The Alchemy of Our Dreams
April 19, 1997 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm PDT
For Jung, “the world of alchemical symbols definitely does not belong to the rubbish heap of the past, but stands in a very real and living relationship to our most recent discoveries concerning the psychology of the unconscious.”
In alchemy, Jung found the sensibility of modern science and dynamic depth psychology. Alchemical imagery in the dreams of modern men and women describes states of mid and body, of psyche and matter. As life is a moving process, we dream alchemically: of fire, air, water, earth; shapes and colors, planets and plants, ores and metals, rocks, stones and gems; fountains and couldrons; exiles, orphans and widows; strange couples and odd lovers.
