Abstract

C. G. Jung describes the power of the unconscious on our conscious actions. The unconscious is a concept that is difficult for the conscious mind to understand. This article describes an experience that demonstrates the direct influence of unconscious material in the form of dreams throughout the process of individuation. Influenced by Emerson’s essay, “Self-Reliance,” and Jung’s theory of the shadow archetype, I trusted my intuition about the nature of spirit. That decision guided me to transcendent information garnered through a series of dreams. Two frequently recurring dreams of frustration and anxiety transformed into positive unconscious attitudes that had a direct effect on conscious actions. Confronting old information in my mind, I have been gifted with confidence to accept my self-reliance and the reality of mystery.
