Other Dreams

• Flame, fire
  The positive, life-preserving significance of fire arises from the concept of the eternal flame of life. The appearance of devouring and destructive fire in a dream is a danger signal. The danger can relate to the dreamer's sexual problems. We commonly speak of devouring love when we really mean dependency.

• Excrement (faeces)
  In primitive belief, excrement as well as saliva, urine, sweat and hair were magic substances. We must not forget that in earlier times fields were fertilized with animal and also human excrement. Excrement is thus connected in popular belief with money and wealth. Psychoanalysis regards the image of excretion in a dream as a castration symbol. Freud was of the opinion that a child experiences excretion as a loss. He found that overemphasis on cleanliness in the upbringing of small children sows the seeds of neuroses and sexual aberrations in later life. Experience in the field of psychotherapy has confirmed this opinion. The basic cause, however, is no longer seen as anal eroticism on the child's part, but as the loss of affection the child experiences as a result of such an exaggeratedly strict upbringing.

• Corpse
  A corpse in a dream is a danger signal of the highest order. Death is a symbol of transformation, followed as a rule by rebirth. The corpse, on the other hand, is a symbol of the long dead, inanimate side of a personality. To a certain extent, this relates to a spiritual relationship which the consciousness regards as lifeless, or to a complex which still burdens the unconscious.
