[kj] OT: Jungian dream analysis

[nicholas fitzpatrick]

I had a dream the other night about getting ripped off by a guy in a bar. My 
question is: if it’s my dream and this guy is my creation, why didn’t I see 
it coming?

In the dream I was having a drink with a friend and this other guy came over 
a bit drunk and got talking to us. He was okay and asked me to lend him £5. 
I did do (which is something I wouldn’t do in real life). Anyway, a little 
later he sponged a drink off my friend. I thought, why does he need to 
sponge a drink when I’ve already lent him a fiver?

As I was about to put the question to him, he hopped off laughing into 
dreamland and I woke up feeling thoroughly furious at my gullibility, and 
confused about why I had no power in a situation created entirely in my own 
head.

Searching for an answer, no matter how New Age, I look to Carl Gustav Jung – 
whose theories I fail to understand, but it doesn’t matter. I believe this 
character was some form of archetype with his own will that is not subject 
to mine. He was a sort of mischieveous Irish leprechaun archetype. W at nker.
