Where these readings come from
Every symbol in this dictionary carries two readings side by side, and neither replaces the other. The traditional interpretation comes from the classical literature of Ibn Sirin and al-Nabulsi, where a dream is taken as a sign of what is to come and a symbol's meaning is largely fixed. The psychological view follows Jung and Freud: there a dream speaks not about the future but about the dreamer, and a symbol stands for something the person has repressed or cannot yet name. That is why the same symbol can read differently, even oppositely, under the two headings. The context section follows from the same idea: one symbol reads differently depending on who saw it and what happened in the dream.
