Thanks for your reply to Devac. I would have babbled something about dream symbolism, attics (imagination), basements and tunnels (the subconscious, the shadow), blah blah.

I wasn't aware of the background to Jung's theories. I'll definitely look into it more. I preferred him to Freud, probably because I loved the symbolism - and the notion of a universal common human experience.

I used to apply Jung's allegorical journey to my reading of Tarot cards, back when I was a moonbat, but in truth, the only thing I believed in was my own scepticism.

bfv how did you get to Jung? through music lyrics, or through some other means?
