85% of Your Dreams Are About You, Not Other People

Marie-Louise von Franz worked alongside Carl Jung for over 30 years and interpreted more than 65,000 dreams. She arrived at the conclusion that roughly 85% of dream figures represent aspects of the dreamer's own personality, not the outer people they resemble. In this video, von Franz explains the difference between subjective and objective dream interpretation, and why the figure stealing your car, attacking you, or betraying you in a dream is almost always pointing inward. Jung once said: "There is no difficulty which we ultimately are not to ourselves. We are our own difficulty." This is an invitation to stop reading your dreams as confirmation of what the world is doing to you, and to start asking what your own psyche is trying to show you.
