For want of a more descriptive term we call this unknown background the unconscious. We do not know its nature in and for itself, but we observe certain effects from whose qualities we venture certain conclusions in regard to the nature of the unconscious psyche. Because dreams are the most common and most normal expression of the unconscious psyche, they provide the bulk of the material for its investigation." ~C. G. Jung. "On the Nature of Dreams". "In 'Individual Dream Symbolism in Relation to Alchemy,' . the material consists of extracts from a series of some 400 dreams and visions, covering a period of ten months in the analysis of 'a young man of excellent scientific education.' In this section of 185 pages, eighty~one dreams and 'visual impressions' are discussed in such detail, and with such wealth of associated material from religious symbolism from all over the world, and such variety and richness of illustration, as to completely defy any attempt at an adequate review. Perhaps the simplest and truest comment to make is that it furnishes a liberal education in the labyrinthine ways of the human psyche!''~Review of Religion. "The breadth of the associations, the wealth of allusions to mysticism, religion, culture and symbolism and the striking erudition of Jung are without equal in the realm of psychology . Jung is at one and the same time a poet, a metaphysician and a psychologist." ~New Mexico Quarterly, Books<
