| Father |
Adults frequently experience their own father in a dream as a helpful figure. He reminds the dreamer of things he has taught him which are now forgotten, and embodies that aspect of the dreamer's personality which is formed by the father. As a rule, the father is a symbol of traditional order and of that nature authority which is vitally necessary. The father appears particularly frequently in the dreams of younger people. Here, he becomes the dreamer's opponent. With this image, the dream is broaching the question of the father in order to develop their own, independent personality. The dream is seeking to help the dreamer overcome his childish image of his father and to see him as the person he really is in real life. |
