The theorized interpretations of dreams by psychoanalyst Carl Jung were applicable to both genders. He referred to them as the collective unconscious. This world-renowned psychiatrist produced many works, both books and academic papers. His theories and Jung symbols are recognized around the world.
He placed great emphasis on dreams and the meanings that could be gleaned from their content. He identified his major archetypal characters and defined their symbolic meaning. There are seven noted in this article.
The Persona of an individual is the part of his personality that he shows to the public. In the sleep state this covert side of his personality is represented symbolically by another figure, possibly someone famous for a positive reason. If a dream is memorable, he may realize the famous figure that represents some part of himself.
The next archetype is The Shadow and he symbolizes your worst traits. These are the ones you try to hide from the world. In dreams, this Shadow appears in the role of some kind of monster. Seeing him in a dream makes you very angry.
According to these theories each person has a male and a female side. These are called Anima-Animus. These traits are not acknowledged while awake. While asleep a woman may be seen acting in a masculine way, growing a beard for example. A man may dream of wearing womens clothes.
Dr. Jungs concepts came from a different era since he died in 1960. The roles filled by male and female were sharply delineated in those earlier days. Men were considered weak if they cried. Women were raised to fill largely non-aggressive roles.
The Divine Child is the fourth archetype. A baby or young child represents this pure part of your personality when you dream. You are innocent and still reaching for your full potential and a place in the world.
The Wise Old Man or Woman is the expression of an authority figure in your waking life. It may be a teacher, priest or psychoanalyst, for example. This individual represents the helper who provides guidance.
The Great Mother was someone who nurtured you and would appear as your own mother or grandmother. This archetype would provide reassurance. He theorized that a mother might become jealous when her child turned away from her as he matured. He theorized that this negativity would appear as dominance or death.
The Trickster is the seventh archetype. His name describes exactly what he does. His appearance might signify an error made foolishly during the day. He would embody your extreme embarrassment. This Trickster is a troubling influence and may leave you feeling vulnerable and weak.
The writings of Jung included early works such as Psychology of the Unconscious. His theories have an impact on psychiatry to this day. His final book, Man and His Symbols, gave a vivid portrayal of the complexity of the theories he held to be true.
His books, written in German, have been translated into English and other languages. A few of his works were written in English. He left behind a large body of work detailing the theories he created.
