Jung’s Dreamwork: The Symbolic Landscape Freud Couldn’t Enter

Carl Jung’s dreamwork expanded the landscape Freud created, shifting dream interpretation from disguised wish‑fulfillment to symbolic communication from the unconscious. Jung believed dreams guide the dreamer toward psychological wholeness through archetypes, mythic imagery, and the individuation process. His method emphasized amplification, cultural symbolism, and active imagination, creating a dreamwork tradition that remains influential in modern psychology, spirituality, and symbolic analysis.
