DREAM WITH US, and we’ll teach you how to interpret them!⁠⁠⁠

Carl Jung considered visions extraordinary intrusions of the unconscious into waking life, moments when hidden psychic contents press forward with striking intensity. These phenomena do not represent mere hallucinations or idle fantasies. They reflect purposeful eruptions from Psyche’s deeper strata, often evoked by personal crisis or cultural upheaval. Visions stand apart from normal mental processes because they carry a sense of autonomy; they appear spontaneously and feel real despite an absence of tangible external stimuli.

Unlike psychotic hallucinations, which generally lack insight, visions evoke wonder or awe but do not lead to a break with reality. Instead of dismissing them as illusions, we should explore their symbolic significance and trace their relationship to archetypal patterns. Visions may emerge to correct lopsided ego positions, illuminate a coming transformation, or highlight a collective shift in cultural identity. These visionary breakthroughs disclose hidden potentials that challenge complacency and spark deeper self-awareness through symbolic revelation.
