long Bettelheim, 1982 p52 quote
Interpretation of dreams (1900) understand the nature of dreams and the power of the unconsious.
subjective knowledge got this way "whereby we are able to know truth and sense authenticity"
Perhaps I can take one last swing back at myself at the end of this dissertation, as I would have 'killed the author' perhaps the author can be revived to look at his own work in heinsight and then analyse exactly what he has created and any inherent bias may have gone towards it.

Freud's dogma over sexuality
"Freud replied that if he were to rveal any more it would risk his authority. Jung was horrified and knew that he could not remain a follower of Freud because 'Freud was placing personal authority above truth' (Jung, 1963, p. 154). " p212-213
20 Jung's theories, p217
theories embraces those deep desires and aspirations which have underpinned human motivation for centuries. p217
"He referred to this as the 'collective unconscious' and distinguished it from the 'personal unconscious', and his view is that the thoughts and feelings of the personal unconscious stretch down into the collective unconscious." p217
used to talking about the self as if it was seperate personalities, Jung first characterised this, complexes.
"All this is explained by the fact that the so-called unity of consciousness is an illusion. It is really a wish-dream. We like to think we are one; but we are not, most decidedly not. We like to believe in our will-power and in our energy and in what we can do; but when it comes to a real show-down we find that we can do it only to a certain extent, because we are hampered by those little devils the complexes. Complexes are autonomous groups of associations that have a tendency to move by themselves, to live their own life apart from our intentions." (1935, pp.. 71-73) p219
