Every interpretation is an hypothesis, an attempt to read an unknown text. An obscure dream, taken in isolation, can hardly ever be interpreted with any certainty. For this reason I attached little importance to the interpretation of single dreams. A relative degree of certainty is reached only in the interpretation of a . . . → Read More: Jung: Dream Interpretation is a Hypothesis

I leave theory aside as much as possible when analyzing dreams–not entirely, of course, for we always need some theory to make things intelligible. It is on the basis of theory, for instance, that I expect dreams to have a meaning. I cannot prove every case that this is so, for there . . . → Read More: Jung on Not Using a Dream Theory

When a dream apparently disguises something and a particular person therefore seems indicated, there is an obvious tendency at work not to allow this person to appear, because, in the sense of the dream, he represents a mistaken way of thinking or acting. When, for instance, as not infrequently happens in women’s . . . → Read More: Dreams Mistaken Identities Explained

Owl Head Stand by Thomas Woodruff
Nature is often obscure or impenetrable, but she is not, like men, deceitful. We must therefore take it that the dream is just what pretends to be, neither more nor less. If it shows something in a negative light, there is no reason for assuming . . . → Read More: Dreams, Like Nature, Do not Deceive

Dream Line by Goodfoot42
I take the dream for what it is. The dream is such a difficult and complicated thing but I do not dare to make any assumptions about its possible cunning or its tendency to deceive. The dream is a natural occurrence, and there is no earthly reason . . . → Read More: Jung: The Dream is a Natural Occurrence

"Whispers of Aloha," Zentangle Inspired Art by Lois Heinani Stokes, CZT®
As individuals we are not completely unique, but are like all other men. Hence the dream with a collective meaning is valid in the first place for the dreamer, but it expresses at the same time the fact that his . . . → Read More: When the Dream has Collective Meaning

Anyone sufficiently interested in the dream problem cannot have failed to observe that dreams also have a continuity forwards–if such an expression be permitted–since dreams occasionally exert a remarkable influence on the conscious mental life even of persons who cannot be considered superstitious or particularly abnormal.

If we want to interpret the dream correctly, we need a thorough knowledge of the conscious situation at that moment, because the dream contains its unconscious complement, that is, the material which the conscious situation has constellated in the unconscious. Without this knowledge it is impossible to interpret a dream correctly, except . . . → Read More: Dream Material as Constellations of the Unconscious

I call every interpretation which equates the dream images with real objects an interpretation on the objective level. In contrast to this is the interpretation which refers every part of the dream and all the actors in it back to the dreamer himself. This I call interpretation on the subjective level.

Everyone who analyzes the dreams of others should constantly bear in mind that there is no simple and generally known theory of psychic phenomena, neither with regard to their nature, nor to their causes, nor to their purpose. We therefore possess no general criterion of judgment. We know that there are all . . . → Read More: Jung: There is No Dream Theory, per se
