The definitive guide to dreamwork and dream interpretation—Discover the secrets of your subconscious for spiritual self-healing and profound self-discovery
We all know our dreams have meaning, but their complexity, creativity, and complete vividness can seem impossible to decipher. Why did that suddenly appear? I haven’t thought of her in forever. What is all of this trying to tell me?
In this groundbreaking Jungian approach to dream interpretation and active imagination, Robert A. Johnson offers powerful and practical insight into discovering the depths of our psyche. He makes the astounding case for valuing our subconscious—all the unusual, imaginative, and sometimes intense aspects of our hidden persona—to better understand our conscious selves.
By offering a sweeping framework for decoding dreams and the symbolism the possess, this book exposes:
· How our dreams are entirely unique to us as individuals and cannot be interpreted collectively (a bird means one thing to one person and something else entirely to another)
· How the imaginative images we see in our dreams are actually us communicating to ourselves, and what happens when we learn to listen
· How to integrate our subconscious thoughts into our conscious patterns, and the shocking revelations that come from the harmony of the two
· How a four-step approach to dreamwork—associations, dynamics, interpretations and rituals—can bring us to a place of radical self-understanding and acceptance
Soulful, spiritual, and stunningly revelatory, Inner Work gives readers the tools to fully harness the power of their dreams and subconscious to become the best version of themselves—asleep and awake.
