The Seba library treats Boulder in 3 passages, across 3 authors (including Hoeller, Stephan A., Edinger, Edward F., Moore, Thomas).
In his dream he saw ‘high up on a high place’ a boulder in the full sun. Carved into it were the words: ‘Take this as a sign of the wholeness you have achieved and the singleness you have become.’
Hoeller records Jung’s final dream vision in which a sun-drenched boulder bearing an inscription of wholeness and singleness functions as the ultimate archetypal confirmation of individuation.

A huge boulder from the top of one of the buildings comes crashing to the ground, almost hitting me. The dreamer’s association to the boulder was Peter, the rock upon which Christ built his church.
Edinger interprets a dream-boulder falling from a skyscraper as an instance of coagulatio — a densifying, grounding movement — and links it to the symbolic weight of the Petrine rock in religious transformation.
, Anatomy of the Psyche: Alchemical Symbolism in Psychotherapy, 1985thesis
On a small, knobby hill deep in the cemetery is Emerson’s grave, marked by a large, red-streaked boulder that contrasts with the typical gray rectangular gravestones all around him.
Moore reads Emerson’s red-streaked boulder gravestone as a soulful, imaginative object that externalizes the philosopher’s love of nature and marks the site as genuinely sacred.
