Psychologie snu - Včetně výkladu 500 symbolů – Aeppli Ernst (2024)

The book presents an insightful treatise on the significance of dreams. The first part describes the methodology of dream interpretation, various functions of dreams (compensatory, situational, reductive, etc.), and types of dreams, for example, by depth (ordinary, more serious, major archetypal) or age (childhood, puberty, at the threshold of death, etc.). The author also emphasizes the importance of groups of dreams that revolve around a single theme. The second part includes a brief characterization of 500 symbols that most commonly appear in dreams. While these interpretations cannot be taken literally, they can provide certain clues for finding the meaning of dreams. The symbols are organized by thematic areas (e.g., dreams about food, school, animals, houses, colors, music, film). The book is intended for those who seek to perceive dreams as important messages from their psyche and want to learn something about what has escaped their consciousness in the daily hustle. It is also suitable for psychotherapists who interpret dreams with their clients. Ernst Aeppli was a Swiss psychologist and collaborator of C. G. Jung.
