The Dream Book of Self-Knowledge

Veneration

  • can induce the ecstasy of spiritual rapture that is then, due to a weak spiritual consciousness, degraded to the emotional and physical level (often with feelings of sexual climax).
  • awe: only the spiritual animus or spiritual anima can awaken awe in the dreamer.
  • scandals and transgressions of the venerated: if the scandal affects people revered or even worshipped by the dreamer, then this image is a grave warning that in making light of the scandal, mistakes or moral decline the dreamer is not pulled down into the moral mud that is shown to him by the scandal of the venerated one.
