A Dictionary of Dream Symbols

by Eric Ackroyd
In the traditional circumcision ceremony a boy was transformed into a proper human being by having his animality symbolically removed.

NB Controlling unconscious drives does not mean repressing and neglecting them; it means giving them an appropriate place in your conscious life.
