• Frogs
  Men rarely dream of frogs, but more often of toads. In women's or girls' dreams, the frog has a similar significance to that in the well-known fairytale of the frog king by the Brothers Grimm. In this fairytale, the frog turns into a radiant prince. But this only happens after the princess, on her father the king's orders, has given the frog food from her plate and warmed him in her bed. The frog is an animal which lives partly on land and partly in water. It indicates a transitionary phase in the process of evolution of living things, and is in this respect a symbol of change or transformation. The frog's life in water refers to cold and still impersonal elemental nature. The fairytale tells us allegorically that this impersonal side of nature, which also plays a role in sexuality, can only be elevated into the sphere of an acceptable human relationship by spiritual nourishment and by being firmly embedded in human emotions.
  The toad is the symbol of the fertile, devouring mother-goddess, who is also the mother of death. A toad in a man's dream can, therefore, be seen as a warning signal.

• Fountain, spring
  In myths and fairytales, fountains and springs symbolize the origin of life. Stemming from the belief that it is womankind which continually renews life by childbirth, the fountain has acquired the symbolic meaning of the fountain of life.
