The Importance of Dream Interpretation

Amplifying a dream involves reflecting on the dream and weaving ideas, concepts, and associations around it. Jung did not interpret his dreams by immediately forming a clear idea of what they meant. He carried them around within himself, lived with them inwardly, as it were, and asked questions of them. If he came across something in a book or in an outer experience which reminded him of a dream image, he would add it to that image, so to speak. We will know that we have stumbled upon a correct dream interpretation when, in the words of Jung, the interpretation clicks. When there is the feeling that it absolutely hits the fact, one knows one is on the right track.
