The Dream Book of Self-Knowledge

Deviation

  • symbolizes the deviation from traditional and engrained views and therefore is needed on the path of self-knowledge.
  • condemning: a very negative picture of the dreamer's soul since by throwing guilt on others a person tries to show his supposed moral purity, though actually he despises these traits*24, which he is usually trying to subconsciously eliminate.
  • one's psychological deviation (especially sexual) represents the dreamer's unique chance to confront point blank his own subconscious desires; see individual psychological deviations.
