The Dream Book of Self-Knowledge

Mobilization

  • intended to increase the dreamer's alertness and often accompanies the Apocalypse archetype.
  • successful mobilization or great powers in mobilization: indicate attentive conscious living which in time inevitably passes from meditative states to dreams, such as life "on autopilot."*44
  • can also be a preparation for the future death of the ego (being killed in the war); see Hero archetype or Attentiveness archetype.
  • in some especially emotional dreams, the unconscious can show the dreamer a mobilization that will take place in the far or near future (see Past and Future Visions archetype).
  • of inner capabilities: enables complex situations to be overcome and essentially foretells of a changed course in life.
