C.G. Jung: “Dreams are the speech of my soul.”





C.G. Jung, On the Soul and Dreams

“I must learn the dregs of my thought, my dreams, are the speech of my soul.

I must carry them in my heart, and go back and forth over them in my mind, like the words of the person dearest to me.

Dreams are the guiding words of the soul.

Why should I henceforth not love my dreams and not make their riddling images into objects of my daily consideration?

You think that the dream is foolish and ungainly.

What is beautiful?

What is ungainly?

What is clever?

What is foolish?

The spirit of this time is your measure, but the spirit of the depths surpasses it at both ends.”

    I treasure connecting with my inner self, my soul.
    Thank you for carrying the torch to bring this to light.
    Our sense of peace depends on our self reflection, compassion and gratitude.
