info_outline“We are engines with millions of feedback loops… And dreams are a balancing process”
We are joined by well-known U.K. Jungian analyst Dr Roderick Peters who’s been working in the field of dreams for more than 40 years. We look at the Jungian perspective on dreaming and its symbolic world of archetypes, opposites and individual and collective consciousness.
Roderick recalls a powerful dream that he had when he was aged 3 or 4 about the nature of individuation and the separation of a child’s consciousness from that of its mother. This amazing dream has stayed with him all his life and set him on the path to studying his dreams on a daily basis since childhood.
He also talks about his career as a doctor working in a sleep lab before he decided to become a Jungian psychoanalyst.
Finally, Roderick joins in with offering interpretations for this episode’s Dream of the Week, sent in from a listener who goes to a dream theatre and meets a famous actress.
For Roderick as a Jungian, dreams are where we explore “the organs of our psyche through the archetypes.”
Dr Roderick Peters has written several books including Living With Dreams published by Andre Deutsch. He lectures and has written many interesting papers which can be found on his website. His has a therapeutic practice in London and Surrey and is a member of the British Psychoanalytic Council.
