and that he should never set up his opinion again
theirs but submit completely. He laughed at me.
Shortly afterward he was caught in an avalance th
thru recklessness but he was saved. About a year
later he was killed He had gone out with one com
panion a friend where guides had refused to accom
pany them. Another guide saw the accident. The man
had let his friend down some eighty feet over an
overhanging point and was following. The friend was
standing very insecurely on a narrow ledge When
the second man was nearing the friend on the ledge
he seemed to let go and throw up his hands He fall
on his friend and they feel together down below a
and were both killed My interpretation of this d
dream was "what the dream says" plus what I knew
of the man's character and life and something I
intuited in him at the time This was an instance
of suicide and murder. (Taking some one else with
us in death to the other world In the course of
an analysis of this man this and more would have
come to light. The specific telepathic quality o
of the dream was in my intuitive function
Mrs F.. Tells of the death of her father at the
time when she was in Psa, was freeing her self from
her father's fixation.

Dr J. tells of the death of several groves of a
species of tree in widely separated parts of Ger
many. Science proved that it was not an infection

Later it was shown _all_ the trees were shoots from one parent tree. This tree was very old and diei dieing.

There are notable instances of the parents of ana
lysants dieing during the period when the analysa
ant is freeing himself from the parent Dr J. said
it was at tho there were an underlying bond, clock
work, between parent and child as tho when the ch
child was freeing, - killing the parent within-
the parent with out would also die. F W H Myers
and Flammerion give many xuxk instances of tele
pattic phenomena.

Specific dream for analytic exposition

A young man of twenty four, relatively homosexual
not actually, had a terrific worship of his mother
Peculiar family relations there was excessive cour
tesy defference and affection. He and the mother
wrote poems to each other these were sentimental
and disguised incest The boy had a female tendern
ness and shyness He flunked difficult situations
He dreamed (during his analysis here in Zurich)

that he is at home, on the upper floor of his house
he seeking his over coat. He goes down stairs to
get it. Where he find soldiers (to be continued)
(Study of this first part of the dream)

When approaching the dream have no theory or preju

what it says

"At home" KKaway from psa he returns to the chi
childhood situation - really not yet born-. Natur
ally that at home his mother was poison There is
dissatisfaction He seeks some thing his overcoat
Assoc with overcoat - one wears it to go into th
the street Street- is where people are,life. It
is a very old over coat It says he us dissatisf
ied at home he must go out into life but he must
wear his old over coat Overcoat - some thing wh
whixh enfolds, protects Old- mother To go into
life under the old comforting protection of the
mother. Mens love of old clothes and shoes ect
There was a Europen costom of handing down the
old dressing gown, smoking jacket, the long
wrapper with a cord around the belly .The man
returning home in the evening put it on, and set
tled down in the big chair - home-enveloped in
the mother. Do our wives intuit the meaning of
our old clothes and for that reason give them aw
away Wemens attitude toward old clothes is dif
ferent ,different a fect, they are to be seen to
exhibit, to the woman it is not to with draw to b
enfolded by the mother while to the man it is
al ays wanting to with draw from the world of eff
fort to the mother. The relation of wemen to the
mother is to be the mother distroy the mother and
take the mothers place

Mrs C.. give the example of the over worked prof

11

fessional woman relaxing by going naked in the woods and asks if this isn't per-
fectly natural and not exhibitionism

Dr J. but the woman must be seen even in the se-
clusion of the wood Nature has eyes, the trees a
the wind have eyes She participates in nature in
being nude and "seen" she is"nature"

Dr R.. Would we not be more beautiful if we woul
give more attention to the body

Dr J.. Yes but inevitably age and physical ugliness comes upon us Natives who go naked do not preserve the beauty of the body Natives will always give most any thing they have for a rag to cover their old bodies There is a cult of nakedness in Germany and you have only to see a photo graph to realise the ugliness of nakedness.

The patient is at home seeking his over coat The
function of the dream so far is to present the d
reamers present status and some compensation
The raises the question does the Unconscious act
as a Friend or Councillor, has it an interest in

It does (some times) act that way i e as tho it

The dream says "coat" the associations are "old

In a split off personality fantasies may come from

In some dream the unconscious does not appear as totality but as Father or Mother or other Ima
go and I'KXIX any critique must recognise this
Fantasies and dream may be influenced thru the
Imago in the unconscious after the death of the
father or mother or imago or ancestor. The total
unconscious is not to be considered as a person

unconscious may speak thru intuition or thru a
personified part of Nature.

Small dreams are from the surface, this is a small dream

Big dreams come out of the depths, they have an overwhelming quality, transcend consciousness
Are big dream compensatory?

Some dreams come "suddenly", out of the clear" they are creative and time will show an anticipation. Anticipation is not to be considered as an manifestation of the occult or supernormal. Rather as an indication or recognition of some thing in the environment, in Nature which is not yet here or has not yet "happened" but which we must assume is in some sense here. People and animals show an anticipatory senseing of storm earth quakes etc - Cosmic physical phenomina. also of inner physical or psychic conditions

The unconscious is more than Nature it may be benifixent or malevolent but it is compensatory. as the heart is to Brights disease

No intuition, no volition

on the other side it has all the qualities of the intuitive human.

Some times it is the material that is impersonal some time the impersonal that is personal

Returning to the dream, the second part

When the patient get in the hall down stairs he
find a lot of soldiers who are carrying a figure
a doll filled with sand or some thing very heavy
they take it into the street and he feel that he
and not they should be doing that. Then he finds
himself as a soldier and carrying into the street
a heavy bag of sand

Associations - he has none with the doll, - bag of sand, - heavy knap sack which soldiers carry.
The patient when a bot flunked his military service, could not carry the "bag" He was born in privileged conditions, a spoiled boy and unfitt ed for MILITARY LIFE The military servi

15

service in Europe is analogous to primitive initiation into manhood. Associations. My knap sac was too heavy. Oh well, "take up one burden" "to cARRY ONE'S CROSS"

The doll is very important, being a doll is being ones infantile self. A heavy burden, it can not be laid down, it may not be dropped onto the unconscious, forgotten, ignored. To take on a manly or adult attitude by ignoring (i e unconscious) our infantile, means that the heavy load is carried in the unconscious and it becomes a problem - a load of the unconscious. From the attitude-addaptation of this kind there follows the nervous break down of persons in middle life which are often due to the limitations of their psychic resources for meeting the problems of the time. The man is not a whole man. His infantile working thru the unconscious deprives him of an adult attitude of adaptation, that is only one half of the person is grown up. When we keep our infantile in conscious ness, we know its attitude and can control it and also it is educated into life, it matures.

In Barries Marie Rose, the old man is only one h
half a man, and can not handle the situation
This situation is related to the Superior Man
Dream again

Besides his mother a girl came into the life of
our patient. He could not carry on with our hurt

16

hurting his infantile self The girl must be app
proved of by the mother. He played between the m
mother (infantile) and the girl He was not compl
ete, not a whole man inrelation to the girl.

Down stairs,in dream means, going into the unco
nscious, A crowd of suldiers, a multitude, means
unconscious.He realises that the heavy doll is h
his job, his burden and not the soldiers' _His_
job which should be in consciousness, while
as the soldiers job, the multitudes job it
would be for him in the unconscious. If _he_ takes
on the job, he relives theunconscious,so that it
can function,no longer limited by infantile val
ues

Ignorance and resistance to life permits of the
uncontrolled (unconscious) play of instincts i e
Good and Evil. That is I should do this not th
soldiers

There is a legend of the man who complained to G
God that the Cross which he had to bear was not
suited to him, altho he agreed that every one
must bear his Cross God put him in the store hou
se of Crosses telling him that he might take his
choice, but that he must decide by sundown. He
searches all d ay and evmerges at sundown with
a cross which he thinks is more suitable The
God shows him that it is the identical which he
had complained about.

17

Association - One must carry ones own Cross, the doll must not be thrown away (not dropped into the unconscious) He is now a soldier himself The infantile always seeks to be carried - a passion Re maximum carried on the back of his mother As a soldier carrying his sac, so he is one among the crowd doing his own work In stead of getting the old over coat (mother) he must go down stairs into the street (into the unconscious) and there he will see that he must carry his own load Go out into life To carry ones cross -Passion of Christ The execution (crucifiction) means the Transitus that is passing by, the going beyond The Transitus in the mystery of Mythra means to carry the Bull In a mythraic tablet Mythra is show carrying the Bull on his shoulder The sacrifice of self (the infantile) carrying the killed bull Attis after felling the fir tree mast carry it into the cave, for some mystery ceremony. Attis and mythra are the two cousins of Christ. One of the old Church Fathere said that the birth stable of Christ was a cave-temple of Attis The date of Ch Chris's birth, Dec 25 was taken over by the Church from the Mythra birth date already a very old myth In the Mythra mystery they used a bread wafer stamped with a Cross and bells also were used.

The sacrifice of the bull equals the sacrifice

of the Lamb A recent Mythraic monument shows the Trinity as a tree

with three branches each

branch with a Mythra head

The cross the patient has to carry is his self his infantile self

When the infantile is in the unconscious it is projected and demands being carried

Question When is a figure in a dream to be taken
litterally and when as a disguise?

Dr J... Some time a figure is litteral The idea
of the facade I reject all to gether Figures app
appering as a disguise are really intended in
dream language as explanations When the analyst
is represented by another figure there is a reason
for just that figure , it gives the patients'
subjective figure When the analyst is represented
as an inferior figure as a janitor, conduct
or ect this represents the value, the relation
of the analyst, to the patient, that is, to serve
During the early transference the figures are
projections of subjective functions. The speaks,
vonveys, indicates, -it does not disguise. This
brings up a profound problem which can not be
answered now Are we really recalling our dreams
Is what we recall and tell the real dream? In
recalling do we give the material a"twist" or is
the recalled dream itself a "twist" of the

19

unconscious. Do we make translate the material
of the unconscious into term of the Conscious
The real unconscious may be wholly unintellig
ble, incomprehensible, only the images which co
come to consciousness are intelligible but these
may only vaguely represent the real unconscious
material involved It seems to me that is the pr
probability. There is a type of dream, very rare
which seems to present this relation. It is the
the dream itself were a film or a curtain, it
fades or is torn away and some thing quit diff
ferent and very undesirable appears as tho
behind the the veil. An analogy is the Gospel of
mark. The known Mess is in Greek, but there are
evidences in the Gk text that the original thoug
ht and text was Latin. The New Testament stories
were in Greek, but the original was Aramaic, but

Some time a dream figure represents and intends
the real person, this is on the objective level
but behind this is always the subjective figure

Feb 24

The dream of the last lecture was a small dream
a dream from the personal unconscious chiefly
as carrying the cross i e the burden may only an
aquired figure of speech Not from the Collective

20

Unconscious

The following dream deals with material from the
Collective

The patient was a young man of 35 suffering from a very serious mother complex. He was the youngest son of an hysterical mother. When a boy, he left home to study at a university, but at the end of six months he was over come with homesickness and to return home. She unconsciously got him back. During the next sixteen years he remained closely at home and deteriorated into a bad nerosis. This dream came after his Libido had been considerably released from the mother and he was realising the necessity of going into the world. He had a virtual phobia of breasts and hated evening affairs because he could not stand decolletee gowns of such affairs. His mother was stout and had enormous breasts which had always facinat ed him. He had lived all his life in a very handsom eighteenth century house with gardens etc. This is his dream.

He is standing in an old 18th Century room
a tea room standing at the table he is looking
at a book of pictures and painting of the 18th c
century French School The Nudel and enjoying it
very much The book was a type, he had seen other
similar books. He can not see the nude with out

21

a queer mixed reaction of facination and hate, lu
lust and fear. While he looks a woman comes in at
the door, she is a veritable witch, the strinking
thing about her is large and protuding eyes and
their facination which strike him with terror
The boy throws up his arms and then begins to bl
blow violently with all his power, -then he awak
ens

The 6th Cent pavillion is like his home, it is
the condition which has always pervailed, he is
in that psychological situation, continuing the
infantilism. Libido liberated from the mother
must be expressed in the real world as undevelop
ed infantilism

There are no association to raising the arm nor
to blowing.

Book Why a book? looking at pictures, fantasie.L
Libido freed from the mother is stuck in fantasie
He was already conscious of many sex fantasies
With his Libido freed, he is between lust and fe
fear.

Question of the relation of fear to the object
Dr J. There are two fears in general one of the
world and one of the mother

When young and attached to the mother and not yet
yet out in the world then the mother is refuge a
and the world is fear. When the Libido is freed
and the patient is out in the world, the mother

22

(refuge) is gear

Wich at the door. Evil eye, evil spell Facination
as terror.

Eyes Assoc with breasts (i e clinging) The Evil
Eye is mythologival and Primitivo In Italy to
day there are many charms against the evil eye
Two fingers against one or two fingers as horns
Thumb between first and second finger, a coitus
sign, creation. Life symbol opposed to the Evil
Eye. A babylonian hand sign thumb in fist, "Life
to thee"

Eyes big, protruding, terrifying facinating
Primitivo masks have the same eyes In Egypt they
put one or two eyes over the entrance to graves of
Bthe dead man see you " Ptolamaic age they put
enormous eyes, living eyes of glass or stone on the
figures, Greek coffins had such eyes, Serpents eyes
had no lid A warning that the dead see

Facination, terror is Participation. Mystic In
the northern myths the stars have snakes eyes The
Hero fights the snake, the Hero has snake eyes but
fights himslef, the other side of the Hero is the
snake. The British Museum has a wonderful colle
ction of charms against the evil eye. In Egypt
they had little figures of bent legged imagas
with the head cocked to one side bearing a grimace
Such a face jesture will discountanance a staring
person i e put the evil eye on the defensive The

23

These figures were worn on the neck hanging down
behind

The Wich is not the mother. If his mother were ma
made so important he could not detach himself from
her Only by justice can one bedatched: Witch inste
ad of the mother-- it is better to believe the
wich is evil to him and to the mother Nor is the
witch analogous to a neighbor which would be prim
ative superstition and no release

The witch is an Archetype of the Collective Uncon
scious Against her one could wear a neck daemon or
go to a priest to have the witch (evil eye) exorc
ised, or one can differentiate the witch from the
mother who is really as much under the spell as t
the patient. The witch has an Archetype in real life
Esse in Anima. Psychologically real. The Archityp
is an instinct reaction in the modern sense of
the German word ) a reflex &c.
"system in readiness" such as swallowing ans here
applied to ready formed inherited systems or images.

Esse in Re This is the primitive attitude, the
projection into the thing or making a "thing" of
it.

The mother or neighbor as witch.

Q....

Dr J... I consider Freuds sublimation merely repression

The primitive is naturally Esse in nature. It is difficult for the primitive to differentiate the real from the psychic image. I have asked America Negroes if they had ever seen Christ, they hesitate because of this lack of differentiation, then some say no, and some go into detailed descriptions. Primitive mind is ready for either or any thing. For instance an experience with my very primitive people during my trip in Africa. The Chief could speak some what of the language of the neighboring more developed tribe. They told me that at every sun rise they blew on the hands and placed the palms facing the sun and made a religious expression of gratitude to the "maker of all things." I then asked if the sun (pointing to the sun then near the Zinith) is God. They all laughed but could not explain. Then I asked if the Moon is God, and they laughed again. Finally the Chief explained "the moon is God when it has been away and first comes back" i e the New Moon and they made the same religious demonstration to the New Moon. Then I found out that the demonstration to the Sun was at the moment of rising. That is neither the Sun nor the Moon were God but the psychological

25

the *Psychological Moment*. Astonishment, the subjective state projected at that time. These Negros have no ideas of the rebirth. Any thing in nature which acts astonishingly, contrary to nature behaves like his own psychology at the moment there is then participation mystique.

Association in dream

Eyes, protruding breasts, mother, Phobia of br-
breasts, mothers breasts very large and they always-
impressed him, they were uncanny

Nurishing, life giving. Primitive child clings
to the breast, supporting its weight, adhesion
clinging. I saw the same thing among the baboons
Breast means Eye, Evil eye, facination, his old
clinging has a facination, it is more dangerous
fearful than the fear of life. Here is danger fear
of being sucked back to the mother. He had better
follow his libido than be sucked back to the mother
(regression).

Lifting the arms. Surrender, but here and generally to ward off danger evail eye. We do it on many occasions and it is a real primitive gesture

Blowing. The futile blowing of loose lips before a job such as our loaded desk. Settling down with a blow in a train or in the presence of others as in a tram. Such a person is self conscious and blows away the athlet observers, (as in his unconscious fantasies)

26

Breath as life giving Impregnator. The negroes have a word for a hard wind, the last expiration. When a man is dying the son was expected to recite the last expiration of his dying father. The last breath is the departing spirit.

Breath, life, substance. At the preparation of the Catholic font, the Priest in order to give the water Life, blows across it from the four winds.

In the babylonian story Marmaduk overcomes Tiamat with the help of the Winds.

In the dream this is not a figure of speech but a real appearance from the Collective unconscious of a magic power. The motor is put aside for the Witch, the archaic collective architype.

The patient must see that this is not a personal problem. That he is not a unique personal damn fool. It is not a personal(self and mother) problem but of the general. The depersonalises his relation to the mother, and also with the appearance of the collective problem there rises up all the heliacal powers in the universe which have been used to oppose the architype mother.

MAN is not a Persein.

March 2 1927

The Common Sense Meaning of the Dream. What application has it to Reality? What is the man to do?

The dream came very early in his psa.

27

The dream came very early in his analysis jus whe
n he was beginning to realise some freedom from
the mother

Because of his relation to the picture book the
witch appears that is t ere is a sequence in the
dream Given the first part of the dream (A) the t
t he following part (B) is _because_ of (A)

The man is married and lives on a sperate houe
on his mothers estate They had one child and anot
her was born during his analysis The wife is also
"mother" It was a love marriage But the wife was
not of quite the same social position and circums
stance and it is quite probgle that the man him
self would not have interested her to the point of
marriage had he not been who he was and very weal
thy The mother is of more significance to him
relatively than his wife that is the iwfe is also
a mother

His unconscious impresses him strongly with f
fear and the question is, is he a coward or is
his fear justified, should he be afraid His consc
scious situation is that he is living at home a
useless andpurposeless life He should have direct
ion,and be doing something,He has no occupation,no
profession and it follows he must have inferiority
At this time there should be some clearing up And
in giving advice it should be of a general charac
ter and impressiove (2)

28

He has the natural surplus of Libido for being him
self but because it is not applied it slips or sne
sneaks into the unconscious and then thru the un
conscious reanimates symptoms, behavior and values
which are infantile or adolescent. This dream
appears to increase his fear of the world, is it
then an unsuitable dream? The witch may seem as t
as the outside world

giving him fear of the pictures which are afterall a step toward the outside world. But here is only a book, only pictures of nudity, and his fantasies show that the libido, instead of being applied in the outside world is regressive to these pictures, to infantile or adolescent sex, a sensuous craving. This libido then which is apparently sex libido is regressive social libido so as soon as he has such sex fantasies he must know that his social libido is not being applied but has gone into the unconscious and animated his infantile sexuality that is he is not himself, a self, he is in effect mad, unoriented, undirected, possessed. He should have his mind occupied with thoughts of work, application, not with sex fantasies. Of course his tendency toward sex is in the line of getting free, going out ect, but for him to seek sex action would be stupid, he is too childish unsophisticated, he would only get himself in some stupid or serious mess.

ZDr Jung gave a serious admonition not to repeat

29

these stories out side because of the danger of
accidental identification)

The patient must realise that if he continues al
along this line the witch will always come, that is,
there will always be a return of fear and of the
collective unconscious, that is insanity or neurosis
is. A man who was successful in social and business
has life could have the same dream. People know
what work they should do, it is a subtle "knowing"
they refuse recognition because of what is involved.
Dr Jung here tell the story of a temporary
neurosis"traumatic fear" in his own childhood

"In a struggle with a boy I was struck on the
head and feint. Afterward in the face of difficult
situations in school I would say to my self "now
is the time to feint a little" I repeated this
and had to be taken out of school I was sent to v
various specialist had all the physical examination
and special tests, and there was talk of serious
trauma, epilepsy. One day I overheard a
conversation between my father and one of his friends.
Father said he was greatly worried but he
had decided that if I could not get well enough to
return to school I must go to work. I then realised
that my time had come, so I set to work to study
seriously. I feinted three times in my first
can I do it only on the fifth day of
study could I over come my feinting and return to

30

school. In analysis as in art the presentation of a dream depends on the age of the patient. In this case, the theoretical aspect, that is the witch as Archetype, was so presented to help the patient across The patient was about thirty five and thirty five to forty more or less, may be considered as the zenith of life, that is of the out going Libido.

During the expanding, rising-sun side of life the course of life is explosive. Libido is thrown out to contact with all things, the Self is not, but is these relations, life is the illusion of Things. Past middle life the Libido with its exp experiences is gradually withdrawn from Things and it is necessary then to reconstruct a realtion to Life. The Chinese have the most wonderful philosophy of the latter part of life.

This patient did make a reasonably successful career. He was the kind however who instead of going into life would be indanger of going into Theosophy, and there find many excuses for himself. For instance dream of an Astral Corpse and there with justify all his refusal to go into life.

31

Exposition of a Third Dream

This is the dream of a lady, they have very nice dreams sometimes, she was an American lady quite pretty and smart, she had two children. Her husband was of the same age, at least he was thirty two. He was quite well educated but amasingly naive. He was somewhat homosexual but denied any homosexual experiences, honestly. Some four weeks later he had a dream and then remembered that at college he and his room mate practices mutual masturbation but he did not know that this was homosexual. He had a snow white innocence as to his wife's age. He said she is just my age, than "i dont know" "she wont tell me" Here was a subtle something between them. Of this I got a cue, a revelation from the following story: One evening at a large dinner, in one of those terrible silences, he heard his wife in a loud voice telling of an historical incident which he remembered, their eyes met and she looked away immediately. He worked it out that she must be about six years older than he. He had smething weak or inadquate in his character, she could not trust him with her age, she could not make a complete surrender. She had smme thing about her which gave you the impression that she was not all there not integrated, could be easily influenced and la lacked direction.

32

## The Dream

I was standing under a tree in a thunderstorm (just where one should not be) I discovered that I was covered with catapillars. Litterally every spot on my clothes head and face were covered with these disgusting animals. Some one was helping me pull them off one by one but in doing so tearing out bits of cloth because they clung so fast untill I was stripped naked. Then my mother came and gave me a new dress.

Associations Catapillar-the most disgusting animal they creap and eat only eat, blind disgust and fear

Some one helps". Her analysis

Undressed -liberates her. Her analyst has seen agreeable things (flood of sex fantasies) being naked in the analysts eyes. Catapillars approach from behind *unknown*. They creap on you with ones knowing they are there--like sex fantasies.

The fantasies you removed when I first came" that is her fantasies became conscious with me I was the real man in place of her husband

New dress -- no association with mother

New Dress - new woman. This patient had another dream at the same time followed by awakening and real labor pains lasing some five minutes She had several attacks then stopped She was not pregnant

Assoc. Under the tree --seeking shelter with Pea

33

(The husband a homosexual, is not fully a man there
fore he does not give security She can not make
full surrender to him Not a complete man) In
analysis she is with the father man, may be the
real man i e always"possibly the real man" Some
doubts in her mind whether this relation will
work, she may be struck by the lightning, It is
dangerous because of her floating, undeveloped and
undirected psychology. Like a child with limitless
confidence handing herself out :any man could hav
stept in and taken possession. (lighting) But the
lightning does not strike, catapillars come insted
to make or portend her becoming more conscious.

Catapillar - Her disgusting sex fantasies(which
have come thru in her relation with her analyst)
they were unexpected and she feels inferior they
have a collective aspect She was the kind of woman
who would accouse me of having insinuated these
fantasies upon her i e the tree-- the father anal
yest-- drops these catapillars on her. Projects
these sex fantasies on her. (Under these circumsta
nces one asks her to say what (she thinks) the an
alyst is thinking, then she may be led to admit t
that these were her thoughts) Catapillars are the
most disgusting of all animals to her

A choice of animal is quite characteristic for most
persons

Here catapillar means all the sex fantasies she

Continuation of last dream

In this dream there is no indication of place, (lo
licality) or time Where this is so, the is a
value of the present situation and mainly a mental
problem Time here has no reality or as it would
have were it a real tree or real locality The
present situation here is her analysis some one h
helps her a situation

Why is it not me personally (instead-of-the-tre)
was it because there was no transference or becau
se there was no feeling relation

We don't know because we have not asked her Yes sh
she had a transference, a very extreme dependent
relation, ergo the catapillars are not (a disguis
for )me Some one -- is a blur, a person or figur
only "some one" Freud would say"I am a projection
not a reality" I consider the dream a compensatin
for a perfectly good conscious transference, to help
her unconscious" The transference means nothing i
it is not Jung who helps you, (depreciation of J f
for extreme dependence) it is some one in her se
self I am this some one only as a projection only

36

in her conscious but not in the dream The dream says some one" and means some one not me ergo so some one is a subjective factor

If one dreams of a real person as a thief, it is a projection if and when the conscious of the dreamer person believes it; i.e. projects. The dream has revealed a reality, but the dream does not say that person is a thief; this may or may not be a truth in reality, but it does refer to a subjective figure reality. Here is a compensation for an overvaluation in consciousness of Jung. A dependent transference which keep the patient helpless in her conscious attitude "what can I do with out you when I leave" Her unconscious says "it is not Jung but a some one inside you who helps you". Here is the Animus. Animus is a mere word one must know what it is substantially. Animus is an Archetype. It is here a helper, deus ex machina, a Hermes, or any such god. In the dream the Animus is against Jung a depreciation by the Animus. I, e. the patient should realise the helping power, some one in her self vague and as yet unrealised. In consciousness she project the unconscious attitude and makes me the helper and herself helplessly dependent. The dream therefore denies me Animus is here helpful. The value of the Anikus when negative or positive depends on the conscious attitude.

This patient was simple naive and, differentiated

37

but very sincere,-- sincerity was a real characteristic running thru her relations to me

We as analysts have a tendency an egoistic need to find our selves appearing in our patients dream. We are eagerly looking for a transference. If in the dream I shook the tree or if a man in the tree shook down the catpillars then she could blame me for all her unpleasant sex fantasies.

The Dream, in general makes no projection. It has not our personal psychology. Here the dream says "depend on the same one with in you" -- thus breaking the dependence transference of conscious ness-- do not accept the transference attitude. Make the figure in the dream represent the helpful power with in them selves. The dream is the language and knowledge of the unconscious Common knowledge, collective knowledge, Mt dragoman and many others of that level of culture could interpret this dream correctly, out of their common knowledge, their immediate relation to the collective unconscious.

The Animus as helpful that is the helper who will come, doctor animal, totemEphemordoris, Patron Saint, etc. the impersonal helper

We should not worry. I am opposed to our modern attitude of worry, one should be more passive wait for the "helper", the spontaneous appearance of the helper in one self. The ancients slept in the Temple.

EX 38

the Temple and the God appeared as advisor or hel
helper. The primitive can not afford to worry A
whit man in Africa said that I would be given muc
advice most of it owrthless, but he would give me
some thing of value "dont worry, when in trouble s
sit down light your pipe and wait" The voice of
the father, the God, spirit may come to help you.

The relation of the conscious attitude to the
unconscious is either a projection or understa
ing. The is an anagous relation of conscious nes
to the Anima --us The attitude of the animus may
change from day to day, that si there is a change
in the conscious attitude, a loss of sincerity wi
will be accompanied by a changed attitude of the
Animus The Greek legend of Ariadne as Animus

39

When interpreting the dream stick to what the dre
dream says so the actual words of it,give it real
ity,exclude as much as possible conscious psychol
ogy The dream is what it is and not a facade It
does not say Dr Jung but "some bpdy".

Next part of the dream

Some body picks the catapillars off of her dr
dress and she is naked Stripped of her social
and inherited attitude.To be naked is the purpose
of her analysis Her conduct was always sincere
Frazer gives an old negro legend of how death
came to the owrld Man shed his skin like the sna
snake and was reborn, but an old woman who put on
an old skin died.

Nakedness is a dropping of the old inherited atti
tude. There are no projection and as yet no form
New dress from Mother No associations with Mother
The mother who in reality had repressed and mould
ed her into conventional attitude -- In an old
Greek-Roman Cult there is an admonition" give away
all that thou has then thou shallt recieve" - Bap
tism, - submergence, K acult which burried the
initiate in the earth up to the mouth,the initiate
looses consciousness When consciousness returns h
he is treated as one who has been dead,and resur
rected,he is fed on milk,given new life,all his p
past,his realtions ect are taken away,he is given
a new name,new relations and every thing implying

40

a new life That is a new realtion,a new attitude
to life.

New dress then as new attitude to life

Why from the mother? The real mother represent a
all the patients conventional undeveloped attitude

"Mother here must be the Archetype,i e the perso
ification of the colle ctive unconscious This
follows from the fact that in analysis her new
values have come from the collective unconscious
The patient could not accept the real mother
because she (the real mother) would be in resiste
nce to the new attitude and the patient would be
baffled by the mother figue as real mother.

In 1905 I pointed out that such a dream figure
could not represent the real mother and that it m
must be an Archetype figure I am often represent
ed in the dream as a tailor i e the dream says
tailor" not Dr Jung. The dream can say directly D
Dr Jung when ever it means Dr Jung

Tree means, shelter ,refuge, mother,home, nest.

There is a tree
in the "bush" which 1
lives to a great age and grows to great height an
size These tree are almost always hollow They usu
ally have atree spirit and the negro makes offerig
at the foot of the trunk.When in Africa, I saw a
negro boy who got lost in the woods, in his uncer
tainty he heard his mothers voice,immediately he
knew it was froma certain one of these big trees

41

after that he made offerings to this tree. Tree t
then is the mother of life, the collective uncon-
scious and the catapillars come from it

Being completely covered with Catapillars is going
into the unconscious, there is no self, only the
monstrous (animal) form This is the rebirth situa-
tion This unconscious will give her a new form -
new relation attitude.

This is a very detached and impersonal dream
ergo her relation to me has been extremely person-
al. The dream, that is the unconscious, there for t
tell her the future will come about "this way" The
dream is as extremely detached and impersonal as
an old myth. This impersonal quality or attitude
is the compensation for her conscious personal att-
titude. Morton Princes' Miss Beacham was covered
with cats.

The "Covering Motive" is the presituation to a
possible rebirth.

There are two forms of this motif.

A) being covered with a multitude of "things" (a (animals)

B) being enveloped, i e swallowed by a (one) mon-
ster

The course pursued by these two forms psychologic
#fly and psychiatricly is different

A) the Many, the multitude, means a form of disinte

42

disintegration of the conscious. The personality
is being over come placemeal A multitude of "thing
are coming into the personality and bringing about
disintegration

B) The one, the monster, this is a sudden overcom
ing of the personality The more intense and emoti
onal temperament reaches a point where the person
ality is suddenly submerged and disappears The over
unconscious overwhelms it as a whole

A) This condition will show a subtle deterioration
by very slight signs, the situation is psychotic
the schizophrenic form of Dementia Praecox Its
progress may be very slow while the
second form B) is very sudden The personality is
not subtly modified or deteriorated, it simply
gives place to the unconscious

The Unconscious contains real attitude and prob-
lems and relations. To some people these are never
real, to others they are compelling The unconscious
forces them on one.

The problem of love for the modern man is a prob
lem left unsolved by the middle ages and our own
present day solution is set by criminal and civil
law and by the Church

The pro blem of free will concerns only some p
pwoplw but to them it is compelling

You can not tell a primitive that these things

43

which to him can not be differentiated from really
are only superstitions

What ever our culture and learning may be we
are still in our own unconscious primitive and sup
stitious and we are subject to compulsive manifes
tations, instead of having these "figure" in"the
bush" we have.them in disturbances of the heart
stomach and so forth. The philosopher who has a
neurotic fear of cancer or perverse impulses, does
not include these "figures" in his philosophy or
his psychology, they would distroy it. He is still
a primitive in his unconscious His fears, deasease
and compulsions are figures from his unconscious
The collective unconscious ES in all persons and
always will be

Why the disgust of phobia of animals?
The figures come from the unconscious except the
phobias of traumatic origin

There is a relation between man and animal
When you approach a man or animal with fear or
hate, you are projecting into the man or animal and
he or it resents it you send your devil before y
you, the other reacts to it You invite insult or
attack An example is the woman with the black bir
bird phobia (the story has been told above) She wa
was a remarkable and extreme case of animus poss
ession and the birds would attack her.

44

There is a relation between man and man and between man and animals, man and nature. In Africa they have charmers of hippos, crocodiles, snakes. People have affinities for some animals and an tipathies for some others which is mutual. People an animals have or acquire facial resemblances.

Horse face of horsey people. Anegro tribe known as the fish people. Fish resemblance. Swiss catt le people have a resemblance to their cows which i s eally amusing.

March 16 1927

Dr Jung replies to some questions at the out come of the last case. The direct answer was that the situation was greatly improved but the husband really was inadequate to the fulfillment of the situation.

Some questions about the meaning of nakedness and dress? Both express an attitude an adaptation right or wrong. good or bad. The common sense knowledge of this is in our own customs of dressing pr properly for occasions. Nakedness may mean, no attitude as yet, readiness for an attitude, or an attitude of complete surrender, openness ect. Dress clothes may be the fitting attitude or a formal relationship which for the occasion is wrong. In some artists or particularly actors nakedness may be first a compensation for a too formal, conventional

45

conventional, respectable conscious attitude or
relation to their work i e ikato be naked is what
they must do

thez must do, must get rid of, in o der to react to their
material or plaz their p art Bear footed - bad adaptati
on To be with out a hat, to loose ones head ect. Naked
means being more natural

The pairs of opposites must be lived

The Dream of a Five year Old Child as told by a Mature Man
in the course of his analysis.

This is a very confused and compleü problem. For instance
is it possible FkxxxhuckxhxxxhexChild=Psychology that
such a dream can be Child-Psychology? again how much of
the associations given by the mature man are the child's
and how much the adults and do the associations really
bear on the child's problem

First I want to call your attention to a peculiarity in
this and some other dreams Often an adult brings a first
dream which for some reason,I can not quite explain, gives
me the feeling or impression that it is not new, that it c
carries a theme which is really a Life Theme - a Fate. For
example a woman in analysis dreamed that she and her chil
dren are run over by a locomotive (some over powering
force) but they are not in the least injured This same
woman when she was four years old had the dream or fantas
ie (she can not distinguish between them) that she was r
run over by an outomobile,some one picks her up ,She thin

46

thinks that she is seriously injured but walks away unhurt

This is the dream of a child, a young boy of five years. The patient is a clergeman who is not altogether sure of himself and his religious position. Physically he is a small man, unimposing but intelligent and well informed both in theology and history and collateral subjects. He has the inferiority of a small man and compensates by positive statements and the attitude of being an imposing personality. A questioning attitude toward his statement of fact opinion or dogma would bring out a violent assertiveness but when allowed to talk to a sympathetic attitude he was reasonable quiet and intelligent. In short he had doubts, fear a "slight trembling" and insecurity. Because of this state of mind he was irritable, slept badly and had digestive troubles. His reading of history, science, etc. had created questions in his religion, as it must with any intelligent man. The story of the catching of the multitude of fishes is told in two places in the Bible in one it tells that the net was torn, in the other it very specifically states that the net was not torn.

He recalled a dream which he had had when he was five years old. He had always felt that this dream had a meaning, a value for him, although he had no idea of the interpretation of dreams. Still it seemed to him to be some thing important always and so it would be in such a case - a thread, some fatality running thru his life.

The dream He was lying in his little bed at night, alone and afraid. His parents slept in the next room. Suddenly t

47

the door of t eir room opened and a spook or spectre in w
white came thru the door into his room The figure was not
clear, The figure beckoned to him to get up and follow "It"
took him to the W C (locus real) and told him to pull up
his shirt behind. It then took a tomato and rubbed his ba
back with it The juice painted his skin red It then order
ed him to put the whole W C on his back and carry it out
into the garden.

Associations The technique for such and early dream in an
adult is difficult The patient now and then has a differ
ent consciousness. He gave association a child would not
have given in fact a child of five would hardly have given
any associations. The following associations are more or
less selected.

In bed -- The patient has many clear memories of the per
iod of the period of the dream He was often afraid at
night and he had his mother come to him She would sit
beside him untill he went to sleep. Fear has a purpose
it is a means to an end. He would cry for his mother
One has to get fear first before crying evn adufts know
that. Is it sufficient to say that he wants his mother
Has that really told us any thing? The fear comes first
then the crying for his mother But we want some thing else
May we assume a specific reality in general? We would have
said some years ago that the spectre was the mother come
to comfort him but why should the dream mother come as a
ghost?

The child's psychology is not its own. First in the womb

48

then in the world, the child's psychology is solely a
"participation mystique" In this participation the
mother has an uncanny, a fear producing relation to the
child. Very often the child has a very definite fear of
the mother even though the real mother be an altogether
loving and loved woman.

I had two girls, aged sixteen and eighteen years
who mother was a very fine woman, lovable, generous
companionable and very much loved by these children
(here Dr Jung gave a very lightfully subtle dramatization
of a real conversation between these girls about
their mother)

Isnt mother wonderful

I've never seen any one like her

It's too funny, some time I can not believe that she is so
nice

Yes some time I wonder the same way

Some times I dream about her

Oh I have horrid dreams about her she is a cruel witch
and going to kill us!

Mother love vs mother witch Mother an uncanny phantom an
evil spirit. The dream wants the boy to see the other side
of the mother The other side of his apprehending of the
mother,

It takes him to the WO ( when such an object as a WO appears one may look for a very complete truth buried lie of associations He recalls that once when his mother took him to the WO the seat was soiled with blood He was hor

49

horrified and asked his mother about it. She only smiled that peculiar knowing smile but said nothing. He got a peculiar grewsome impression even sinister from this smile which seemed to mean some thing. Eight years after he shut himself in this same WC and stood looking out the window in a sad mood. He reflected on the beauty of the day and the out of doors the wonderful blue sky, the garden enclosed by a fence, beyond which was a field and then the woods up the hill side. He was deeply sad about all this beauty and out of doors A sadness with regret He then too took a knife and scratched the skin on his chest until the blood came, felling or thinking "I could kill my self this way". Later during puberty, when his mother taled of this the beautiful day, he suddenly flew into a terrific rage at her and had a violent hatred of her.

Associations. Blood on the WC. Mothers mysterious smile. Growsome and sinister impression. Fear. This mother has murdered a child, I am a child I am the next victim

That is to say it is an Archetypal situation which is constellated in the child by the dual attitude of the mother. The destruction of children is a myth theme and a historic fact. It was a Roman custom to present the new born child to the father, if he did not look at it, it was destroyed. Primitive and mythic. Ogres. Sacrificing of child. Then this fear is of the Archetype in the child. The mother enigmatic smile, is, to the child a bloody secret in the mother. "So my little man would like to know this secret" (menstruation) but to the child this is the bloody secret of the mother.

50

Wild animals do not kill their young. Only animals in captivity, domestic animals and man and this is handed down thru participation mystique. There is a participation mystique between the criminal and the locus or the victim of his crime. A lower order of criminal will always leave some thing identified with himself (in analysis one leaves something when the hour has been incomplete). The murderer returns to the locus. Always participation mystique. The Nor sk say the hero has snake eyes, the heros other side is the snake. In primitive and Indian customs there is identification mystique with buffalo stag ect, in rituals or dancing before hunting e.xpedition, even with the enemy before war or a raid. Jealous men get up homosex ual fantasies. I dentification fantasies.

My negro carriers were of a quiet semi pastoral farni
ing tribe their naighbors the Massai were a powerful pe
people of warriors and raiders My people greatly feared t
them When my carriers were gatting tired under their real
Ly heavy loads they would chant together" Lull Massai
Lull Massai" meaning that they were entering a participa
tion mystique and thus getting the Massain endurance

The child is often the victim of the parent. If the
mother has been too loving, too one sided the child is dep
pendent indeed If it is not certain of the mothers love
it develops fear. The extreme one sided love reaction of
parent and child constellates some form of unconscious
opposite in both. The child gets it - the opposite, the

51

doubt, the uncertainty In this dependence of the child
there is the need of more and more love, the need of re
assurance and the mother unwittingly gives signs of the
opposite in herlef,

In the unconscious the mothers detached enigmatic smile
gives the child the sense of lost support, of love

Smile? blood? Fear, -- Archetype constellated "She" might
hurt me "She might come into my room and hurt me" So he
calls her at night to reassure himself. The first Arche
type is constellated with fear then the need of support
love and reassurance Crying, that is calling the loving mo
mother

The story of Der

Todt

52

The same mechanism and results are in the girl-mother relation.

Scratching his skin for blood Sadness and loscked in the room Looking out on the beautiful world

This situation is the living out of the Archetype fantasi
doing "it" himself Why isn't he too afraid of the knife an
blood? Because he is carried into the situation by a
participation mystique with the mother The identified mot
mother-witch is suggesting death to the son via the expres
sion of love "It" the spectre mother gets into him We
can become identical with our enemy

All symptoms in general are at the same time sickness
and processes of or attempts at cure We now know that few
fever is the expression of natures defense mechanism In
neurosis symptoms have the same purposeful character That
is the child drawing blood doing what the mother would do

doing in ḥuzziyyatik another way what the
mother would do, it is an anticipation against the fear ed
doing of it by the mother,

The negro dreams that his enemy is coming to burn him so
he has his relations burn one of his feet against the
enemyies propheisied act (Personal _observation_. He was ser
iously injured and was laid up for weeks)

In the Jewish legend the lamb of sacrifice in anticipa
pation of the killing of the first born, that is by the sy
symbolic act Similia similibus The angel of death will
pass over, that is save the child.

55

"The mother has killed a child in this WO I don't want to be that child, I will do it my self" Suspense leads to figurative suicide

Beautiful world - The out of doors, the fields and particularly the distant woods mean to him the outer world The mother is preventing him from going into the outer world keeping him from what he wants - this in opposition to the need of mother support and love.

This mood went on thru all these years then in puberty when the mother speaks of the beautiful day beautiful woods, he reacts differently, bursts into a terrific rage and hate of the mother. Again the mother plays the ambiguous role. Here she speaks of the beautiful, which the child sensed was all this time denied him by the mother that is "she" does not let him go. he by his need of love, and support which the mother has bred in him, can not go.

She by love in the conscious is protecting him against fear, yet she presents to him that beautiful world. One should weigh both sides, do full justice to both parties but particularly to both sides of each person. It is as it were a Fate.

The mother died when he was yet a boy and he could not tell me much about her. She was probably a woman uncontrolled, over and indulgently affectionate. Her smile was the enigmatic smile of mana Lisa. In the WO it would be "you little man would like to know". Woman have a blood psychology. The secret and aside conversations in the presence of children arouse the curiosity, suspicion and fear in

54

children The common situation of mother and son sexuality
the half telling, the half showing, intriquig and teasing
the child's mind

The adolescent outbreak of rage was a new relation
(symptom) an attempt to free him self from the love bonda
age to the mother Using the knife to forestall, to disarm
to "kill" the mother, "Such a boy must first kill the
mother" There are mother who pour all sorts of thing in
to growing boys

The sight of the blood on the WC. Should not be consid
ered as the cause of t is drama The cause is the over
determined that is a split relation between mother and s
in each
son Because of this condition the sight of the blood the
smile, the unconsciou archetype is constellated

The child's mind is undifferentiated untill it begins to s
ay "I" Its mind is completely in participation mystique
with the parents

By the parents exaggerated onesidedness the soul of the
child is burried under the load of respectibility St

All this an intuition of a terrible world, as the world i
is so ( with out support of the mother love) so he prefers

56

the scene in the WC. The drawing of blood is the apotheosis. Learning the great paradox of the world.

"It" orders him to take the WC on his back and carry it into the garden. The patient is very specific in describing the locus of the WC. He thinks that it has some significance even makes a drawing. It is a "back house" that is it is adjoining a stable at the end of a corridor which connects it with the house in a peculiar way.

He says, "it is the original form of the Crucifixion." A It would be taking the Cross upon me."

A child has been sacrificed there, now he must carry it into the garden. The beautiful world. The garden the woods are the big world. In the face of this impossible task he got a night mare Association — Transitus Garden of Gethesemene, Golgotha, hr quoted Bunyon, "Letting his burden fall at Golgotha. The garden — the world. What has the moth or placed in him All this filth cruelty etc released in him the intuition of the dark heart of himself. He should not now project it but carry his own Cross He must go into the world with it, live it, be it. Mother as "It" is the baleful side of the mother, the world. But is the world and the night so bad as this, that is the world evil in itself? Only when one can not accept it. The dangerouest etc are often useful.

57

A discussion. Could a child of five have such a dream
Dr Jung says "Yes" the material of the dream is not of the
child but of the inherited collective, of course many of
the associations must be adult as for instance that Count
Zindendorf was what he was

March 23 1927

The question was asked if a child can get the mothers unc
conscious, can it get the parents personal conscious?
Dr Jung Analysed a man thru the dreams of his son aged
8 or 9 The man would not dream After a very complete ana
mnesis he said that his son had wonderful dreams When he
brought me these dreams I saw that they were the presenta
tation of his own problem After some wekks of working thi
way the man himself began dreaming and the boy stopt drea
ming and was much less nervous Later the boy began making
symboloc drawing, very crude On his mothers birth,day he g
gave her a drawing for apresent A mohtain train and the
figure of a woman on the trail and above the nontain some
symbolic figures Then he said to the mother"this is you"
The picture was correct,I analysed the mother later There
must be in the child what he gets from the mother that is
an Archetype

What we would keep secret if it remains in the unconscio
us will be revealed some one will get it. A secret should
be in consciousness.

A girl patient refused marriage. Her dreams were so ver
obvious that I was often tempted to reveal them to her

58

and bring about the marriage but I worked with her for tw
two years before the sedret was revealed Had I induced
marriage before that it would have failed The secret in t
the unconscious would have ruined her marriage
The question is asked of the relation of intui tion in the
child mind?

The child has relatively no individual mind there for no
conscious insight and very little individual psychology
But the child as collective has a greater chance of getti
ing into or expressing the collective but it can not rec
ognise the coll ctive untill it is grown up
This man as an adult recovered his childhood feeling and
intuitions during his analysis The child is both
adult and child. When the child (certain types of childre
n) revolt at punishment,particularly by one who is not th
father,it is an"adult" reaction but comes from the collec
tive.

The collective is as it were half grown,not child nor yet
full man So collective dreams from a c ils require a spec
ial technoque for this relative age

Primitive show a recognition of the collective side of
the child They do not educate or discipline or punish
children,because it would offend the ancestral spirit
who would have his revenge by taking the child,which would
mean death. The ancestral spirit is the child while an an
individual psychology is as yet undeveloped. Only at the
initiation at puberty,do they begin discipline Here they s
suppress the child and force into being the collective

59

individual. This necessary to the life of the tribe or cl
elan The child must grow up and be identified with the c
collective life so far as possible as an individual i e
with responsibility

Question What is the nature of the cleverness of the
prepuberty preccocious child? This is probably the coll

Returning to the dream

The ghost is an Archetype there is no race that does not
belive in ghost Most universally valid belief The sun in
its course,birth zenith and death is an Archetype. The
origin of the ghost archetype is from dreams and visions
hallucinations and memoery images. But it is so because o
of the sensuous reality of all images in primatives The
image is so complete in its sensuous quakities that it
can not be distinguished from object realities That is
the image is real All their psychic experiences are concr
crete real. Words for example are magic,the doctrine of
Transubstantiation is made real by magic (concretism)
of words

60

The Sophists tried to destroy the magis of words by
their famous syllogisms Example "

"Do you know your father

Is this your father behind the veil? Ect

In the concrete sense "know your father" is knowing your father. It is not subject to any conditions (Time ofocr aties).

Our thoughts and words have little of the Abody" which wo
words have for the primitive. We still use expressions
and indeed have feeling of this sort." An idea has come
into or fallen into my head" Einfallen. It has come in
from above and penetrated clear thru me gotten under my
skin. The primitive would say "my serpent says to me"
A civilised man in a panic acts wildly automatically. To
the primitive things move of them selves, direct magic
Even the present day Chinese will smile at our refusal to
believe in magic. To him magic is accepted and on his level
it happens. He simply knows that we as we are can not know
magic. Death even may come thru the unconscious. An Engli
shman in Africa, tried to get a guide to show the secret
place of some Tribal Gods. Every negro refused to take him
One however for a good price agreed. Before doing it how
ever, he went in secret and with his own hands moved and
hid away the principle God. After showing the place he
went home and told his wife that he was surely going to do
die because he had touched the God and he lived only a fe
few days. There was similar instance in Switzerland some
thirty years ago. A more or less prosperous farmer, who w

was a garulous old man of 61 and had only one affection
in life the trees in his orchard. He had one son aboy of
fifteen who hated him This boy to get even with his father
drove a nail into a young tree in the orchard The old man
was much disturbed by the unexplained presence of this nail
The boy watched him in his orchard and every day drove t
the nail in a little further Finally the old man began get
ting queer and as the nail went further in he got worse an
and talked of dying The day he discovered the nail driven
home he died of appoplexy The story got out and was taken
to the court The boy of course did not see the connection
with his father's death but unconsciously he had done just
what the primitive does consciously, - the father also
The magic had been used and had worked Then the boy devel
oped a bad neurisis

When on the Magic Level of mentality these things really
happen.

An all hating person can in time do great damage by
reaching the magic of the primitive level of an other
person as by a cooperation on the collective level Prima
tives have an Anima, they say "it say to me" We say
"I or you say" We learn in analysis to distinguish "it"
the voice of the Anima,
