The Book of Symbols: Reflections on Archetypal Images Hardcover – November 14, 2010
by Ami Ronnberg (Editor), Kathleen Martin (Editor)
"The Book of Symbols combines original and incisive essays about particular symbols with representative images from all parts of the world and all eras of history. The compelling texts and over 800 beautiful full-color images come together in a unique way to convey hidden dimensions of meaning. Each of the ca. 350 essays examines a given symbol’s psychic background, and how it evokes psychic processes and dynamics. Etymological roots, the play of opposites, paradox and shadow, the ways in which diverse cultures have engaged a symbolic image—all these factors are taken into consideration.
Authored by writers from the fields of psychology, religion, art, literature, and comparative myth, the essays flow into each other in ways that mirror the psyche’s unexpected convergences. There are no pat definitions of the kind that tend to collapse a symbol; a still vital symbol remains partially unknown, compels our attention and unfolds in new meanings and manifestations over time. Rather than merely categorize, The Book of Symbols illuminates how to move from the visual experience of a symbolic image in art, religion, life, or dreams to directly experiencing its personal and psychological resonance.
The Book of Symbols sets new standards for thoughtful exploration of symbols and their meanings, and will appeal to a wide range of readers: artists, designers, dreamers and dream interpreters, psychotherapists, self-helpers, gamers, comic book readers, religious and spiritual searchers, writers, students, and anyone curious about the power of archetypal images."
A pictorial and written archive of mythological, ritualistic, and symbolic images from all over the world and from all epochs of human history.

yesterday I was at the vet with Solimar and, at a certain moment, I was sharing that I’m a lucid dreamer and that Solimar accompanies me in some of my adventures. the context was that despite the fact of him being big and looking like a wolf, he’s the sweetest and best guardian we ever had the privilege to have in the family. everyone was deeply SILENT. great experience!
now I know… whenever I want silence in a room, I will start talking about my LD experiences… hihihi
thanks for sharing this video Beloved.
another precious nectar.
Beloved @Bianca_Aga Thank you for this. Awesome that they provide a really generious free sample of the text on Amazon:
I think this is one department where AI will never be as good as a qualified human, but for dreams that you have meditated on for a while with no success or dreams you are stuck on and havent made any progress, sometimes using AI can help, either by telling you what its not, or illuminating the path to what it may be.
Clearly its going to be limited and severely handicapped when dealing with Precognitive Dreams and Visitation Dreams.
I am going to post a section from Master TWR later that I think you will deeply appreciate.
Thank you my Friend for this text, and for helping teach me the importance and sacrosanct nature of dreams

How Dreams Arise
"Ensnared in dualistic vision, the conceptual mind divides the seamless unity of experience into conceptual entities and then relates to these mental projections as if they inherently exist as separate beings and things. This misunderstanding divides experience into self and other, and from the identification with only one aspect of experience-the self-preferences develop. This results in the arising of aversion and desire, which become the basis for both physical and mental actions. These actions (karmas) leave traces, conditioning the mind and resulting in more grasping and aversion, which lead to new karmic traces, and so on. This is the self-perpetuating cycle of karma.
During sleep, the mind is withdrawn from the sensory world. Karmic traces currently stimulated by the secondary causes necessary for their manifestation have a force or energy that is the karmic prana [wind]. Like the horse and rider in the analogy, the mind “rides” the karmic prana to the energetic center in the body related to the activated karmic trace. That is, the consciousness becomes focused in a particular chakra and a particular dimension of experience
In the interplay of mind, energy, and meaning, consciousness illuminates and is affected by the karmic traces. The karmic prana is the energy of the dream, the vital force, while the mind weaves the specific manifestations of the karmic traces- the color, light, emotions, and images- into the narrative that is the dream. This is the process resulting in samsaric dreams."
