The Dream Book of Self-Knowledge
- completion of part of the cleansing and healing process in the mind.
- of others from shackles: a positive symbol even if we are freeing dangerous instinctual personifications or other personifications of the Shadow archetype (usually a dragon or monster) since the dreamer's compassion has strengthened to such a point that he can handle a face-to-face encounter with the negative part of himself and assimilate it through a higher mind (emotional and spiritual level).
- of the land from the occupants: while occupation directs the dreamer's development toward the Apocalypse archetype (making for harsh living and expelling the dreamer from a certain area), liberation has the Hero archetype in its scenario.
- of a girl, woman (in the dreams of men): liberation of the emotional anima (rarely even the spiritual anima).
- of a princess (in the dreams of men): understanding of the spiritual anima from the perspective of the spiritual animus (usually a knight or prince).
