Prenatal life; the vagina; the process of reproduction and birth. Also: An entrance to our unconscious; the void we face at the end of individuation. We may experience this as an empty cave in which we thought there would be spiritual upliftment or treasure. It then confronts us with whether we can let go of the huge effort and drive which led us through the rigours of the spiritual adventure. Can we let the self-existent life open is us beyond our personal effort?; in some dreams a real contact with the forces of our evolutionary journey. We may find in the cave: A fear of madness or being lost; a sense of meeting the divine; our own traumas or destiny; a meeting with death and rebirth. See: catacomb and crypt; unconscious; last few paragraphs in individuation..
