ABSTRACT

Many humanistic, clinical and natural sciences researchers assert the anticipatory and creative functions of dreams, even though they emphasize these functions in discrete realms of the human domain. Prominent Jungian Erich Neumann included dreams in the dynamics of the “creative unconscious,” which also feeds artistic creativity. On a higher level of self-organization, the dream was about some internal patterns within Pia that were battling each other. The way dream stories are formed provides information about how a dreamer’s psychological processes typically play out. The pivotal symbols of the plot are the birds. Tue’s spontaneous feeling of knowing and feeling of rightness is that the birds should be set free. A chain reaction dream can also reflect a self-destructive line of thinking in a waking state of which the dreamer is not conscious. Cognitive therapists who work with anxiety, depression and low self-esteem often describe these kinds of dreams.
