The Dream Book of Self-Knowledge

Soot

  • symbolizes the consequences of the dreamer's sexual acts and the remnants of burnt instinctual dependencies.
  • cleaning a stove or chimney: the attempt to more effectively burn instinctual symbols and dependencies; if, in cleaning, the dreamer becomes dirty from soot, then he clearly has not managed the most recent period of the self-improvement process, has committed moral transgressions and will bear the unfortunate consequences of a relationship that is emotionally pronounced.
