I started writing down super-brief summaries of parts of my dreams on a near daily basis a while back.
There are absolutely clear connections between things I've seen, heard or experienced recently and things which show up in dreams. One curious aspect of this is that there's often a delay of at least several days between the actual event and when something like it shows up in a dream, usually after I've stopped consciously thinking about it.
- mactavish88 3y agoMy understanding of Jung’s hypothesis about this was that every facet of the dream (the scene, the characters, etc.) is you - your psyche. In other words, your subconscious is effectively using those images as puppets to act out a play of sorts that reveals or releases some kind of tension.
