In his collective work (18) The symbolic life: Miscellaneous writings. C.G.Jung writes -
“Therefore, first of all, when you handle a dream you say ‘I don’t understand a word of that dream.’ I always welcome that feeling of incompetence because then I know I shall put some good work into my attempt to understand the dream. What I do is this. I adopt the method of the philologist, which is far from being free of association and apply a logical principle which is called amplification. It is simply that of seeking the parallels. That is how we learned to read hieroglyphics and cuneiform inscriptions and that is how we read dreams.” C.G. Jung (The symbolic Life CW 18, Par.173)
And in collective work (17)
Development of personality
“Coming now to the much-disputed question of dream-analysis, we proceeded in a manner not unlike that employed in the deciphering of hieroglyphs. First we assemble all the Available material which the dreamer himself can give as regards the dream images. We next excuse the next statement that depends upon particular theoretical assumptions, for those are generally quite arbitrary attempts at interpretation. We then inquire into the happenings of the previous day, as well as into the mood and the general plans and purposes of the dreamer in the days and weeks preceding the dream. A more or less intimate knowledge of his circumstances and character is of course a necessary prerequisite. Great care and attention must be given to this preparatory work if we want to get at the meaning of the dream. I have no faith in dream interpretations Made in the spur of the moment and conducted out of some preconceived theory. “ (C. G. Jung Development of Personality CW 17, Par. 263)
Firstly remember that there’s 4 points to know.
1) mind your attitude when approaching something inward and unknown. Kill assumptions about what you think you know about symbols. A B won’t = C This thinking gets in the way and prevents progress.
2) collect and amplify Collect all information. See the whole not the parts. Move out ward In dreams and explore inner space to see the earth of your dreams. Collect all information available.
3)History. Day to day. Reflect on your reasons moods and perspectives leading up to a dream. Evaluate why you are and how to improve
4)Self care and mindfulness. (patience) Meditation and mindfulness next to self care of the body and environment allows information and clarity about what to do to come in from your subconscious and surroundings. This information is always present and waiting for you to slow down and allow it to flow freely through you and your nervous systems. This really pivots on your ability to not listen to ego say “this is doing nothing “ as it’s being dissolved. The ego will always want to try and logically decrypt any problem it can get it’s hands on. The goal is to not listen to its list of A B=C because in the mind that isn’t the case. You must reach the point of non focus where you are only your breathing and awareness of the air and movements around you. (I literally become my room) be detected but give it energy to grow.
In short. It’s understanding your internal traits. A dual exchange between male and female energies like a magnet has negative and positive. ☯️ when you can live in the middle of them and not be lulled by duality of one or the other. You see that all is dual and together as a whole from above. They’re 1. You.
