Carl Jung
The architect of the Collective Unconscious and pioneer of archetype integration.
The Core Philosophy
Jung diverged from his mentor Freud by proposing that our dreams connect us to a deeper, shared human memory called the 'collective unconscious'. Dreams are not merely repressed taboo desires, but profound signals designed to guide our conscious lives.
Archetypes in Dreams
Dreams often feature common universal figures. The Shadow might represent unintegrated parts of ourselves we deny. The Hero might represent our ego's struggle. The Anima/Animus represents the unconscious masculine or feminine qualities within us.
The Aim of Individuation
In Jungian practice, dream symbols are forward-looking tools. They are maps for future psychological growth, guiding the dreamer toward 'individuation' — the lifelong journey of becoming a whole, profoundly authentic self.
