Course 

How dream images can guide our paths toward a fuller and more meaningful life? In Part II of Psychology and Alchemy, C.G. Jung uses a dream series of a young man to illustrate the unconscious processes at work.

Jung writes, “As manifestations of conscious processes the dreams rotate or circumambulate round the centre, drawing closer to it as the amplifications increase in distinctness and in scope.”

This unfolding process leads the dreamer toward a new personality center that Jung calls the “self.” Throughout this dream-series study, Jung focuses on the archetypal symbols of unity known as mandala symbolism. How are mandala symbols shown to be present in the initial dreams and throughout the individuation process?

In this course we will focus on the mandala symbolism in a dream series, the psychic process as seen through the dream images, and the individual dream symbolism in relation to alchemy.

Reading: Psychology and Alchemy, CW 12, Part II. Course format is "read and discuss".
