“Dreams can be understood as messages from the unconscious.”

“Working extensively with dreams has convinced me that of each occasion of a dream, the psyche provides the best, most nuanced, symbol to represent a particular situation as appropriate for the deep meaning of the dream.”

“The work of dream analysis is to derive as much meaning from a symbol as one can. This meaning informs the life of the dreamer.”

“Associations are the personal experiences an individual associates with a particular symbol or dream. image.”

“We could say that amplifications are collective associations based upon shared human experience as expressed in books, films, science, religion, mythology and fairytales.”

“. . . whenever we find a feeling or emotion associated with an image or an attribute, we can be sure there is some significance there.”

“Sometimes there is no apparent context for a dream, and then we can be assured that the dream refers to what is going on in one’s inner life.”

“Often we will only retain a dream fragment. These can still be valuable clues that are worth recording and bringing to analysis.”

“Sometimes the dreamer will recognize themselves, but at a different age, or with something different about themselves.”

“All emotions or feelings, and moods associated with a dream are very important to note.”

“By writing down your dream and considering associations, amplifications, the context and setting, characters, dream structure and emotional content, one is well on the way toward understanding the meaning of a dream.”

C.G. Jung    1875 -1961

“. . .the development of consciousness is the burden, the suffering, and the blessing of humankind.”  C.G. Jung, 1955

“A dream that is not understood remains a mere occurrence; understood it becomes a living experience.” C.G. Jung CW11: 497 

“The goal of the individuation process is the synthesis of the self.”   C.G. Jung  CW 9i: 278

“In every adult there lurks a child–an eternal child, something that is always becoming, is never completed, and calls for unceasing care, attention, and education.  That is the part of the personality which wants to develop and become whole.”  -C. G. Jung  CW17: 286
