Marion Woodman: Foreword to Jill Mellick’s The Art of Dreaming: Marion Woodman: Foreword to Jill Mellick’s The Art of Dreaming Foreword by Marion Woodman Some people say, “Of course, I honor my dreams, even if I don’t know what they are about.” Some say, “I never dream,” or “I dream, but I can’t remember my dreams.” Others say, “I dream, but I can’t make any sense of my dreams.” Still others may say, “I think I understand my dreams, but I know I’m not getting to the heart of them.” Beginners, veterans, therapists, and counselors—anyone who has experienced any of these responses, yet genuinely yearns to explore dreams in their full beauty and intricacy—will surely treasure The Art of Dreaming. The author, Jill Mellick, is a musician, artist, and psychotherapist who honors the unconscious in the poetry of her own life.
Resolution ~ The Red Book: In the third night, deep longing to continue experiencing the mysteries seized me. The struggle between doubt and desire was great in me. But suddenly I saw that I stood before a steep ridge in a wasteland. It is a dazzling bright day I catch sight of the prophet high above me. His hand makes an averting movement, and I abandon my decision to climb up. I wait below, gazing upward. I look: to the right it is dark night; to the left it is bright day The rock separates day and night. On the dark side lies a big black serpent, on the bright side a white serpent. They thrust their heads toward each other, eager for battle.
Soul in The Red Book – Anthology: My soul: “Who gives you thoughts and words? Do you make them? Are you not my serf a recipient who lies at my door and picks up my alms? And you dare think that what you devise and speak could be nonsense? Don’t you know yet that it comes from me and belongs to me?” ~Carl Jung, Red Book, Page 241. The soul has its own peculiar world. Only the self enters in there, or the man who has completely become his self, he who is neither in events, nor in men, nor in his thoughts. ~Carl Jung, The Red Book, 240. He whose desire turns away from outer things, reaches the place of the soul. ~Carl Jung, The Red Book, Page 233. My friends, it is wise to nourish the soul, otherwise you will breed dragons and devils in your heart. ~Carl Jung, The Red Book, Page 232. The dead who besiege us are souls who have not fulfilled the principium individuationis, or else they would have become distant stars. Insofar as we do not fulfill it, the dead have a claim on us and besiege us and we cannot escape them. ~Carl Jung; The Red Book; Appendix C; Page 370 Man is a gateway, through which you pass from the outer world of Gods, daimons, and souls into the inner world, out of the greater into the smaller world. Small and inane is man, already he is behind you, and once again you find yourselves in endless space, in the smaller or inner infinity. ~Carl Jung; The Red Book; Page 354. But the spirit of the depths had gained this power, because I had spoken to my soul during 25 nights in the desert and I had given her all my love and submission. But during the 25 days, I gave all my love and submission to things, to men, and to the thoughts of this time. I went into the desert only at night. ~Carl Jung, The Red Book, Page 238.

The seminars ran for a total of eleven days, six days on Bailey Island and five days in New York. Jung’s lecture series was titled “Dream Symbols of the Individuation Process.” The dreams presented were those of physicist and Nobel Prize laureate Wolfgang Pauli (1900–1958). Jung went into far greater detail concerning the personal aspects of Pauli’s dreams than anywhere else in his published work.
