An exploration of Jung's dreams and their influence on the development of the concept of the Self
by Todd, John, Ph.D., PACIFICA GRADUATE INSTITUTE, 2007, 210 pages; 3302073

Abstract:

This dissertation is an exploration of Jung's dreams that appear to be about his relationship with the Self as well as the personal history surrounding those dreams. The intent of this exercise is to explore in what ways Jung's dreams in the first and second halves of his life and the experiences associated with these dreams point to his development of the Self concept. After each dream was first explored within its historical context, and Jung's interpretation of the dreams as well as some interpretations of his biographers were considered as well as my own interpretations, it seems that Jung's early childhood experiences as well as his dreams had a great influence on his ideas surrounding the relationship between ego and Self. The exploration also exposed a split in the child archetype that was reflected in Jung's life, his dreams, and even in the interpretations of his dreams and his life.
