Caifang (Jeremy) Zhu, C.G. Jung on the Nature and Interpretation of Dreams: A Developmental Delineation

(This presentation was a part of CIIS Multiversity February 2008.)

Jung interpreted about 80,000 dreams. Based on a systematic study of the dream articles found throughout The Collected Works of C.G. Jung, this paper portrays a developmental trajectory of Jung’s changing views on dreams and their interpretations. I broadly trace his development into three phases: (1) firm partisanship with Freud, where Jung accepted the theory of fulfillment of repressed wishes and excessively applied free association and sex theory; (2) Jung’s most original contributions, epitomized by the compensation theory, and (3) his final stand of relativity and fluidity expressed in 1961 (e.g. compensation theory is just a hypothesis). The paper posits that Jung’s last essay, "Symbols and the Interpretation of Dreams" epitomizes his definitive stand.

Jeremy presented this paper at the Fourth International Conference on Humanistic and Transpersonal Psychologies and Psychotherapies in Guangzhou, China during September of 2007.

Jeremy Zhu taught in Beijing for over a decade; from 2001-2004, went to Harvard Divinity School where he got a Master for Theological Studies degree with a concentration on Buddhist and Psychology; worked two years as a teaching fellow at Harvard; and Chaired the Harvard Buddhist Community and gave Tai Chi instruction class to the Divinity School community. From September 2004 through August 2005, he trained as a chaplain at St Mary’s Medical Center in San Francisco while living and training in SF Zen Center. Jeremy enrolled in the East-West psychology Ph.D. program in 2005 and has had over 10 academic papers published in China, Taiwan, USA, and UK. Jeremy practices meditation regularly and frankly acknowledges he is a perfectly imperfect person…
