“To become a person does not necessarily mean to be well adjusted, well adapted, approved of by others. It means to become who you are. We are meant to become more eccentric, more peculiar, more odd. We are not meant just to fit in. We are here to be different. We are here to be the individual.”
James Hollis, Through the Dark Wood Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life
Using a projective dream method we might ask ourselves at any image, “if this were my dream, what might it mean?”

... the little man takes her personal worth, i.e., her self-esteem, away from her. This is what this negative animus does indeed do: he takes away any & all of a woman’s positive self-worth feelings, the feelings she has about her own worth

This Jungian level of interpretation, applied to the #fairytale as well as to the dream, relieves the hearer or reader of that objective literalness which too often condemns fairy tales (& dreams) to the discard pile of either “wish fulfillment” or “an interesting story"

"#fairytales have been told, retold and handed down as sacred stories because they are expressions of a reality which has been traditionally recognized throughout the world as precious and vital to human life. Long before our contemporary interpretations, they stood for themselves as self-sustaining and self-explanatory. They had the rightness and finality of myths.”

(Re:#fairytales) I am convinced that there is an organic life in these stories which seeks to reveal and confirm itself through those who take them up and seriously expound them. There is a meaning which “wants” to become known and which “uses” us for that purpose.
David L. Hart, The Water of Life
