Reviews

If you ever wondered what it meant psychologically to dream of or to hurt any part of your lower limbs, this book will be a source of enlightenment, and a fun read. Cunha masterfully examines these images as he takes you on a journey through the world of symbols and archetypes to explore their meaning in significant cultural stories and through the mythology of ancient and indigenous cultures. One learns a lot about individuation along the way. - Nancy Swift Furlotti, Ph.D., Jungian analyst, USA; author of The Dream and its Amplification
