The Dream Book of Self-Knowledge
- washed laundry: an important dream that directs the dreamer's experience towards the emotional level.
- dried flowers: emotional immaturity and unclear emotional relationships; a person prefers to preserve his feelings, love and sex for memories than to fully experience them.
- hay: symbolizes the partial and temporary elimination (though not complete liquidation) of erotic and sexual thoughts, which was achieved by removing emotion (dehydrating water); the temporariness of the elimination is confirmed by the fact that for many animal instinctual personifications hay is hearty food.
- raking, drying, putting into stacks, storing hay: symbolizes material gain.
