Dream Wise

The hosts of the podcast This Jungian Life present a systematic and comprehensive method for understanding the messages of our dreams.

Beyond the veil of sleep lies a world of mythic images, improbable encounters, and strange beauty. Dreams carry messages about our past, present, or future—but how can we develop the skill to decipher their deeper meaning? With Dream Wise, the hosts of the widely respected podcast This Jungian Life present an unprecedented resource, translating C. G. Jung’s brilliant insights into a practical, self-guided method for excavating the hidden wisdom of your dreams.

Authors Lisa Marchiano, Deborah Stewart, and Joseph Lee identify ten keys for diving into the rich territory of your dreamworld—offering guidance for effective journaling, understanding archetypes, exploring the shadow, and much more. As you progress through each chapter, these experienced analysts share their most effective insights and practices to help you improve your dream recall, become fluent in your psyche’s symbolic language, and harness the extraordinary intelligence of your dreams to inform and transform your waking life.

“Our dreams attest to an order of being that transcends the limits of materiality,” say the authors.
“They are the path back to a primordial connection with nature, nonrational ways of knowing, and connection with the numinous Self that Jung called ‘the god within.’” The doorways of imagination are waiting for you—with Dream Wise, you have the keys to explore their limitless possibilities.
