Many sexual dreams go unshared and uninterpreted because they come without our bidding and we react with shame rather than curiosity. Ironically sexual dreams may suggest acts and interactions that “we would never dream of doing in reality.”
Do they reflect instinctual drives as Freud believed, or do they carry relational and even spiritual meaning as Jung proposed? This presentation will delve into how sexual dreams might call our conscious attention to current problems, past dilemmas, or future possibilities. We’ll think about how these dreams may be a useful bridge between relational issues and sexual ones or help us express the feelings and experiences that are the most difficult to think or talk about. Do our sexual dreams carry hidden levels of meaning that will enlarge us? Join us and find out!

Materials and Instructions Provided by the Ancient Greeks, Their Myths and Their Customs
A Lecture by Jan Bauer of Montréal

1:00-3:00 p.m. (EST)

The Question: How can those ancient Greek goddesses and gods and those ancient Greek people with their ancient modes of mixing profane and sacred get us through some very modern troubled times, or even, more modestly, just through a day or a week at a time?
As we shall see, within the Big Greek Stories there are many little treasures that turn out to be helpful Little Tips, surprisingly relevant, surprisingly practical, sometimes even amusing.
Modern day examples will be presented for each tip.
The Jungian Survival kit can be used by anyone at any time. It is not meant to cure a country or fix a Big Collective Problem. It just wants us to remember that not just the devil, but the gods, can be found in the details.
Born in the States, Jan Bauer lived and worked in France, Italy, Tunisia and Switzerland for 20 years. After receiving her diploma as a Jungian analyst in Zürich, she moved to Québec at the invitation of her friend and colleague Guy Corneau.
Jan strongly believes in a Democracy of the Psyche. This is a world where complementary and opposing parts of us within are given a chance by the ego to express themselves, light and shadow, brash and timid, inner energies that long to be accepted in a coexistence that makes for an interesting and full life.

Anima and Animus
Coming into relationship with our “contra-sexual” parts is considered a central demand of the Jungian process of Individuation. The social roles of men and women have changed enormously since Jung wrote about them in the last century, but have the surface changes had any impact on the deeper, archetypal nature of our internal complexes? Are Jung’s concepts of Anima and Animus still relevant today?

Jung at Bollingen:
A Farewell to Colleagues
In 1958, a few years before his death, Jung summoned his two greatest acolytes, Marie-Louise von Franz and Erich Neumann, to his home in Bollingen. Bitter enemies, he urged them to sustain his legacy. With his secretary Aniela Jaffe, a fourth party, at his side for this dramatic meeting. We will listen to the play “Twilight at Bollingen,” co-written by Murray Stein and Henry Abramovitch, and discuss the significance of this fictional moment.
Murray Shugar is the editor of the
C. G. Jung Society of Montreal newsletter.

Signs in the Sky?
Carl Jung queries the physical reality of UFOs and the conscious and unconscious fantasies they unleash.
Do dreams of UFOs reveal archetypal ideas of order and disorder and symbolic images of death that reflect the "timelessness of our psychic foundations?" Is it possible to bridge the "apparent abyss that yawns between the prehistoric world and the present?"
Beginning her career as a neurobiologist, Heather Stephens has always been fascinated by her own dreams. She was an Academic Vice-President with the Thomas More Institute where over a 60-year association she has explored many subjects, most recently with a course on The Earth Transformed, focusing on E.O. Wilson's Half-Earth proposal for global cultural and natural corridors.

Between Father and Son:
Freud, Jung, and the Rift that Shaped Depth Psychology
The story that follows is not a nice one, … when men first decided they had the power to understand one another in an entirely new way, it should not surprise us that the results could be tragic.
— John Kerr; A Most Dangerous Method: The Story of Jung, Freud, & Sabina Spielrein
In this session, we will explore a chapter from Jung’s memoir Memories, Dreams, Reflections, focusing on his complex relationship with Freud. Together, we will reflect on what this historic encounter between two pioneering minds can teach us about our own lives–about passion, loyalty, rupture, and the costs of understanding one another too well.

Hospice, Palliative Care McGill, and the Montreal Institute for Palliative Care.
