The Dream Book of Self-Knowledge

Cheese

  • a not overly strong sexual symbol, the sexuality of the symbol is almost non-existent with hard cheeses.
  • with mold on the surface: see Ermine.
  • with mold inside: expresses the radical change of this symbol within the psyche; when the cultivated mold transforms the sexual essence into new, often emotional substances.
  • processed, especially liquid-like: means ejaculation.
  • the shape of the cheese or its cover may be important for interpreting the dream; these shapes can then be informative for controlling the sexual essence of this symbol.
  • with holes (e.g. Swiss cheese): symbolizes the female maternal element in the dreamer's consciousness.
