The Dream Book of Self-Knowledge

Haste

  • symbolizes the projection of one's views and own thinking into the figure of a hasty person with one goal: to assimilate this haste first through understanding, and then through patient explanation to achieve compassion with this person, with the image of oneself in the recent past.
  • we deal with, see or feel hasty behavior when we need to rid ourselves of this quality; triumph over the haste in our own behavior will occur when we are able to tolerate it in a dream; this is not a weakness, but the triumph of tolerance, from which understanding and compassion are born.
