“Jung was extremely interested in recurring imagery across a wide range of human civilizations, in art, religion, myth and dreams,” Storm said. Storm’s current paper, published online in the International Journal of Jungian Studies supports Jung’s theories and recommends that dream analysis be explored further for potential clinical use. He believed that dream symbols carried meaning about a individual’s emotional state which could improve understanding of the person and also aid in their treatment. In the early 1900s, Jung proposed that dream symbols or archetypes were ancient images stemming from humans’ collective unconscious. Lance Storm, Ph.D., a visiting research fellow with the University of Adelaide’s School of Psychology, believes dream images could provide insights into people’s mental health problems and may help with their treatment. A new paper revisits the insights of pioneering psychoanalyst Carl Jung, tying his beliefs on dream symbols to a method of improving care for mental health issues.
