JUNG, C. G., ZIMMER, H., & SORGE, G. V. R. On Dreams and the East: Notes of the 1933 Berlin Seminar. Princeton University Press. 2024. Pp. 296. Hbk. $50.
In the summer of 1933, as Hitler closed his grip on Germany, Jung presented his landmark seminar on the symbolism of yoga and its applications to dream analysis in Berlin to an audience of some 150 people, including several Jewish Jungians who would soon leave Germany. The publication of this volume makes notes of these seminar sessions widely available for the first time. The seminar commences with a presentation on the psychology of yoga by noted Indologist and linguist Heinrich Zimmer. Jung analyses a series of dreams of a middle-aged male patient, focusing on mandalas and the centring process.
