The Bible and its symbolic meaning Philip Notley

The Bible can astound, terrify, amuse and inspire us but what is its true meaning. Whether we read it from a religious perspective or not symbolic meanings are clearly there in the text, but how can we understand the underlying meaning of the confusing images that impact so greatly on us when we read it? Our dreams are also composed of symbols, they are the forgotten language by which our inner world communicates its contents to us. It makes sense then to apply analytical dream interpretation methods to the Bible to try to throw light on its hidden meanings. When this is done the true significance of this symbolic "inner world of the Bible" comes to light showing how it too is communicating directly with our minds at the deepest of levels
