“I was suddenly seized by an overpowering vision: I saw a monstrous flood covering all the northern and low-lying lands between the North Sea and the Alps. When it came up to Switzerland I saw that the mountains grew higher and higher to protect our country. I realized that a frightful catastrophe was in progress.”
In this live and recorded online seminar, we will explore the importance of the phrase "dreams in times of conflict and transition." It evokes a complex interplay between the human psyche and external upheaval. There is no doubt that we are living in a time of cultural transition. Can dreams inform us about a path to be taken or illuminate a turning point in our lives, both personal and collective? In this seminar, we will examine dreams that may signal a change, a new attitude, or a transition from one passage to another. We will examine the dreams of C. G. Jung, Abraham Lincoln, Black Elk and others who have made significant impacts on contemporary life. We will also discuss dreams that anticipate collective changes, such as those of German citizens before the National Socialists rise.
As exemplified by Carl Jung's experiences, large-scale conflicts can trigger collective dreams and visions, reflecting shared anxieties and archetypal patterns within the collective unconscious. These dreams can serve as a barometer of the collective psyche, revealing underlying fears and hopes within a society.
In essence, dreams are powerful reflections of the human experience that offer insights into our deepest fears, hopes, and the ways we cope with change. Together, we will discover the meaning, symbolism, and mystery of collective dreams in this fascinating one-day online seminar.
