Pat,
I will provide an interpretation Sunday morning. It is not often I get to work with someone of your age, most who post dreams are under 50 and even younger. I am curious if your participation in Jungian dream work is something that extends from previous psychology interests/studies or did it come upon you more recently in another form? Did your spiritual search lead you to Jung? Or perhaps a serendipitous event similar to mine {Joseph Campbell}.

Jung's theory of synchronicity is very controversial but in my experience it is real. Small co-incidences that occur when you least expect them but often at an opportune times that fit with the need {helping hands of fate as Campbell wood put it}. It is as if it is nature's intent.

This coming from someone who looks for factual reasons and truths in everything. But I don't see the concept anymore suspect than believing in God. Both are thought of as 'metaphysical' possibilities and both have to be experienced to be realized. My more recent and memorial experiences were associated with serendipity more so than with God.

Of my first experience with Joseph Campbell some 18 years ago, when I happened to see his popular PBS {6 hours in length, shown over six programs} interview with Bill Moyers in 'The Power of Myth}'. After that one interview, I was merely one hour away from becoming someone different than I was an hour previous, I knew life had changed for me. I have been on that path ever since.
Many of Jung's patients became Jungian psychologists. To teach, to share what they knew. I believe they experienced a higher level of knowledge, understanding and awareness, and realized 'this is a truth'. And then when you live it life 'opens up'. As Campbell stated 'I don't need faith {God}, I have experience.' Experience is wisdom. The greatest wisdom comes from knowledge about self and Self. Self psychology.
