If we lean into strange experiences with gentle curiosity, we may discover a level of psyche that acts directly on objects.
Many of us have uncanny coincidences like thinking of a friend at the exact moment they ring us on the phone, but what about physical things breaking apart for no reason or luminous apparitions at our bedside? We often explain them away to reduce our anxiety, but Jung found them fascinating. He maintained a scientific attitude while accepting strange phenomena he could not explain. Eventually, he created a psychology of radical acceptance that creates space for the unexpected, including each person’s unique soul.
Prepare to discover where Jung’s interest in the paranormal came from, what strange psychic events changed his relationship with Freud, how Jung used a séance to complete his university degree, which strange spiritual experiences changed Lisa and Joe’s beliefs, whether the collective unconscious plays a part in extra-sensory abilities and even more…
HERE’S THE DREAM WE ANALYZE:
“I’m gathered with friends and family in an outdoor setting at our cottage. Accompanying us is a handsome fellow with long hair and his sister, whom I hope to flirt with. We’re preparing food for what seems like some festive celebration. My Aunt asks me to pass the cake for preparation, to which I sigh and reluctantly bring it to her. I can’t help but feel that I’m being selfish, but the truth is I can’t wait to get out of there. After bringing the cake, I decided to leave. As I pass through the community of cottages near the lake, I pass a pack of dogs that are somewhat hyena/dog in appearance, but they’re clearly domesticated, and I have no trouble. I go to my bed, lie down, and fall asleep. I open my eyes (unaware I’m still dreaming), and it’s night, but I can still see clearly under a full moon. In front of me, I see a bed just above the shoreline facing the lake with the dismembered body of the girl who attended the party. The white sheets splattered with blood, and only an arm and leg remain. Instantly, I feel a rush; electric fear, terror, and shame wash over my body like a tsunami as I feel I’ve done this to her. I wake up (unaware I am still in the dream) holding my dog curled up in a ball on the bed, which is comforting. Then I actually wake.” [Note: 2 years ago, in the same month, I had a similar dream of finding bones dug up at our lake with all the same emotions experienced.]
