An interpretation of collective unconscious dreams

An interpretation of collective unconscious dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. The collective unconscious is a big concept and can only be covered briefly. It originates with Carl Jung, who proposed that the unconscious mind of the individual connects with the unconscious minds of all individuals—those alive today and throughout the history of the human species. In the words of Victor Daniels, emeritus professor of psychology at Sonoma State University, the collective unconscious is “[t]hat aspect of the unconscious which manifests inherited, universal themes which run through all human life. Inwardly, the whole history of the human race, back to the most primitive times, lives on in us.” In it are structures called archetypes that are the foundation of the psyche and provide the basic patterns for drives, desires, thoughts, and motivations found in all people. Archetypes are formed by the collective experience of all people. They are powerful psychological forces, and they’re like a river that runs through everyone. The archetypes of the collective unconscious are the anima in males, and the animus in females. See: Animas, Animuses The modern conception of the collective unconscious describes it as a sort of internet of the mind, a communication network that passes information without apparent causation. That information usually takes the form of summaries or aggregates, but some theorists have gone as far as to say that the collective unconscious can facilitate communication directly between individuals, and it explains psi or paranormal phenomenon such as telepathy and precognition. If the collective unconscious truly is an internet of the mind, it means that outside forces and influences can act on you through your dreams. Read that last sentence again. This subject is important in relation to dreams because the unconscious mind is where dreams originate, in an archetype that Jung referred to as “the Self.” The Self is the complete picture of the person, including potential. See: Psyches The collective unconscious is the source of dreams of the utmost importance for you and your life, even for all of humanity, because through it the collective speaks to the individual and drives him or her to action.
