While Active Imagination was a method that was unique to Jung, Dream Analysis is something that was shared by both Jung and Freud. As a matter of fact, Freud saw Jung as his future successor, someone worthy of carrying on the torch of psychoanalysis.

Whereas Freud have interpreted things based on his Psychosexual theory of development as a bias, Jung was more open to the collective unconscious and the possibility of a desire that doesn’t emanate from our sexual needs.

At one point, both Freud and Jung agrees that dreams stem from the unconscious. In this case, the unconscious can be defined simply as the totality of one’s experience and one’s thoughts which are not brought to the light of consciousness.

In this case, we can look at the unconscious as something that collects all information and subtle interpretations of it without necessarily discussing them. For instance, when you are reading this article, your consciousness focuses on the content that is present in this paragraph.

However, the whole reading requires an entirety of various experiences such as the black iPhone with a jelly case in your hand right now, or the flickering old fluorescent light that is in your room.

Even the old wooden door before it is part, in as much as those marble tiles are. All these information are understood by your brain.

The only thing is that our focus is the one highlighted by consciousness, with all else being mere background information that doesn’t matter as much.
