Dreams: Secret Doorway to the Soul - with David Tacey
We are privileged to host David Tacey for our first presentation for 2025:
Freud called the dream the via regia, the royal way, to the unconscious and used dreams to discover repressed wishes and desires. Jung agreed, but went further. For him the dream is the secret doorway to the soul, a natural expression of the life force and capable of opening up spiritual dimensions as well as resolving problems. Dreams appear from a source of wisdom within the psyche and although often mistaken for gibberish, they can be openings to profound healing if we learn the language in which they speak. They give specific and appropriately timed messages which can assist the dreamer with artistic inspirations, psychological development and spiritual insight.
David Tacey is an Australian public intellectual, writer and interdisciplinary scholar. He works across the fields of spirituality, religion, analytical psychology, literature and philosophy.
David is a specialist in Jungian studies and is the author of How to Read Jung; Jung and the New Age; Remaking Men: Jung, Spirituality and Social Change; Gods and Diseases; and The Darkening Spirit: Jung, Spirituality, Religion. His most recent book, The Postsecular Sacred: Jung, Soul and Meaning in an Age of Change, was published by Routledge in 2020. His books have been translated into Chinese, Korean, Spanish, Turkish, Russian, Portuguese and French. He taught courses at the summer school of the Jung Institute in Zürich from 2001 to 2010. He is Emeritus Professor of Humanities at La Trobe University, Melbourne, where he taught Jung’s Cultural Psychology.
