The Dream and the Lower World | James Hillman

James Hillman's book "Dreaming and the Lower World" is a new understanding of the theory of dreams based on Carl Jung's ideas about the collective unconscious. In the book, the author turns to mythology and connects dreams with myths of the Other World, images and shadows of the soul, gods and figures of death. Hillman argues that this leads to a revision of the interpretation of dreams in connection with the psychology of "dying".

The author explores the transformation of the idea of the "land of the dead" in modern depth psychology, which has become known as the "unconscious". He explores in detail the historical roots of this idea, and also used the ghostly underworld as a marginal perspective from which he revised our basic concepts of depth psychology..

James Hillman's book draws attention to the importance of mythology and dreams in understanding yourself and your soul. The author presents a new look at the theory of dreams, which may interest both specialists in the field of psychology and a wide audience interested in mythology and spiritual development.
