That’s really interesting. I had a dream a week ago where I was in a gigantic barn that was in the early stages of development. I was walking up some stairs when I started to notice that some of the stairs were missing. The higher I climbed the more stairs were missing and the entire frame of the structure looked rickety. Perhaps Jung would suggest that my dream is telling me that what I want to achieve isn’t possible or that it’s not what I should be aiming for in the first place. A lofty goal indeed, pun intended.
Sharing dreams is so cool! I might have to do a video on mine at some point. Jung says that our dreams can also give us an idea of where we are on the road to individuation, how much the unconscious is being accepted and integrated in to the conscious self, so such a stair case might show that you are certainly on your way! I love that. I would love to have such a dream. Feels so mythological.
@@philosophy_schilling Have you been journaling your dreams consistently? I only ask because after a few years of doing it I was having trouble with false memories and at one point a character from a dream made an appearance when I was awake so I stopped recording them. Just curious if you have had any experiences like that?
Jung in "On Synchronicity" says that dreams can definitely foreshadow happenings/events because our psyches can transcend space and time (so it isn't really predicting the future because everything already exists and has - so not truly a "future'). I definitely am starting to write them down or video record them just so I don't forget, but I'm pretty unorganized and chaotic about it. I should be more scientific and systematic about it, but I'm not sure that is my personality. I def. think it takes intentionality when open to all of this to stay grounded.
