The Dream Book of Self-Knowledge
- a tied female goat: a marriage under control.
- a tied male goat: the male procreative force that leads a person into marriage is fully under control.
- tied animals (usually dogs): enables the dreamer to free himself, if only temporarily, from instincts (see the individual animals); permanent liberation from instinctual personification only comes with compassion for the tied animals.
- an object tied to a person: symbolizes a dependency that is expressed by the symbol of the attached object.
