The post above is a draft of the first section of a presentation I’m making at the American Academy of Religion annual meeting next week in Atlanta, Georgia. The Psychology, Culture, and Religion group is sponsoring a panel discussion of The Red Book, and my task is to say something about the role of dreams.
More posts to come….

I bet Jung would have cringed at the egotistic size of this volume, but then again he was a big fan of medieval folios….

I have read only a fraction of the Red Book, but it is clearly a well-edited work meant for a wider audience than his usual dense prose. I think he did hope it would be read widely, considering its style that reminds me of a Nietzschian philosophical memoir. I like the images, but I don’t have a spare bible stand in the house, which seems to be the only way to really read this thing, on a pedestal.
