An unprecedented, dreamwork-centered guide for exploring and understanding your dreams, presented by the hosts of the podcast This Jungian Life.
Three Jungian analysts bring you a resource like none before it - a comprehensive, step-by-step guide for every level of experience that synthesizes Carl Jung's renowned theories with the best approaches of those who've followed in his footsteps. The goal is to do dreamwork, not just learn about it.
The authors transform dreamwork concepts and principles into 69 keys to unlock the meaning of your dreams, illuminating:
- How dreamwork assists us on the path of becoming whole (what Jung called individuation)
- The three levels of dream imagery - personal associations, factual explanations and archetypal amplifications
- The shadow - the unconscious, unwelcome aspects of yourself that you can meet with the help of your dreams
- Animus/anima - the personification of our unrealized possibilities that urges us toward our highest destiny
- The practice of active imagination, Jung's technique for psychological healing and growth
- How to interpret your dreams, including case examples from the authors' professional practices, 16 daily strategies to boost dream recall and insights into the structure and dynamics of your dreams
