Dreaming and the Work of the Unconscious

Dreams give us insight into how the unconscious operates. Considering the fact that the unconscious is by definition at odds with the conscious mind, any method that aims to cooperate with the unconscious will require a high degree of diplomatic skill. By steering a course between the Scylla of science and the Charybdis of literature, Jung left us with an approach to the unconscious that is constantly updated by means of the fresh data that comes to us in the form of dreams.
