The Jungian Drift
Conversations about contemporary developments in Jungian psychology. Join us as we circumambulate the Jungian world!
We are student analytical training candidates at the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco in discussion with fellow students, local and visiting Jungian analysts and other people who are finding new and creative ways to apply Jungian ideas in the world beyond analysis.
On the first of the month we publish a new episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube, Amazon/Audible and our website serviced by Buzzsprout, www.thejungiandrift.com.

Dreams from the Street with Dr. Paul Watsky
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
San Francisco Jungian analyst Paul Watsky, PhD, interprets three volunteer "person on the street" volunteers' dreams to demonstrate how he would approach dreamwork in his practice.
Though Dr. Watsky suggests possible meanings for the dreams, he is clear that these are only hypotheses to guide further inquiry. The purpose here is not to make a clinical assessment, rather it is to illustrate a Jungian analyst's approach to dreamwork with the caveat that there is not enough information in these vignettes to make any definitive conclusions.
This episode would not be possible without the generosity of our three dreamers who granted us permission to share their dreams plus a few details about their lives. We don't use their real names in the episode. To be clear, our volunteer dreamers are not psychotherapy patients.
