The psychology of C. G Jung has been pivotal in the development of understanding imagination, symbol, and dreams. Jung, as well as Freud, discovered that dreams attempt to offer regulation and balance to body, mind and spirit. The dream can act in a way to reveal distress and disharmony as well as offer creative ideas and new potential to our daily lives. Jung found that in sleep, the dream could help to awaken unlived, unconscious or hidden aspects of the personality.
Learning to pay attention to our dreams can offer new meaning to our lives, and when followed or listened to, can often help solve dilemmas that otherwise fall into the unconscious, or even become a symptom held in the body.
This presentation will invite participants to consider the structure of a dream, as developed by C.G. Jung. The ability to recall and amplify dream material, images, and symbols will be discussed. There will be consideration of the differences between waking dreams such as active imagination and sandplay and dreams that emerge from sleep.
Dreams can be remembered with known and unknown aspects, creating a tension or duality. When one works with the dream, the hope is to arrive at a new association or meaning, which offers a transcendent product from the unconscious. Out of a tension of opposites emerges a third aspect, which Jung referred to as the transcendent function.
Jung offered an understanding of how dreams can be compensatory for parts of the daily life that are out of balance or in disharmony. By studying the dream, balance can be restored to the personality. Sometimes it is the pure absurdity offered in the dream that may make us laugh or cry when remembering it. In either case, we are invited to allow reflection and adjustment to situations in our lives.
