ABSTRACT
Chapter 6 examines what I propose to have been Jung’s death dreams occurring almost two years before his confrontation with the unconscious. Included is a discussion about what the dead supposedly know relative to interactions with humans. Do they know more due to their access of the collective unconscious or is it necessary to have a relationship with the living to make their knowledge applicable? The ancestral spirits dream, the Austrian customs official dream, the loggia dream and the row of tombs dream all deal with an experience of witnessing the dead alive in unconscious spaces and serve as a preparatory phase for Jung’s confrontation.
