There are root dreams that represent basic inner experiences. Initially no images are involved. If you remember the dreams, you remember them with images however. Flying dreams are an example here. They are not symbolic of anything, basically speaking. They represent direct experience.

Falling dreams also belong to the root dream category. They also represent direct experience, as the inner self once more reenters the physical body. No up or down really exists, you see, but the root assumptions take these directions for granted, and the fear of falling is a learned response. It is learned early, but it is learned.

With some individuals some of these dreams may also represent personal symbolisms, but the original dream in the raw, unembellished, is a root dream. The embellishments are added after the dream is completed, just before the point when you remember it on a conscious level. The embellishments may be portions of other dreams, recalled now out of context, and attached to your memory of the original root dream.

Geometric figures represent the most simple and basic root assumptions. When I have perceived the emotional charges connected with any given experimental object, then my first step in interpretation involves such abstract forms.
