Jung was one of the primary theorists who added to our
understanding of the psychological significance of dreams, and
working with dreams is often a central part of an analytic process.
What is the Jungian understanding of why we dream? What does it
mean if we don't dream, and what are some ways of learning to work
with dreams? We discuss things one can do to help with dream
recall, and ponder whether we dream all day long, even when awake.
We also talk about the nature of symbols in dreams and dream
series.
Here's the Dream We Analyze:
"I ran into a male friend who I have not seen for a few
years in the lobby of a ridiculously high-end hotel. I was wearing
only a towel. He asked me to join him in his room, which was called
“the mermaid aquarium,” along with a female friend of his who was
already in the room. Somewhere along the line in the hotel lobby he
bought me orange-scented perfume. I found his room. I just remember
entering the room and seeing two nude women lying on the bed
wearing exotic jewelry."
