The Dream Book of Self-Knowledge

Walrus

  • walrus tusk: a clear phallic symbol.
  • adult: symbolizes an emotional life that is regularly interspersed with spiritual ideals.
  • young: symbolizes instincts that entail the ability to transubstantiate oneself into emotions; just like a young walrus will someday have the courage to enter the water.
  • hunting in the sea depths: emotions are penetrating deep beneath the surface of awareness to find spiritual ideals (fish) for their strength and growth (spiritual ascension).
