Animals and Animal Dreams III

Cow, Octopus, and Snake

hardcover, 192 pages, illustrated, ISBN 978-3-9525713-4-7, Living Human Heritage

What do a cow, octopus and snake have in common? Well, nothing really! As in fairy tales, such animals appear in dreams seemingly for no reason and without any apparent connection. In dreams, some can talk: others are helpful or sometimes dangerous. Far from being random, their appearance in dreams always have a hidden meaning. Tracing this meaning is like going on an adventurous excursion into the mysterious background of human nature. Careful interpretation of important animal dreams according to the methodology of C.G. Jung’s depth psychology always yields surprising results. Based on a selection of dreams, and in a readily accessible way, this book provides the cow, the octopus, and the snake with the chance to have their own say about their symbolic Meaning!
