Title: Active Imagination
Post by: Jitendra Hydonus on May 18, 2022 05:42 pm
I started this thread because our Brother Eric has had so may profound experiences with various stages of consciousness. Most notably various forms of dreams.

Active Imagination in Contemporary Psychology
In contemporary psychology, the term active imagination is most commonly associated with a tendency to have a very creative and present imagination rather than with the Jungian process. However, dream analysts may still use the process of active imagination to help people understand the meaning of their dreams, resolve hidden interpersonal conflicts, and work past pressures placed on the conscious ego by the unconscious mind.
