Do people who intentionally have lucid dreams do it just for fun or because it actually helps them get what they want?
Carl jung is a highly influential psychiatrist for his work about the unconscious mind.
He believes that by interpreting symbolic messages in our dreams, we can uncover hidden inner conflicts, desires and fears. This practice fosters personal growth and self-discovery.
This practice is associated with shadow integration
Shadow integration is like shining a light on the parts of yourself that you usually keep hidden or don’t want to think about. It’s about facing your fears, insecurities, and other uncomfortable feelings, understanding why they’re there, and accepting them as a natural part of who you are. By doing this, you become more aware of yourself and feel more complete as a person.
Now imagine if you did this while lucid…
Lucid dreams can be used as a nightly session of self discovery.
some people speak with the characters in their dreams and ask them questions about themselves. This could be considered a conversation with your subconscious.
