| Old
Man, old wise man
The
dream image of a strange old man is, according to Jung, the archetypal
figure of the sage. Here we have a timeless symbol of order.
Dreams in which this symbol appears tell us that it is inadvisable simply
to reject the acquired knowledge of generations as out-of-date and old-fashioned.
The image of an old man can also be symbolic expression of inflexibility
and incompatibility.
