Abstract: The purpose of the paper is to highlight the importance of symbolic communication and to synthesize the headway made so far in the understanding of this fundamental component of our conscious and unconscious mind. The extant definitions and descriptions of this process were briefly examined and its impact on human subjects was evaluated. The conclusions show the existence and manifestation of 2 types of symbolic communication and focus on the role played by the one employing motivated symbols in preserving and transmitting fundamental social values and in building a bridge between the real and the imaginary worlds, the present and the absent, the known and the unknown, the concrete and the abstract, and between men and universe.
