The Unconscious's Compensating Function

The agency responsible for our dreams is more of a who than a what. It does feel like there can be some kind of director being shepherding our dreams, but it's hard to put a face on or a name. Jung said the dreams are a commentary and they serve a compensating function for our biased waking attitudes. Over time, if you do write down your dreams and don't look at them for a while, then go back three months later, you'll see patterns emerging.
