JUNG LOVE: This Week's Bonus Dream Interpretation

Hey Supporters, This week, we're discussing a dream submitted by one of our supporters, a 32-year-old man who works as a communications manager: "The dream begins with scenes from an intense medieval battle. I see it in glimpses, but we contend against an enemy host with swords and spears. I slay many of the enemy, and there is a lot of carnage. It vaguely feels like a holy war. Then, I'm walking with two comrades, a man and a woman, through a modern town. The woman walks in front of a store and is suddenly blasted by a huge ball of fire. The man who is dressed like Thor from Norse mythology tries to peek around the corner to see where the fire came from and meets the same fiery fate. A store employee shot the fireballs. She's a woman about my age wearing a dark red dress. She's skeptical of me, and I fear her for obvious reasons, but eventually we become friends and even fall in love. One day, she hears me tell my whole story of the battle and hears all the details of the gruesome ordeal. She can't help but punish me and sends a fireball the size of an SUV after me. It slowly follows me as I run to protect myself in a naturally occurring fountain. The fountain is a big circle on the ground where water is softly flowing up from cracks in the dark stone. I try to dive into the water, but it's too shallow. I somehow manage to burrow underneath the stone, which successfully shelters me. The fireball lingers for a day or maybe longer, sitting just above the fountain. Under the water and stone, I am entrapped in a kind of cell with animals who can speak. They are like gorillas. They want to break free, but I fear the fire is still above us. When I'm sure the fire is gone, I show them how to open the gate. We emerge to the surface, where my love who tried to kill me, embraces me once more." Thanks for supporting This Jungian Life! ~Joseph
