On Dreams and the East

The book presents C. G. Jung's 1933 seminar on yoga's symbolism and its relevance to dream analysis, held during a politically charged time in Germany. It features insights from Indologist Heinrich Zimmer and explores Jung's engagement with Hindu traditions, particularly Tantric yoga. Jung examines a patient's dreams, emphasizing mandalas and their connection to various symbolic motifs, including alchemy and labyrinths. With an introduction by Giovanni Sorge, it highlights Jung's evolving understanding of Eastern thought and the individuation process during a pivotal period in his career.
