The Dream Book of Self-Knowledge

Kidnapping

  • being kidnapped: the unconscious places the dreamer into the role of a captive if he stays for an extended period in constant instinctual thought, whose danger he does not realize; then the experience of being kidnapped, often accompanied by absurd images of violence and death, forces the dreamer to change the preconceived schema of acting, feeling and thinking in favor of emotions.
  • doing, supporting or approving of it: this injustice is only typical of instinctual personifications.
  • by aliens: the dreamer's (alien's) spiritual consciousness versus its instincts and feelings (see Extraterrestrials); this dream image is so crucial that everyone witnessing such images in dreams should immediately read the UFO - Initiation Ceremonies archetype.
