"Gady" i "ryby" akvariumnogo otobraženiâ : vzaimnaâ obuslovlennost' i svâzannost' obraznyh komponentov

Abstract

Based on the fish tank symbolism in the dream books some features are derived and determined. These features are typical of the reception and feeling of the so-called imaginative pictures which are typical of imagining, feeling, experiencing and realizing of the conceptual-assessing and sensitive impressions. The assumptions connected with the observation of the object, as well as with being there (i.e. in a fish tank), are presented and discussed. These are the features which are determined both separately and mutually and they describe the states in question. The reptiles and fish (mentioned in the title), according to the interpretations quoted, are both the element which fills up a fish tank and the projection of its positive character (or a negative one in the case of its absence). On the other hand, in a non-visible but perceptible way they become involved with the subject that is observing them in a fish tank and then with a human being and that human being is to some extent identified with that subject. All those elements mentioned above, together with the characterized semantics of those images (i.e. a fish tank with reptiles and fish inside), are the key to understanding the way the human consciousness is able to transfer itself into another existence, with the interpretation of the visible and non-visible world as experienced by the human.
