rabbits were my favourite animal as a child, so lots of positive associations. As I also have a long dream series of lost children, I think the rabbits are indeed to do with inner child work and I understand that rabbits that have been forgotten and died are to do with a self that got lost early on. But I really don't get the the woman who bakes them all in an oven. As the larger rabbit is sitting really still, terrified, as she inserts the smaller rabbits, I don't sense a coniunctio. In the dream she is doing this to stop so many rabbits running freely around. She says instead of hitting them all on the head with a spade, this is the way to deal with them.

What else do you pick up about the figure? Does she seem quite menacing while doing this act?

I suppose the idea of the coniunctio came up because it reminded me of that strange dish turducken, where you place a turkey, duck, and chicken each into one another and cook it. It goes from being a single animal...to a mixture of all 3!

I guess a question that comes to mind is, why can't the rabbits run freely? Why do they have to be dealt with?

Excellent question! I will go think about this figure ... probably some problematic me-aspect. thanks.
