Dream 167 highlights a deep, systemic conflict within the collective familial unconscious. The ritual of tonsure signifies the shedding of vanity and the Ego. The traditional order dictates the men undergo this sacrifice; however, led by the erratic "mama," the masculine archetype attempts to force this sacrifice onto the women. Psychologically, this is an act of severe Shadow Projection—the conscious mind (the masculine) refusing to do the hard work of Ego-death and inappropriately demanding the Anima (the inner feminine) bear the burden instead. The arrival of the police signifies the psyche's healthy Super-Ego stepping in to halt this unnatural dysfunction and enforce moral order.
