The Dream Book of Self-Knowledge

Grail

  • a Christian symbol, a mythological goblet with the blood of Jesus Christ.
  • appears quite rarely in dreams since high moral purity must be maintained to see it – a purity in which we do not at all waver from the highest spiritual ideals of Christianity.
  • quest for the holy grail: although it resembles an external journey through the world, it is only down this path that a person, by way of internalization, reaches the only true grail – in his heart.
  • the brave knight's quest for the holy grail: an allegory of the inner spiritual journey.
