I heard that there are some psychoanalysts that mixed Marx and Psychoanalysis. Are any of these writings insightful in any way? If yes, then who are these people?
A friend of mine (definitely not me), told me that his motivation, productivity, and overall morale far exceeds his usual performance in the gym, while listening to "white girl bangers". Could there be a Jungian explanation for all this? Could perhaps ones unconscious feminine dimension of a man's psyche yearn for some Charli XCX? Could it be that all this musical angst is facilitating unconscious parts of the psyche for some individuals.
I've been reading Jung's Man and His Symbols, and I've just realized that Hokum has a very Jungian structure to it.
Throughout this film, we are being reminded of the constant motif of the circle. The circle representing the Self. The main protagonist must face the darkness and overcome the passing of his parents, as well as save himself from harm. This reminded me of The Hero's Journey. The main character could represent the ego and this haunted inn could perhaps be his unconscious. Our hero must encounter aspects of himself that he has tried to avoid for a long time. The shadow takes the form of a witch.
Another Jungian aspect of this film, although I might be reaching with this one, would be this duality of the self. The circle in this movie could be a product of a glass of liquor; this could represent the self destructive nature of the protagonist, BUT also the circle could be used as a protective boarder from the witch.
I'm curious to hear anyone else's interpretations.
keep in mind that it is a bit graphic.
this happened a long time ago; perhaps 4 or 5 months ago.
The dream started with me in a house, perhaps an apartment. I believe I was standing in a livingroom. In that livingroom, I remember a little kid sitting on the floor and playing with its toys. I did not recognize the kid, but I do remember looking at the kid and feeling like I needed to protect it, or perhaps that it needed to be taken care of, because it seemed slightly neglected or perhaps lonely. All I can remember is that the kid was small and had short black hair. I don't remember having any eye contact with the kid, or perhaps I did. After observing the kid and the surroundings that I can no loner recall; with the exception of a TV, the kid was watching TV, I felt as if I had to go into one of the rooms. I believe that it was of my own free will. I think that there is the possibility of me wanting to go into that room, in order to protect the child in some way, but I no longer remember if that was my intention at the time, or if I interpreted it after the fact. I want into the room. This room looked like a bathroom, in there, there was a lady. I cannot recall how the lady looked, but she was an older woman, that had done a couple of surgeries to enhance her appearance; I remember finding the woman attractive. This woman asked me to have sexual intercourse with her, I accepted. She took her clothes of, I don't remember if I my clothes of and we started having sex. We were both facing each other, and as I was penetrating her, her shin started slowly melting. I didn't seem to care as her skin started breaking down and her face melted leaving nothing but her jaw bone on her face. I then woke up.
