Daydream Believer: Jung’s Early Explorations of Imaginal Experiences (Online)

Click here for a taste of this talk, with instructor Susan Meindl!

Some individuals have the talent, or the curse, of losing sight of the dividing line between fantasy and reality. What kinds of things can happen when that distinction is lost? Jung suggested that some of his most important insights and concepts evolved out of his inner fantasy experiences, but it was only later in his career that he spoke about these experiences in connection with the benefits of developing a deeper connection with unconscious life. Join us as we explore the history of Jung’s interest in fantasy life, distinctions he made between different types of fantasy, and the role of fantasy in the work of self-understanding and self-actualization which Jungians call “individuation”.
