Jung's

Unconscious

Two types of unconscious according to Jung (Mackey-Kallis 2023):

1. Personal Unconscious - This is where personal dreams originate and are specific to the individual and involve material that may have been forgotten such as memories of birth or memories repressed from consciousness like child abuse.
2. Collective Unconscious - Archetypal dreams originate from here. This area is a reservoir of elemental configurations or archetypes that are outside of space and time and it is inherited. "Identical and present in all individuals and represents a common psychic substrate of a suprapersonal nature"

Jung believed that the realm of consciousness does not make up the total psyche. Jung supports this claim through many years of clinical observations of patients' dreams and visions - especially schizophrenics.( Mackey-Kallis 2023)

A quote from Jung printed by Mackey-Kallis (2023) states "Achieving individuation through the therapeutic method of complex psychology requires rendering conscious the energy of both the personal and collective unconscious, to reconcile the conflict between conscious and unconscious content.
