I agree about dreams, but I don't know that Jung was quite so prescriptive; he tends to eschew frameworks himself. He essentially says about dreams: we don't know why they work, but they do.
- dwringer 5y agoFrom my limited readings I think you are correct, Jung's technique seems very dissimilar to Freud's. AFAIU Jung emphasized that the terminology used unconsciously by the patient in first describing a dream contained most if not all material from which to derive potential theraputic benefit, and that dwelling on some deeper meaning or symbolism was generally a waste of time as then the patient (or therapist!) begins seeing what they want to see.
