Working with dreams often forms a primary part of Jungian analysis and can play a pivotal role in anyone's investigation into themselves. Dreams often form a compensatory role to our conscious attitude, and can provide great insights into the nature of our minds and the direction of our lives, where we might be going off track, and where we might be having conflict with ourselves and the world around us. Carl Jung recommended using dreams as the 'seed' for active imagination. There are many seeds that can be used, but working with dreams, given the emotional charge that often accompanies them, and the direct reflection of the dynamics of our minds, can be a particularly useful entry point into active imagination.

Active Imagination is a technique developed by the Swiss psychologist Carl Jung for engaging with the unconscious mind. Jung considered Active Imagination to be the most powerful way to access the unconscious mind and a vital technique for attaining wholeness of personality.

The Moon card is associated with mysticism, the occult, and the oceanic expanse of the unconscious mind. Despite its name, it is actually ruled by Neptune, and is the card of Pisces. While all tarot cards relate to the mind and the unconscious in some way, The Moon in particular can be linked to the practice of active imagination and the interface with the unconscious that it facilitates. Carl Jung himself, under the Taroscopic system, would be considered a Pisces-rising. The Moon represents the exploration of the subconscious and the pull between surface reality and deeper, murky layers of the unconscious. In this active imagination exercise, we will explore the energies of The Moon card and our relationship to the mystical and the occult, whilst also becoming aware of the dangers of escapism and fantasy.

The Seven of Swords challenges us to confront the aspects of evasion, strategy, and even deceit within ourselves and in our dealings with the world. It invites us to consider the value of novelty and idiosyncrasy, as well as the consequences of acting on half-truths or engaging in avoidance. This card reflects on the need for individuality and the courage to stand apart, but it also warns against the isolation that can come from too much secrecy or a reluctance to seek help. Through this exercise, we will explore the delicate balance between self-reliance and openness, seeking originality in our choices and actions.
