The Dream Book of Self-Knowledge

Turning, turn

  • turning to the left: wrong direction.
  • turning to the right: right direction.
  • 180° turn: expresses a reassessment of current view, a turn back and future course in a new direction with new views.
  • reversing the sense of things and meanings into a contradiction: a significant dream on the path of unifying antitheses (Asparsa Yoga*84).
  • reversing antitheses (usually good into evil and vice-versa): this is a typical trait of the mythological figure of the trickster*70, who tricks a person to remain in the world of antitheses even though he is a mediator between consciousness and matter or between God and nature (see Hero archetype).
  • dream turning within oneself: the result of introversion*63 in waking consciousness; a trigger of many archetypes.
