Jungian Dream Interpretation
Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1960) believed in the existence of the unconscious. However, he does not see the unconscious as animalistic, instinctual, or sexual; he sees it as more spiritual. Eventually, Jung split with Freud due to their differing views on dreams.
According to Jung, dreams are a way of communicating and acquainting yourself with the unconscious. Dreams are not attempts to conceal your true feelings from the waking mind, but rather they are a window to your unconscious. They serve to guide the waking self to achieve wholeness and offer a solution to a problem you are facing in your waking life.
Jung views the ego as your sense of self and how you portray yourself to the world. Part of Jung's theory is that all things can be viewed as paired opposites: good/evil, male/female, or love/hate. So working in opposition to the ego, is the "counterego" or what he refers to as the shadow. The shadow represents the rejected aspects of yourself that you do not wish to acknowledge. The shadow is more primitive, somewhat uncultured, and a little awkward.
Hi Paolo, hope I haven't gatecrashed :-))very interested in symbolism and dreams bridging the unconscious world to the conscious-love the idea for the group.
Hi Paolo...Thanks - I've finally found a group where I can show my dream pictures. Dreams are for a sometimes very nice and for some with a lot of anxiety connected. The dreams for me is the mirror image of reality. I hope the group can do something with my dream images. Thank you and greetings from Bavaria - the dream land. (after all, lived here King Ludwig II - ;)
Aloha Dear Paolo, just joined per your invitation. Wonderful, deep imagery here. Will be posting when there is something appropriate and look forward to participating here. With warm aloha!
This looks very interesting, I am honored to have been invited! I shall see what I have that would work with the theme; the pieces you've chosen are wonderful, but then you know I am a fan.
