Carl Jung's influence on modern psychology extends beyond Freud, especially through concepts like individuation and introversion/extroversion.
Dreams can reveal repressed aspects of ourselves, helping us make more authentic decisions and discover new possibilities. Nightmares can signal that we're ready to confront our fears and shed outdated aspects of ourselves.
Jung's insights now pervade fields like transpersonal psychology, viewing humans as radically interconnected individuals. Movements stem from 1960s counterculture, involving psycho-experimentation with psychedelics, meditation, and consciousness-altering practices.
