Dreams
". . . As a general rule, the
unconscious aspect of any event is revealed to us in dreams, where it appears not as a
rational thought but as a symbolic image. . .. . . These subliminal aspects of everything that happens to us may seem to play very little part in our daily lives. But in dream analysis, where the psychologist is dealing with expressions of the unconscious, they are very relevant , for they are the almost invisible roots of our conscious thoughts. . .
. . . We should understand that dream
symbols are for the most part manifestations of a psyche that is beyond the control of the
conscious mind. Meaning and purposefulness are not the prerogatives of the mind; they
operate in the whole of living nature. There is no difference in principle between organic
and psychic growth. As a plant produces its flower, so the psyche creates its symbols. .
