Dream And Myth Interpretation

Dream and Myth Interpretation is a book written by Herbert Silberer, which explores the relationship between dreams and myths. The author argues that dreams and myths are both products of the human psyche and that they share many similarities in terms of their symbolism and meaning. Silberer suggests that dreams can be interpreted as a form of myth, and that myths can be understood as a collective dream of a society or culture. The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on dream interpretation and provides a detailed analysis of the various symbols and archetypes that appear in dreams. Silberer draws on the work of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, among others, to explore the psychological significance of these symbols and their relationship to the unconscious mind.The second part of the book focuses on myth interpretation and examines the role of myths in shaping cultural beliefs and values. Silberer argues that myths are a reflection of the collective unconscious of a society and that they serve to provide a sense of identity and purpose to individuals within that society. He explores the various archetypes and symbols that appear in myths and their significance in shaping cultural narratives.Overall, Dream and Myth Interpretation is a fascinating exploration of the relationship between dreams and myths and their significance in shaping human consciousness. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in psychology, mythology, or the intersection of the two.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Problems of Mysticism and Its Symbolism, by Herbert Silberer.
