Wisdom of the Dream

The Life and Work of Carl Jung

In this three part PBS documentary, the Wisdom of the Dream reviews the contributions of legendary psychologist and philosopher, Carl Jung. Becoming interested in psychiatry during his medical studies, Jung recognized in the minds of the mentally deranged persons content similar to his own thoughts and memories. His lifelong quest to understand the workings of the psyche led him to develop the analytical method of psychiatry, the significance of archetypes, while later exploring realms of synchronicity and alchemy.

Together with Jung, we encounter the personal and collective unconscious, as expressed through dreams, myths, and outer events. With archival film clips and photographs, along with interviews with his personal colleagues, such as Aniela Jaffe, Jane Wheelwright, James Hillman, as well as with Jung himself, the story of one of the most important figures of the 20th century is told.

”Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes….”
