The Dream Book of Self-Knowledge

Controlling

  • the dreamer is able to wilfully control and manage dream images: see Imagination.
  • by will: an exceptional dream since the dreamer, through complete control of a dependency, raises at least temporarily his experiences to the spiritual level, which usually entails an ability of the active imagination*41 – wilfully flying (see Active Imagination archetype).
  • controlling something by applying pressure: if the dreamer is able to easily control it, then this is a very positive image of the conscious processing of the content of his own mind.
  • a puppet: this image indicates the dreamer's relationship to subordinate people.
  • time: see Time.
