4 Jungian Analyses
Jungian analytical psychology offers different clinical tools. Each work begins from different material and flows differently. You can choose what your mind brings today.
Shadow Projection Analysis
First gate · Entry-level Jungian work
When a person keeps irritating you, or the same conflict repeats in a relationship.
The person who irritates · who you hate · who oddly attracts you.
von Franz's 5 stages of withdrawal of projection — examining how what you see in them lives in you.
"The quality I hated in them was actually a part of me" — recognition.
Dream Analysis
Parallel · Mid-stage
When you have a memorable dream, or recurring dreams of similar kind.
A dream from last night or recent.
Jung's 4-stage analysis (description → amplification → compensation+prospective → assimilation) + 4-act drama structure.
The real meaning your dream is moving toward + how to apply it daily.
Active Imagination
Deepening · Meeting dream figures
When you want direct dialogue with the figures or images that have appeared in dreams.
An inner figure / image / personified emotion that arises.
Jung's Active Imagination — "Who are you? What do you want to teach me?" Dialogue with a personality.
A living relationship with inner figures.
Free Deep Exploration
Integration · Open exploration
When you want to follow whatever the mind brings today, without a set topic.
Open — whatever you bring today.
Free association + complex/archetype identification — follow what arises, discover your own patterns.
Recognition of self-patterns + the next step in individuation.
Clinical depth sequence — reference
In Jungian psychology, the usual sequence is below. But there's no fixed path — your own flow matters most.
Early (1st gate): Shadow — same gender, relatively easy to recognize.
Parallel: Dream analysis — multi-layered view of the unconscious with shadow work.
Deepening: Active imagination — direct encounter with dream figures.
Integration: Free deep — next stage of individuation toward integration.
