Why We Hide Our INNER GOLD
Channel: This Jungian Life
Date: 14/04/2024

When we share our inner "gold" — our special talents and unique perspective — with the world, it becomes a blessing, as the Gnostics say. But, when we either refuse or are unable to answer our true calling, this inner power can become a poison.

"Dream Scenario" is a thought-provoking new film that explores the uncanny power of the collective unconscious to shape culture and be shaped by it. In the movie, Nicholas Cage's character Paul mysteriously starts appearing in others' dreams across the globe. He grapples with the fear of being randomly celebrated by the collective and later demonized.

Kate Berlant's role in the film and insights into Jungian analysis and dream interpretation launch our conversation into the growing presence of Jung's insights in art and film.

We explore the effect of instant and unwarranted celebrity through social media and the power of archetypal roles to change the actor and activate the collective. Kate reveals her personal connection to analytical psychology and the path her inner work has taken her.
