Reincarnation discovery through dreaming

Sabine Lucas, PhD.  a Jungian psychotherapist identified in her book, Past Life Dreamwork, the archetype of Reincarnation (Bear and Company, Rochester, Vermont, 2005).  “Like all archetypes, it is surrounded by a symbolic field, which our dreams are staking out…the unconscious knows a great deal more about reincarnation than we do consciously…Reincarnation seems to be a creative dynamic process that runs in circles of simultaneous existence, with each incarnation being only part of a much greater whole.” (pps. 243-244). Dr Lucas identifies 3 types of reincarnation [...]

Induced collective American psychosis

A global event today in the face of multiple social, theological, humanitarian and political crises induces the feeling that rapid change is being imposed upon all nation states.  These changes are disrupting the traditional ways of living in the most general sense; a threat to our way of life is upon us! That the "Other" , the Stranger, the Foreigner, the Alien are all seemingly threatening the status quo and social order in all countries makes it easy to project blame on people who do [...]

Freud and Jung in dream analysis

The above figure identifies three structures of the Freud Psyche theory: Id , Ego and Superego. The Id is the most unconscious and represents instincts that operate and erupt into our conscious minds; the Ego is the reality tester, mediates the impulses from the Id and refers them to the conscience or moral compass in the personality that evaluates the consequences of acting on Id impulses. The function of Dreams. In psychoanalysis, Freud used dreams in the analysis of the transference in which he [...]

The Dreaming Mind

Dreaming mind Dreams lead a person out of a neurotic conflict by the process of individuation.   “Health and individuation, however are not always aligned; what is healthy for one dominant ego-image at a particular stage of life may be decidedly unhealthy for the nascent ego-image in the next stage of life.” (Hall, p. 28), For example, if an individual is facing the issue of leaving home and becoming more independent from her family vs. staying home and not venturing out.   It causes anxiety to accomplish [...]

The spectrum of severe mental health disorders and astrological research- a beginning

A continuum of Mental Health Disorders: This article will explore the factors both environmental and genetic that lead to a sliding continuum of mental problems rather than discrete disorders.  The medical model has been imposed upon mental disorders which has rules for categories of separate disorders.  This dictates which medications  are used and which add to the stigma of mental illness by pathologizing the diagnoses.  The medications have difficult side effects which turn my clients to homeopathic treatments like cannabis, alcohol, and other remedies with [...]

Visitation dream of deceased person(s)

Dreams can be communication from entities beyond the phyiscal plane, i.e. deceased people.(Dreams and Astrological Psychology, Grove, John, p. 81).   C. G. Jung broke psychological ground when he declared in his medical degree dissertation that parapsychological  material ( evidence of dream-induced telepathy) was not evidence of pathology but of autonomous complexes.(Chartet, F. X. , Spiritualism Foundations of Jung's Psychology, p. 297)  Autonomous complexes are split off parts of the psyche usually associated with trauma or shock or breach of our boundaries and have developed a [...]

Emergence of the Lion

Confessions of a dreamer

Dream: On April 4, 2021 I had a dream: I asked two ladies for written feedback on my work which I felt I deserved. Some unseen authority figure told them they had to write my feedback. One of these female figures wrote on paper some words that were in cursive, in bullet format. The other one gave a written text that looked like it was borrowed from some internet site. When I reviewed it more closely, I was disappointed that the feedback appeared hasty and [...]
