Ring

The ring is a circle worn — commitment rendered visible. Wedding rings are its most familiar form, but signet rings, oath rings, and the ring in Wagner’s Ring Cycle all speak to the same deep symbolism: a bond that encloses. Jungian analysis reads ring-dreams as commitments the psyche is considering — to a relationship, a vocation, a sovereignty of self. Losing a ring often signals a commitment the dreamer is reconsidering; finding a ring, a commitment being offered; a ring that will not come off, a bond that has grown into the self. Notice whose ring it is and on which finger.
