Jerry,

You appear to be in excellent shape for your age! That's truly wonderful.

I certainly agree that our dream images represent both literal and symbolic applications.

Yes, one's childhood experiences do follow them for life. And it is so true that many never embark on the inner journey of healing and integration. And people do search for love in all the wrong places. I believe it must must be found within, first and foremost. However, loving compassion from others can and does help to point the way.

Though you stick to a simple method of interpreting dreams, I find your analysis's rather exacting. I see that many folks who have posted here never come back with follow up information. My guess is that many may not be ready to see and/or openly discuss the issues their dreams are shedding light on. Nonetheless, each time you do help another look into their dream, you are sowing seeds of introspection and self inquiry, which can be the beginning of the journey for others - which is a gift.

Our healing/growth is definitely a continuing process. I have found myself visiting some issues repeatedly, bringing deeper healing/insights each time.

Finally, yes, it is the Great Mother which provides the nourishment so dearly needed in our world.

I look forward to what you share on my other dream.

Thanks again, Jerry,

Kristi

Kristi,
Before I work on your dream a comment about those who fail to respond to my analysis.
I agree with you some do not respond because they are ready to open up to their true feelings. Some may also not understand {are unable to} the analysis for one reason or another. Or do not accept the interpretation because they believe dreams do not have a hidden message or dreams are important. I at one time thought perhaps I providing an incorrect analysis but from those who do respond {especially those like yourself who are willing to share} my analysis has been proven accurate. Of course the original analysis is merely an outline of the emotional energies and when provided personal information a more in dept analysis can be provided with even more accuracy. My interpretation of your last couple of dreams were much easier since I had a knowledge of the emotional energies and only needed to line those with the personal experiences.

And there are those who just do not respond or forget about their post. Kinda annoying since most dreams take a minimum of an hour to analysis in dept.

Let me state that I am not the only person who can analyze dreams with success. There are many who use Jung or concepts 'borrowed' from Jung that can interpret dreams with great success. I personally believe what Jung proposed about dreams are not only correct but verifiable. Most psychologists and publications will not state this but they are tuned more o the academic standards and are either blinded by the scholarly assessments or unable to get past the academics and tap into the intuitive psyche. Jung did that and was often criticized for looking at metaphysical possibilities {astrology, tarot, etc} which do have some basis for fact than most scholars will admit to. Of course as I have stated before metaphysics is not something natural but is natural phenomenon that is not understood or is refused to believable. It is true because nature made it that way or allows it to be a particular way.

A note about physical fitness {something you probably know having had a physical routine riding bicycles and other physical activity}. When I am able to get the attention of anyone who will listen I broadcast the need to be healthy. Not just physical fitness but also diet, stress and sleep. I believe the best way to convince someone of something is to be the good example. It isn't look at me how great I am but look at what you can achieve if you do have a healthy lifestyle. At 69 I am benefiting from the 40 years of fitness. Pay me now or pay me later. Later isn't that long in the future.

Jerry,

Analyzing a dream does take time. And I think intuitive psyche is very important when working with dreams. Unfortunately, so many are stuck in concrete assessments of life and the world. This is very true in the academic world, where Jung's work has been given little attention. Though, I have recently seen online that some institutions are offering degrees in Jungian Psychology and Archetypal Studies. So, some progress there.

Yes, I have observed your often indicating the need for physical health. And it is good, for enough cannot be said on how important it is for us, especially as we age.
