The Dream Book of Self-Knowledge

Departing

  • from a city: the path to finding peace and tranquility.
  • life itself is a journey, and a journey is a period of movement, full of change, a period of growth; in the unconscious a journey symbolizes inner movement from one way of existence to another.
  • from barracks: if the path is lined with images of an instinctual level, this is a negative result of the inability to submit to discipline, but if the path is lined with emotional personifications and emotional symbols or if we are heading for spiritual symbols, then this is the correct result of inner discipline.
  • from a train station: the dreamer is repressing people, symbols and states that remain at the station.
  • deciding to bathe or shower instead of departing on a journey: the dreamer has realized (even if subconsciously) that moral cleansing is more important for further development than continuing on the life journey with his present foundation (unsound mindset).
