Mood and dream foreshadow the ideal effectiveness of our soul on behalf of ourselves and others. They indicate for us, each in its own way, that an operational soul is available for us and places in our hands the means whereby we may arrive at, or attain to, this greatest of all benefits within reach of every human being. It makes sense that once we have worked our way through this possibility a few times, we will be much less afraid of, and less vulnerable in the presence of, depressions and elations in ourselves and others, while images and symbols, as we accidentally produce them ourselves and as they crop up like weeds all around us, will cause us less anxiety and tempt us less frequently.
