You have just finished reading the section on dreams/myth. You also got an introduction into the field of dream analysis, with a particular focus on the application of Jung’s ideas regarding that process.
Here is your task for this paper:
You are to read the following dream, as told by the dreamer, a woman in her early 30’s who lived in Finland:
I was walking past the road leading to the highway. I don’t know how I got there, because I live so far from it. Suddenly a car swerved over and stopped in front of me and two people got out. Their faces were blurry – it was foggy outside. One of them asked me if I could help find a bus because they both were tired of driving. The other person looked like my sister when she was a child – she kept crying and blaming me for not helping. She was always like that until she died last year. Then I noticed I was back home, and both my parents were trying to feed our dog, but the dog kept jumping up and down at the window – I looked outside and saw the car the two had been in. When I asked my parents why they were yelling at me, they laughed and opened the door. The dog ran out and jumped in the car. Then I woke up.
First: What are your own first impressions about this story? “Off the top of your head” as it were, what is this about?
Second: If you were performing a Jungian analysis of this dream, what are three of the most important questions you would ask the dreamer and WHY would you ask each one?
Third: What conclusions could you possibly reach about the significance of this dream, based upon your own assumptions and focusing on what you have read about the Jungian analysis of a dream?
