As we can see, in this dream the problem of reaching the center is posed.
The center represents for Jung the archetype of psychic totality which is the goal and finality of the analytical work.
Dream interpretation supports this approach and is focused on the
dreamer's associations and especially on Jung's interpretation which explains to the dreamer the meaning of his dream.
In doing this, he appeals to the so-called amplification consisting in
finding various cultural sources such as myths, religious items, folklore tales and so forth that offers another versions of the dream symbols.
Thus he succeeds to discover the meaning of the symbols.
This meaning is seen as a precious information about what happens in the dreamer unconscious.
It is obvious that the Jungian analysis is not limited to a single dream.
Finally, let us stress that dreams of this kind, which produce amazing symbols, can also be encountered outside the analytical process with healthy people.
Some specific aspects of Jung's interpretation of dreams can be summarized as follows:
subject level - dreams are interpreted in relation to the dreamer's person, on a subjective level;
prospective approach - dreams often show how the dreamer's psychological situation will evolve (an important aspect on an analytical seance);
compensation
- meaning the dream is a form of compensation for the dreamer's current psychological situation.
