Why Can't You Recall Your Dreams? Marie-Louise von Franz On Why You Should | Jungian Psychology

Hello Brothers and Sisters, and welcome to the Jungian Aion!
This excerpt is from the captivating documentary • "The Way of the Dream"... which explores the dream world through the insights of renowned Jungian psychoanalyst Marie-Louise von Franz. Directed by Fraser Boa, the film features street interviews with ordinary men and women recounting their dreams, which von Franz then interprets as she would in a private analytical session. The documentary serves as a comprehensive introduction to the art and science of dream analysis for a general audience, covering topics such as dreams of men and women, the personal and relational insights dreams offer, their historical significance, and dreams about death and dying.
Marie-Louise von Franz emphasizes the profound role of dreams in guiding us toward personal meaning and destiny, stating, "Dreams show us how to find meaning in our lives, how to fulfill our destiny, and realize the greater potential of life within us." The documentary also features the acclaimed Jungian analyst Marion Woodman, further enriching this exploration of the unconscious mind.
This film offers a compelling look at the ways dreams can illuminate our inner lives and help us navigate the complexities of being human.
I highly recommend establishing a daily connection with the dream world by maintaining a dream journal, reflecting on your dreams, and exploring the rich insights they offer. In my experience, dreams are not random; they are creative and intentional expressions from our inner center, which lovingly guides us-even through challenging or unsettling dreams. By engaging with them regularly, we allow ourselves to deepen our understanding of the unconscious and align more closely with the wisdom it provides. Through this practice, we can uncover profound meaning and personal growth, guided by the artistic language of our dreams
Thank you for being here and for sharing this moment in our collective human experience. For many years, I've dedicated myself to the pursuit of Truth, Wisdom, and Beauty-what I believe constitutes true Health. My journey has been one of individuation, striving to understand and integrate my individuality within the collective unconscious, while becoming the person I was meant to be.
My aim is to let Jung's work permeate our modern consciousness, bridging the gap between the archetypal reality of our collective unconscious and our daily lives. This involves connecting our profound ancestral wisdom with our current space-time continuum-our daily rituals, habits, and the often unconscious patterns that guide us. I am deeply passionate about contributing to our individual and collective path to individuation, self-development, and the realization of our soul's true purpose.

That's very interesting. The thought itself of dreaming makes you more prone to dream. Whenever I read Jung, I tend to have dreams more frequently. Only one so far was extremely powerful, like the kind of nightmares kids have. I hadn't had a dream that intense in years. But whenever I don't pay attention to Jung's works for a few days, the dreams generally stop. I remember reading that having few dreams is good because it means the unconscious doesn't have anything too important to tell you. But maybe looking into it consciously makes your unconscious react and provide dreams that you wouldn't normally have.

I dream during the day……I sleep at night. When I was in school, it wasn’t very beneficial, but now (at 64), just let the mind run free.

More interesting than awake

[@eta9781]

she reminds me of jung, the way she talks...maybe it's because they're both swiss

[@The_Jungian_Aion]

I guess it's also because they spent a lot of time together.
