From earliest beginnings of human civilization, we have considered

dreams a doorway to the soul. Jung saw that they showed us parts of

ourselves that were being rejected by our waking consciousness:

strengths unexpressed and shadow figures run amok; qualities that we

were missing about ourselves; and desires that we’d rather not

acknowledge.

​The mission of dreams was to balance us, to compensate for our often

​one-sided attitude toward life and lead us to integrate what we need for

health and growth. We know today that dreams can have messages for

us that are not only psychologically relevant, but even biologically

urgent, relaying information about illness. Jung introduced the term

“wholeness” to describe the aim of the unconscious:an increasing

​ completeness in the unique being that we are.
