Marie Louise von Franz: The Way of the Dream, Part 1


Dreams show us how to find meaning in our lives, how to fulfill our own destiny, how to realize the greater potential of life within us.

Marie von Franz is brilliant. This is first part of about a ten hour film with Fraser Boa interviewing von Franz and every day folks about their dreams. In its time, it was some of the best material available about dreams. It is a a bit outdated, and a bit over-intellectual at times, but still absolutely brilliant.



This is a summary from IMBD:

Fraser Boa collects first-person accounts of dreams in street interviews with ordinary men and women, and then asks the eminent psychoanalyst Marie-Louise von Franz to interpret them, just as she would in a private analytical session. The resulting test is a primer explaining and demonstrating the art and science of dream analysis for the general public. The material covered includes dreams of men, dreams of women, what dreams tell us about ourselves and our relationships, the historical significance of dreams, and dreams about death and dying. Dr. von Franz concludes that one of the healthiest things people can do is to pay attention to their dreams.
