The Butterfly Woman:
An Archetypal Image in a Mythological Dream
A lecture by Michael Vannoy Adams of New York

In this lecture, Michael Vannoy Adams will present the case of The Butterfly Woman, which includes an interpretation of the very first dream of a woman in analysis. The dream features an archetypal image a butterfly. Because a butterfly experiences a metamorphosis, it is one of the most important archetypal images of the transformation of the psyche. In this mythological dream, the butterfly is stuck. This case demonstrates how, when the psyche is stuck, it may get unstuck.
Mythological Dreams
An all-day workshop with Michael Vannoy Adams

Mythological dreams are dreams that emerge from what Adams calls the mythological unconscious. We will interpret and discuss mythological dreams that feature two of the most important archetypal images the journey and the monster. The workshop will demonstrate how archetypal images from the unconscious offer valuable alternative perspectives in an effort to compensate the partial, prejudicial, maladaptive, and dysfunctional attitudes of the ego.
