About this ebook
A penetrating account of Jung’s insights into children’s dreams and the psychology of childhood
In the 1930s, C. G. Jung embarked on a bold investigation into childhood dreams as remembered by adults to better understand their significance to the lives of the dreamers. Jung presented his findings in a four-year seminar series at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. Presented here in an inspired English translation, these seminars reveal Jung as an impassioned educator in dialogue with his students, providing an invaluable picture of how he taught others to interpret dreams. Here we witness Jung the clinician more vividly than ever before—he is witty, impatient, sometimes authoritarian, always wise and intellectually daring, but also a teacher who, though brilliant, could be humbled by life’s great mysteries. This splendid volume is the fullest representation of Jung’s views on the interpretation of children’s dreams.
