Daydream Believer: Jung’s early explorations of imaginal experiences (Access Anytime)

We all daydream, we find it natural, often pleasing and sometimes annoying, but 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 they do? 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. This lecture explores the history of Jung’s interest in fantasy life and the role of fantasy in the work of self-understanding and self-actualization which Jungians call “individuation”.
