In act III this group of themes is associated with (in Newman's words) the tortured winter sleep of Kundry. But it first appears in act II, when Klingsor conjures her from sleep.
Example (A) appears in the prelude to the third act, and then (B) in conjunction with the Prophecy motif in diminution (#6B). The motif returns in the earlier (A) form as Gurnemanz massages the cold, stiff body of Kundry into life again.
The next time a variant of the motif appears is at Gurnemanz's Heiligster Tag,
an dem ich heut' erwachen sollt!
Then example (B) returns, once more with #6B, while
Parsifal recounts his wanderings with the Spear. Here the motif seems to take on a significance
of spiritual, rather than physical, awakening.
