The Dream Book of Self-Knowledge

Free will

  • the dreamer is honored by the unconscious and by dreams; the entire process of self-knowledge or problems that the dreamer must deal with unfolds from free will; the Apocalypse archetype also has an interesting relationship to free will.
  • from a spiritual perspective: it is very difficult to admit that in important life matters free will, which everyone thinks that he actually uses, is merely a mirage; gradual knowledge brings to light that a common person is a helpless instrument of flowing karma*26, of his wants and is almost unable to resist them and therefore the Law of Karma*34 looms high over free will; see the archetype of the Self.
