About Dreams. A Reflection on Carl Jung's “Memories, Dreams and Reflections”

Dreams are our own personalized world. In our dreams we express our inner self, wishes and what we're afraid of. When we go to sleep we create this universe where everything we find helps us understand our self’s a little better. Even thou it's a world we create when we wake up from a dream it's so hard to remember what the dream was about. We sometimes just go blank.

Carl Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist who founder of the school of analytical psychology. In one of he's books he tells us the story of the trips he took. This stories are from he's point of view. He actually wrote the story's many years after the trips. 

I really enjoyed all the stories and how he in way saw himself from another perspective. Although I liked them I don't really think we can really believe everything he's saying really happened because he wrote those story’s so many years after and our memories tend to fade.
                                                                                
For me a memory is like a dream. I know is something really odd to say because they have totally different meanings but bear with me. A memory is like a dream because when time passes we start changing our memories and making it more like a dream than a real thing. Just like a dream which when we wake up we can’t really remember most of the details the same thing happens with our memories.

  1. I agree with what you wrote about how we cannot fully trust in memories because they fade, I wrote something similar in my blog post.

  4. I like the way you descried our dreams as our own universe with our wishes and fears and they help us understand ourselves.
