The previous post, a quote about animals in dreams, points out that animals in dreams are expressions of our instincts. Jungians typically see dream figures as archetypes, and archetypes as instincts ... And I agree, even though I don't wish to be labeled as Jungian, although I mostly agree with those views and I turn to Jungian writers for understanding about ... everything. Omigosh, I might be Jungian.
Anyway, if frightening animals in dreams are instincts that need to be reintegrated, then the animals that we are on friendly terms with are conversely the animal-instincts that we have incorporated as part of our psychological make-up, which sounds almost academic but is actually really cool ~ ! To be friends with the primal animal instinct is to befriend one's self.
