Jung e a Interpretação dos Sonhos: Manual de Teoria e Prática

Studies in Jungian Psychology by Jungian Analysts #13

by James A. Hall

Os sonhos, chamados, por alguns, de língua esquecida de Deus e, por outros, de mensagens do demônio, durante muito tempo foram considerados bons ou maus presságios do futuro. A crença moderna, porém, de que estão diretamente relaciona­dos com a psicologia de cada um, e com as atitudes e padrões de comportamento de quem sonha, deve-se ao trabalho pioneiro do psiquiatra suíço C. G. Jung, que introduziu a idéia de que nos sonhos o inconsciente emerge de uma forma muito clara. Este é um guia prático e abrangente para a compreensão dos sonhos com base nos princípios da Análise Psicológica de Jung. Aqui, o modelo da psique segundo Jung é discutido de forma concisa, com muitos exemplos clínicos de sonhos e do modo como eles podem ser interpretados em seu contexto. Atenção particular é dada aos temas comuns e repetidos nos sonhos (quedas, perseguições, casas, carros, mortes, mágoas, casamentos, o fim do mundo, os símbolos sexuais, etc.), aos sonhos traumatizantes, à função intencional e compensatória dos sonhos, aos sonhos que prognosticam doenças ou mudanças físicas e ao modo como os sonhos estão relacionados com a etapa da vida e com o processo de individuação de quem sonha.

I read this in the context of a class on fairy tales, and it was a very useful tool in that respect to examine how we might interpret a tale in a dream-like way. The fairy tales surprisingly quite easily, and often, fell open to that sort of analysis. This book works well as a simple primer to some of the ways to look at elements in a dream - certainly not as some sort of hokey "dream dictionary" which explains every image out of context.

Rüyalardan düşündüğümden az bahsediyor. Jung'un psikolojisi ile ilgili pek çok ayrıntı yer alıyor kitapta, ayrıca bildiğim kavramları onları anlamış başka birinden dinlemek de güzeldi. Benim için tamamlayıcı bir kitap oldu.

nice introduction into the analysis of dream but too clinical and theoretical for my liking
i can see how this can be used for a guding tool (a study book) for people who actually study psychoanalysis and have knowledge on the matter (and probably it was written for them), but for me as a mere reader and a complete beginner in the jungian practice it was hard to fully comprehend and it lacked character to be enjoyed as a read

if you are considering buying this to help you analyze your own dreams, this is not the book for that

A clear, concise work on the Jungian interpretation of dreams. Recommended. For a detailed review, please visit my blog: http://tesatorul.blogspot.ro/2013/11/....

Guía práctica para comprender mejor los sueños a la luz de la psicología profunda de Carl Jung.
Importante será:
Comprender los detalles de los sueños, sabiendo que nunca su interpretación será exhaustiva o completa.
Trabajar con las asociaciones y amplificaciones en los tres niveles: personal, cultural y el arquetípico.
Ubicación del sueño amplificado en el contexto de la situación vital y del proceso de individuación del soñador o soñadora.

This is an excellent book for those interested in the subject. Though I remain dubious about the whole depth psychology phenomenon in general.

Започнах книжките от поредицата "Юнг и последователи" чрез тези на Мари Луиз фон Франц. Така останах с впечатлението, че поредицата е за всички читатели лаици. И така г-н Джеймс Хол ме изненада неприятно :)

Книжлето е ценно, изпълнено с информация, като тя е представена в много висок стил, като разговор между колеги или както би се написала дисертация. Оттам четенето става тегаво, има изречения, които ми се наложи да препрочета по четири пъти и пак не им схванах смисъла. Хол често цитираше и Фройд, на моменти го съпоставяше с Юнг.

Като всяка книга, и тук можах да намеря нещо за себе си. Кой знае, може след години да я прочета и разбера от раз.
А ако някой се интересува: сънищата са индивидуални и тази книга по никакъв начин не помага, ако искате да се анализирате сами. Всички сме луди в търсене на философското злато ;)

this was for analysts, really, so it went pretty deep into jungian terminology, but it was helpful to me as another way to interpret dreams. honestly, I don't think it matters how you interpret dreams, just working with them is helpful.

How do you and I learn the humility to listen to our own souls as they speak each night in dreams?

How can we live into our depths and live our outer lives more fully, so that wisdom and knowledge that guides us like the words of the person dearest to us grows out of us like a seed from the earth?

I believe that we have to return to the small things of our souls, like dreams, that we tend to see as pitiful. We have to see them as being larger than us, and supremely meaningful.

This is what James A. Hall seeks to do in this book, and I think he does an admirable job of it.

I've done an in-depth review and amplification of this book in 3 parts.

James Hall's book is an interesting expression of the Jungian foundation of holding the tension of the opposites. Jungian Dream Interpretation is both a very practical book on dream interpretation as well as presenting a thorough theoretical foundation. Personally, I came away with a clearer understanding of Self being the organizing core of the unconscious and ego being the organizing principle of our conscious psyche. I also more clearly understood the dream ego and the waking ego. Detail, but only for those who have the interest.

[Mathew Vondersaar · Rating 5 out of 5]

Even as a individual who would call themselves (basically) a layman, It is apparent that the author approached this subject with a fair deal of caution and respect, resulting in a highly informative and concise read. Each topic was evaluated on with a fair deal of detail without becoming too lost in those details, and worked through a number of interesting points well.

Highly recommend as a starting point to dream interpretation or to Jungian Psychology in general.

[Matt Root · Rating 4 out of 5]

Rounded up from 3.5 stars. This a classic introduction to Jungian dream analysis and there’s a lot of good content here, particularly in its basic definition of terms. Once he moved away from this basic framework, however, the book felt a little unfocused. Additionally, the book is showing its age in terms of certain cultural conversations and understandings of mental health. There are better, more recent, introductions out there.

[Carl · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is very good. I have seen it criticized by a reviewer for talking too much about psychology, as, "they didn't like psychology." For those willing to learn and not just have everything spoon fed to them, this book is clear, concise and invaluable. I am reading it for the second time in a year, as I write this review.

[Angie · Rating 3 out of 5]

In my honest opinion, it went too deep in Jungian terminology. Writing was too abstract for it to call itself a "handbook". Other than that, it did give a few good distinct examples of symbolic interpretation of specific dream patterns.

[Qui2 · Rating 4 out of 5]

Overall a good read, although at times it was somewhat convoluted.

[Meg Ready · Rating 3 out of 5]

A bit dense, but a solid introduction to dream interpretation and its uses in "modern" psychology and how to approach it as an everyday practice.

[William Baker · Rating 5 out of 5]

An excellent summary and elucidation of the Jungian approach.

[Anton Zlatev · Rating 5 out of 5]

Superb read. Well illustrated with clinical data and modern research.

Não sou analista, mas fiz um curso sobre a área, por isso consegui entender esse livro. É um conteúdo interessantíssimo sobre s análise de sonhos e complementa o que eu já tinha estudado sobre Jung.

[Deken Flaherty · Rating 4 out of 5]

Thorough summary of Jung’s concepts and ideas. A brief overview of Jung’s dream analysis.

[Jay Cresva · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was a great companion to an elective course I was taking in school that required keeping a dream journal and analyzing them. I was up to 18 dreams in a month (I dream every.single.day, and they are very vivid and entertaining) and was just slacking off on the analysis part. This book definitely helped me break down my dreams into symbols, themes, and feelings..which is first stage of Jungian dream analysis. Then I had to make associations between symbols and personal, cultural, and universal (collective unconscious in Jungian Psychology) motifs.
Beware though- this book is very dense with info..it took me forever to go through it.

[Jovana Vesper · Rating 2 out of 5]

For all psychology students out there this is a helpful handbook, also Jungian enthusiasts will find a lot of interesting stuff yet it can be a slow read since the language used is technical and occasionally arduous.

[Marie Judson]

Beautifully written. Explanations of symbols such as the Soul and Self in dreaming are very accessible. He gives a special touch to Jungian or depth psychology.

[Nara · Rating 5 out of 5]

Read it in portuguese. A must for dreamers.

[Atzin]

A fair introduction to Jungian concepts such as the Ego, persona, the Self, anima/animus, and the Shadow and how they all play a role in how we communicate with our Unconscious through our dreams.

[Roge Roger · Rating 5 out of 5]

Far better than Marxist applications of the subject. More complete and less wandering.

[Garth · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good primer on dream interpretation. Main thesis is that all dreams must be analyzed in context of the analysand.
