The Dream Book of Self-Knowledge

Lubricating/spreading

  • spreading on bread: see Bread.
  • a machine, motor, machinery: the attempt at easier progress through life; sometimes also a symbol of karma*26, that puts into motion one of the dreamer's sexual or emotional relationships.
  • with grease: see greasing.
  • waxing skis: symbolizes the desire to again move more easily in a certain setting and in certain conditions, but the sexual effect of the symbol on the dreamer is intensified through this effort.
  • ointment (medicine): see Medicine.
  • erasing records, information: see Liquidation.
  • rubbing oil on the head, feet or entire body: has a deep mystical meaning in dream symbolism; a foreshadowing of important acts in self-improvement; similar anointing appears in Christianity and in Judaism.
  • rubbing oil on hands: does not have in dream symbolism as deep a mystical meaning as rubbing the head, feet or entire body, but still foretells of successful acts in self-improvement.
