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.
