dreamer subconsciously suspects that emotions can greatly help this injured part of himself (whether it is the dreamer or one of his dreamer personifications that is limping).
  • helping limping people: very positive since the dreamer is actively helping to get his experiences back to the emotional level.
