Book Description
Back Cover copy
What happens when we dream? What do dreams mean? Can we learn anything from them? In answering such questions the visionary thinker Carl Gustav Jung revolutionized our understanding of dreams and their significance. Jung - who claimed to analyse around 2,000 dreams a year - believed that attending to our dreams is vital if we are to attend to our true selves. 'Because dreams are the most common and most normal expression of the unconscious psyche,' he argued, 'they provide the bulk of the material for its investigation.' From his 1909 guide to dream analysis to his detailed advice on dream symbolism over forty years later, Dreams includes all his most important writings on the subject. It offers a fully illustrated survey of the subject that is without parallel.
