Jung, Astrology & Dreams
with author GREG BOGART, PH. D.
In addition to Jung's interest in dream interpretation, he was an avid astrologer who cast a birth chart for many of his patients. Contemporary astrologers influenced by Jung view the planets and zodiacal signs as symbols of the archetypes, the eternal patterns of transformation, which constantly appear in dreams. Contemplating astrology and dreams together can be a transformative spiritual practice. Dreams and astrological symbols both convey the guidance, the dynamism, and the intentions of the unconscious; both touch us emotionally, evoke pivotal memories, clarify our pressing tasks, and offer glimpses of our emergent potentials. This talk explores how planetary archetypes manifest in dreams, how dream symbols reflect the symbolism of natal and transiting planets, and how astrological symbols illuminate the deeper meaning of dreams. Greg will describe the potent methodology of combining dream interpretation with reflection on astrological cycles and symbols.
