The aim of this evening’s lecture is to learn how to interpret dreams using Carl Jung’s Analytical Psychology. We will start with an overview of Carl Jung’s ideas, then work through a Jungian approach to dream interpretation. C.G. Jung viewed the dream as offering a snapshot of our mental condition as it is now. This means that the dream tells us vital information about how we are living our life, and alerts us to areas that we are neglecting or misunderstanding.
