Mapping Your Inner Dynamics: Step Two of Robert A. Johnson’s Jungian Dream Analysis Guide in his book ‘Inner Work’
Dreams are like living stories unfolding within the deep realms of your unconscious mind. 🌙✨ While the first step of dream analysis, as described by Robert A. Johnson in Inner Work, is to make associations, the second step is about exploring dynamics—the interplay of forces and relationships within the dream. Understanding these dynamics can reveal powerful insights into your inner world.
With Inner Dream App, we make it easy to capture your dreams, track their dynamics, and notice patterns over time. Let’s explore what “dynamics” means in Jungian dream analysis and how you can use our app to dive deeper into your dreamscape.
What Are Dream Dynamics? (Step Two)
Once you’ve made associations with the symbols in your dream, the next step is to explore the dynamics or the relationships and energies at play.
According to Johnson, understanding the dynamics involves looking at how the different parts of the dream interact with each other.
This includes:
Conflict: What opposing forces or characters are present? How do they interact?
Relationships: Are there themes of connection, separation, or resolution?
Power Dynamics: Who holds power in the dream? Is the power shifting?
Emotional Tone: What emotions are underlying these interactions? Are you being confronted, supported, or guided?
Understanding these aspects helps you uncover deeper meanings and reveals how your unconscious mind is working to resolve internal struggles, reveal hidden desires, or guide you toward healing and growth.
This is the ‘collection’ page from the ‘inner dream app’ summarizing one dream.
How to Analyze Dream Dynamics
Record Your Dream with the Inner Dream App 📲 Capture your dream as soon as you wake up, detailing scenes, emotions, and interactions as clearly as possible. (The more practice you get, the easier it will become. Keep it fun!)
Identify Key Symbols and Characters 🔍 Write down the prominent symbols and people in your dream. Who or what stands out most vividly?
Examine Interactions Between Symbols 🔗 Look at how these symbols or characters relate to each other. Are they in harmony or conflict? Is there a power struggle, collaboration, or negotiation taking place?
Describe Emotional Dynamics 💭 Note your emotional responses to these interactions. How do you feel during each scene? What emotions linger when you wake up? (You can also reactivate the narrative later with a long tap-hold.)
Notice Patterns Over Time 📅 Using the Inner Dream App, track your dreams over days, weeks, or months. Are similar dynamics appearing? Recurring patterns often signal important unconscious material seeking resolution.
