Could anyone explain me what Jung meant with that dreams have a certain 'forseeing' ability for the future, or rather, seem to 'show something that might happen in the future'? Was this, according to Jung, because the dreamer unconsciously drives him or herself towards what is dreamt (a sort of selfulfilling prophecy), or did Jung really believe that dreams could predict future events?

Ahmet He meant that one might be living above themselves and blocking warning signs from their consciousness due to their situation or character formation. …moreHe meant that one might be living above themselves and blocking warning signs from their consciousness due to their situation or character formation. The unconscious, on the other hand, interprets everything as they objectively are, and may surface in dreams. However, this is not guaranteed, as the unconscious is not restricted to furthering individual's well-being. I haven't yet noticed anything about self-fulfillment, but it sounds neurotic to me. Being overly obsessed about the outcome of a dream might be a pre-oedipal substitution neurosis, or simple megalomania.(less)

Hi Could anyone confirm that this edition (by Arkana) is simply a reprint of the 1964 one (the one with the mandala design on the white background cover)? This seems to be the only affordable copy around on Amazon but there's no saving if the text has been changed or if it's only an abridged version or whatever... Thanks for your answers

Hello! Which edition of this book (in English) would you recommend? I wanted to buy it from my local bookstore, but it wasn't available so I've searched online. I'm very confused as some editions seem of poor quality and/or abridged.. Thank you!
