| Eagle |
As a dream symbol, the eagle embodies an archaic image of god, of lofty, high-soaring thoughts, but also of devouring spiritual passion. First and foremost, the eagle symbolizes a positive spiritual situation. A sexual significance can be traced in Greek myth, where the eagle symbolizes the procreative function of Zeus, who approached the star goddess Asteria as an eagle. The image of the union of the eagle and goddess symbolizes the union of to opposites -- psyche and the material world. The image of an eagle which is unable to fly well signifies limitation of spiritual freedom or neglect of spiritual interests. |
