Also, for more about yang and the animus, read my interpretation of "Kae and the Whale" under the menu item "Husband, father, son". This tale has some of the Polynesian myth which inspired the movie "Whale rider".
Class 5, November 2nd: Dreams
First: read the fairy tale Sedna with its interpretation under menu item Narcissism and healing.
Second: read "The Essential Jung" selected by Anthony Storr: pp 168 - 189, "The practical use of dream analysis: CW 16 pars 294 - 352
Third: when getting a friend's dream to bring to class next week, if possible, ask the dreamer for his or her associations to the major images in the dreams. Association means whatever comes first into the dreamer's mind when you name the image (not what the dreamer thinks the image means). Please write down the associations as you hear them.
The association should be linked to affect (I like that, I hate that, that makes me sad). If the first association is objective, without affect, then ask for dreamer's association to the first association, until you get to an association connected to affect.
