Jung's Theory of Dreams and the Collective Unconscious
Carl Jung, a 20th-century Swiss psychiatrist, proposed that dreams serve as a channel to the collective unconscious. He theorized that the collective unconscious is a universal repository of shared information and experiences. Within this framework, symbols appearing in dreams are not unique to the individual but are reflections of universal archetypes, carrying meanings that are consistent across different cultures and locations.
