An interpretation of general thinking dreams

An interpretation of general thinking 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. Carl Jung developed a theory of personality types based on four primary mental functions, aka cognitive processes, and today’s MBTI test is based on Jung’s original work. It’s a subject that goes so deep that this book can’t do it justice. However, it is an important base of knowledge for dream psychology and specifically for understanding certain dream characters, which can be representations of mental functions, and certain groups of characters, which can be representations of how the mental functions interact. Which ones predominate? Which ones take a back seat? See: Groups To explore the theories behind personality types, visit: cognitiveprocesses.com.
