Today someone left a comment in one of my articles about dream interpretation on a website where I submit my articles frequently.
She told me that she doesn't think that Carl Jung is the only one who discovered the correct method of interpreting dreams; our dreams should be interpreted the way we feel we have to interpret them.
The wonderful possibility we have with the Internet is to be in contact with our readers - and for readers to be in contact with authors - it really is a privilege that doesn't exist in other forms of communication.
I would like to give my answer in this article, so that everyone that agrees with the lady that left this comment will be able to understand what it means to interpret a dream and how I can declare that only Carl Jung discovered the correct method to translate the dream messages.
I would also like to state that I continued his research, discovering the wild side of the human conscience and many more symbols, which helped me to very much simplify the complicated method that he discovered in the beginning of the last century.
The dreams are produced by the unconscious mind that regulates the functioning of our body.
The unconscious is a natural doctor that tries to save the human part of our conscience and helps us to develop it, so that we will be more intelligent.
The dream messages are given to us in a symbolic form.
The symbolic language used in dreams is also found in artistic, religious and philosophical manifestations and has a specific meaning.
It is a real language, like all existing languages which consist only of words.
The symbolic language is made up of images and scenes - therefore we can learn it and exactly translate its meaning.
However, dream interpretation is not only the translation of one language to another: it is a science that can cure the human psyche.
Carl Jung didn't trust his own method very much; in the same way he didn't trust the wise unconscious mind that produces our dreams very much either.
The wise unconscious mind exists in order to save our human conscience from the craziness that the anti-conscience, our primitive and violent conscience, tries to impose upon the human side of our conscience, in order to destroy it.
He could not see the separation between anti-conscience and unconscious mind, so he thought that the wise and saintly unconscious mind could also be the demonic anti-conscience, even though this conclusion is absurd.
His conclusion was based on the supposition of the possibility of the existence of a world where morals, beyond what is good and what is bad, could exist.
I could clearly see the difference between these opposite minds that live in our psyche and this is why I completely trusted the wise unconscious, in this way being able to see the absurd content existing in the anti-conscience that immediately attacked me, without losing my human conscience.
The symbolic language used in dreams is necessary, so that the anti-conscience won't understand what the unconscious mind tells our human conscience: because if it could understand, it would distort this information.
This is why we have to learn how to translate the symbolic language used by the unconscious mind in our dreams into words that we can easily understand.
In order to discover the way to translate the dream meanings, Carl Jung researched for many years, observing not only dreams, artistic, religious and philosophical manifestations, but also the strange "medicine" of the alchemists (that lived in the Middle Ages and tried to transform metal in gold).
He examined and compared many dreams of people that had serious mental illnesses, learning their personal story.
We can interpret a dream according to the scientific method of dream interpretation only when we relate it to the life of the patient, even though the symbols have an independent meaning.
The connection among all the meanings is given by the dreamer's life.
Jung's method is so correct that I could learn how to interpret dreams better than him, by using his own method, because I'm a writer and I had found many dream symbols in my own literature.
I can give you many examples of proof as to how really accurate this translation is, especially because I saw the entire truth that Jung couldn't see in his time.
He was afraid to continue the dangerous research into unknown regions of the psyche and he stopped at a certain point, admitting ignorance from that point on.
I didn't accept it and I continued the research, thanks to all the information I could obtain at the end of the last century, when many scientific discoveries made in many different fields, confirmed Jung's theory.
I was also encouraged to continue the research by the dream messages that I was receiving at the time I reached the point that Jung considered as the end of the trip into the human psyche.
If you want to learn how to discover the real meaning of your dreams and decipher exactly what the wise unconscious mind is showing you, you can simply follow my adaptation of Jung's method, which is very simple, clear and well defined, and will help you find and keep your mental health for life.
