Dreams

Author, psychiatrist and scholar, painter, world traveller, and above all visionary dreamer, Carl Jung was one of the great figures of the 20th century. This text is a comprehensive compilation of his work on dreams. Weaving a narrative that encompasses all of his major themes - mysticism, religion, culture and symbolism - Jung brings a wealth of allusion to the collection. He identifies such issues as the filmic quality of some dreams, and the differences between "personal dreams" - dreams that exist on the individual level - and "big dreams" - dreams that we all experience, that come from the collective unconscious. This text provides an introduction to Jung's concepts for those unfamiliar with his work.
