ABSTRACT
Instead of adhering to Freud's view of mental images as representatives of instincts, Jung embraced the approach of imaging as a primary phenomenon. Following Jungian's ideas, the images are the building blocks of the psyche; and, in fact, image is psyche. Being the psyche and its building blocks at the same time indicates that image does not adhere to one form of either-or. This allows the other 'formats' to live alongside each other as realities of psychological processes. The existence of psychic realities 'in addition' to the linear reality contributes to the symbol-sign relationship as they play along the opposites' irrationality and irreconcilability. Yet, this confusing relationship does not call for an either-or solution symbol or sign, psychic image or external presentation as both opposites participate in creating energy.
