PLAY ALL THE PARTS

Swiss psychoanalyst and mystic, Carl Jung suggests that everything we dream represents an aspect of ourselves. If we dream we are having tea with a cat in a pink swimsuit, we are the cat, the swimsuit, the tea itself, the place where the tea is served and so on. When we work with a dream, insight can be obtained by communicating with or becoming each of the parts in turn (see Chapter 7 for further information). Communicating with or through all aspects of our visualisations, gives us insight and also many new viewpoints to work with.
