We have repeatedly said that the dream is direct, according to Freud, "Royal Road to the Unconscious."
The unconscious is primarily personal ownership. However, the follower of Freud Carl Jung introduced into the psychology the concept of "collective unconscious", i.e., some common field, which is unconsciously and is available for many people of one family, groups, even the people.
A lot of examples of the "collective unconscious" can be learned from folk fairy tales and gods. They keep the memory and the entire experience of the people. For example, if Ivan is then he is a fool. But for some reason, everything happens to him and he happens, and he also happens, and not someone else, finds himself a special woman, princess.
The collective unconscious is available to us through certain myths and legends who are ravenly in society, through fairy tales and legends who read children.
In the family, the collective unconscious is available through dreams. Thus, each family member has direct connection with close and relatives.
Here are some examples. The first letter sent a three-year-old boy's mother:
"At 4 am, I dream bright and deep sleep.
I dive with scuba under water. My friend is with me, and it seems like she is my student. I am dressed, as it should be, in full uniform and wetsuit, and it is in a swimsuit.
And I must say that the conditions of diving are severe: a strong flow, waterways, burning corals.
I wonder how I could let her in water without a water-beam?
And then, it begins to carry it downstream, twist in the waterways, chat and throw.
I understand that I can cope with the situation, and she is a beginner and does not know at all what to do.
I scream to her: "Relax, do not fight! And most importantly, breathe !!! "
I'm thrown out of sleep in dizziness, I understand that I am no longer sleeping.
And suddenly, at that very moment, my son begins to tear, he lies on his back. I jump out of bed and manage to turn it. Here is a dream. It looks like the connection between me and my son. "
This example is exciting, even a little frightening. However, we can observe that sleep to some extent reflects what is happening in reality. Someone, for whom the dreaming is responsible in a dream, needs her help and in order to breathe correctly, so as not to choke. When she wakes up, the reality is that her son can choose if it does not help.
Parallel sleep and reality are clear and transparent. And it is worth a glance for that solid connection that there is a mother and her son. In such respects, it is under reliable protection.
And we can observe how the dream sends us messages about who is with us in the general field. Through sleep, we have access to the unconscious of our family.
We now move on to the second example. He was sent to the editors a young girl:
"I needed to go to the city N in January 2012 to study. On the eve I dreamed of a strange and terrible dream, in which a woman dreamed of, who called me on the phone. She said: "Ivanovka - the city of N-see! Cover only your coffin closed. " And hanged the phone. After that, I woke up in a terrible condition ... I never dreamed of nightmares, especially such ... Ivanovka is a village where I live. To the city N - 300 km. And this woman in a dream, as I understand it, I predicted death on this highway. Who she is, I do not know. I disappeared a big amount of money I transferred to the Institute to go to learn. Because of this sleep, I did not go to the city, although I was very necessary. My experiences about this is not to convey ... I do not know what to do. I have already tried to go there several times, went to church, but I as if someone keeps me much ... What should I do ??? Of course, I was very worried on the eve of the trip to this city, I was afraid that something would happen to me there may be, so I saw such a dream, and maybe there is no ... "
With this dream will be more complicated. We see that through the dream of a dreaming knows something frightening it. You can consider this dream to prophecy, you can explain it to a mystical sign. If we adhere to the direction that sleep is a connection with our family and come, then I would recommend the girl to study the history of her family for several generations ago.
Perhaps, such misfortunes have already happened in the family of this dream, and in a dream she learned about them. It is possible that they do not belong to it, but she has a connection with those members of the genus that these misfortunes occur. There is a whole direction of family therapy, which explores the history of our ancestors. And the general conclusion is: the greater the family in the extended composition: grandparents, great-grandmothers and great-grandfathers, our parents, we ourselves accumulate secrets, the less talk about some events, including sudden deaths and accidents (as in the example of our heroine) Moreover, the chances that these events are repeated in subsequent generations. To some extent, their children can be secured from unwanted repetitions in detail to find out the history of their ancestors.
But this is a completely different story.
