A Day of Classical Jungian Thought: Understanding Symbols in Dreams
Original Lecture Date: February 15, 2020
Recording Length: 2 hours
This presentation will encompass a day of classical Jungian theory. We will be discussing the reality of the psych as it reveals itself in dream and fairytale.
In the morning presentation, we will discuss dreams, uncovering their meaning, timing and guidance in our lives. Dreams are a rich storehouse and commentary for displaying personal and collective information. The understanding of the symbolic opens the images revealed in dreams as they intuitively embody profound insight into the nature and dynamics of the human psyche. The interpretation of dreams from amplification to active imagination uncover their metaphoric and mysterious language. Dreams are vehicles for the embodiment of the invisible and the unconscious and render it accessible through metaphor and image.
This presentation of material on Jungian dream work includes audience participation. Dreams are a back and forth flow and a reflection of personal, cultural and collective issues specific to and yet beyond each era.
