  • has a clear relationship to death that can occur in dreams several times a year; using symbols related to the death experience, the unconscious tries to gradually prepare the dreamer to abandon his egotistical positions and for his future mystical death*79, in which the ego definitively dissolves in the brightness of a new life.
