Other Dreams

• Circumcision
  Circumcision is a part of the cult of initiation and masculinity rites. Should a similar scene appear in a dream, it is in no way connected with castration — quite the opposite! In the belief of primitive peoples, circumcision symbolizes the sacrifice of the animal instincts. The image of circumcision or of similar rituals in a dream indicates the necessity of becoming aware of one's own animal instincts.

• Child
  The child symbolizes a new potentiality. Usually, the dreamer is being informed of the possibility of a new attitude to life. If the dream child is ill or on the verge of death, this is a warning signal. It shows the dreamer that spiritual aspects within him are in danger of becoming deadened. Dreams like this, however, are rare; mostly the child appears as a positive symbol.

• Chains
  Chains symbolize a tie or a bond. This can apply, in a positive sense, to marriage. The negative significance of chains is imprisonment. A shackle in a dream, and also the familiar fashionable gold chain round the ankle, can imply masochistic tendencies.

• Burial
  A statistical evaluation of well over a thousand dreams showed that dreams of burials, dying and the dead are the most frequent of all. The dream symbolism corresponds to the real-life experience that it is often necessary for unfulfillable wishes or matters of conflict to be 'buried' once and for all. Of course, the image of a burial can also indicate painful experiences. The decisive factor is the further development in the dream. For the psyche, death represents a process of change. Frequently something new replaces that which has been symbolically buried.
