Carl’s Jung’s Dream Alchemy of Gnosis

In Memories, Dreams and Reflections, Carl Jung had written on his dreams being related to alchemy and gnosis. Here are some great quotes to get your inner fire sparked on your own dream quest for the the human alchemy of gnosis. Jung writes, “Alchemy, as a nature philosophy of great consideration in the Middle Ages, throws a bridge to the past, the gnosis, and also to the future, the modern psychology of the unconscious.

Only by discovering alchemy have I clearly understood that the Unconscious is a process and that ego’s rapports with the unconscious and his contents initiate an evolution, more precisely a real metamorphoses of the psyche.

Before having discovered alchemy, I had dreamed repeatedly dreams that treated each time the same theme: next to my house was another one, more precisely a wing or an added construction that was strange to me.

Each time I would amaze myself in my dream because I did not know this part of the house, which apparently was there from the beginning.

The unknown wing was a part of my personality, an aspect of myself. Later have I understood that this dream was referring to alchemy.”
