NOTE

The Symbolic Role of Dreams as Corrective Processes

The speaker discusses the concept of a 'dream maker' as an adult in the room from a Jungian standpoint, emphasizing the corrective and equilibrating impulse in the personality. Dreams are seen as trying to compensate for deficits caused by culture, circumstance, or character disorders.

The snip then transitions to discussing how social media content can influence ego development and self-regulation in response to images and content on various platforms.
