That's a great post....and your posts about the shadow are a good read as well. I have spent some time perusing Jungian philosophy. If my somewhat surficial understanding is correct, Carl sees the unconscious as kind of a storehouse of repressed memories. I do believe that our dreams are expressions of that....and possible more. I have to admit, however, that I do not get very analytical of my remembered dreams. I think that analysis is a flawed approach in a way because of the inherent danger that the analysis, whether subjective or objective, can be skewed by subtle human predispositions.

I think also that there may be more than repressed stuff hidden away in there. I think a great deal of imagery and information gets into our subconscious over the years without ever making it to memory. I have been exposed to many different things in my years, the majority of which never registered in my conscious mind. I think there is a lot of hidden knowledge inside me and I think I am gaining a form of access to that information through lucid dreaming. I spent time with a nameless character last night and there was a definite transfer of...something....that stuck with me.
