Sinsomnia

It’s finally here; we’re talking about sex in dreams and how it relates to the sexual instinct. In this unplanned, spontaneous episode, we discuss anything that comes to mind with sex in dreams and what it could mean. We talk about a few of our own dreams and make interesting distinctions of what’s ‘missing’ based on our instinct stacking. 

We ‘let go’ of our usual, informative banter in this one; having more of a free-flowing discussion and making a lot of room for jokes. We’ll try to take it more seriously in Part Two!

In this episode we enter through the triangle and discover what 1+1 really is, and why the magic number 3 could be a portal through transcending our usual suffering of jealousy and anger. We break apart the tension of polarities and how to use that tension for accessing a third perspective. Understanding how the ‘third’ element is showing up in an unconscious way, and how to cultivate a more authentic ‘third’ aspect whether alone or in a relationship, can strengthen the connection to a person’s sexual instinct. 

Kaisa shares a personal story to illustrate the impact of triangulation in waking life. We also give a few examples of dreams that have mirrored the process, and different ways to ‘play’ within the triangle and break out of the typical pattern of awareness. We wrap up the podcast by reflecting on a few different ideas of masculinity, femininity, and the Eternal Now.

A second mythological theme we look at in this episode is dismembering and reassembling. This theme is shown through shamanic traditions and the myths of Dionysus, Osiris, Ymir, etc. We discuss why dismembering and reassembling would be important in the sexual instinct, and also how it might show up in an egoic way. We bring in some of our own dreams where this theme shows up. 

Along with this mythology, there is also an aspect of ‘eating of the flesh’. Since the veil between this world and the realm of the dead is thin around the time of Halloween/Samhain, we get extra spooky in this conversation with topics of fleshy spiders and eating corpses.

To begin our dive into some of the mythology of the sexual instinct, Sammy presents a dream she’s had on this journey so far. It has a strange connection with the story of Hephaestus, so we discuss the similarities and differences, and how it all relates to Sammy’s process and the sexual instinct itself. Sammy’s story mirrors Hephaestus, going all the way back to her birth and the medicine the dream could be giving her now. We talk about how this myth is alive today in the collective, and therefore operating in each of us somewhere individually. The trouble of accessing creativity, the building of resentment and pain, the archetypes hiding under our own complexes, and other topics start to unfold in this conversation. 

The book we are referencing from in this podcast is The Principle of Individuation by Murray Stein.

The large and complex topic of Carl Jung’s Anima and Animus is broken down in relation to the sexual instinct in dreams. Sammy starts out relaying a dream she had that transitions the conversation into how our inner Other shows up in a dream and why. We talk about the relationship to our unconscious material, the passion for longing, devotion, self-expression, our wholeness, and even more of a mix of what these fascinating figures could be representing. There’s no way to explain all of the nuances in a small time frame, but hopefully this can kickstart a better understanding of the inner Other’s functions.

In this episode, we discuss our personal relationship to working with feminine & masculine energies. These energies are simplified in this discussion to see just how much they influence daily life. We talk about the sexual blind perspective, and the sexual type perspective. A small conversation is also made around the Anima and Animus, and what it’s like to be possessed by the inner Other.

We talk about how we’ve personally observed our own inauthentic sexuality and what that might mean in our daily lives. Understanding these experiences within ourselves can help with the first step of allowing our current association with sexuality to crumble and plant the seed for new growth. The discussion goes from dreams about our high school crushes to the social shadows that hide in the sexual instinct during a digital age.

Continuing the conversation of the last episode, Kristen and Kaisa talk about the ‘loss of self’ that happens in a person symbolically. As the topic is explored, they discover how sexual types might long for that feeling outside of themselves, but in doing so it creates a pattern of personality rather than acting as a spontaneous occurrence of the Self.

Diving into the sexual instinct, Kristen and Kaisa talk about what sexual projection is and/or looks like. Kaisa gives insights into the symbolic view of her dominant instinct and how that translates into the dream realm. Kristen also breaks down a tentative object relations theory to put the instincts into perspective and what these ‘objects’ are that we’re all projecting onto.

The social instinct has given us plenty of gifts and ‘real heroes’ to work with in our dreams in order to get a fuller picture of ourselves. We talk a bit about the importance of accepting these social roles playing out in the inner world before transitioning into understanding the sexual instinct. All three instincts are happening simultaneously, especially as we see them through the images of our dreams, so having an exploration of self-preservation and social can help us as we tackle the sexual instinct.

The discussion of the sexual instinct begins - and it’s a mess. We discuss just how much there will be to cover going forward, and we give the basic idea of what exactly all of us are projecting through the sexual instinct. There are many layers to this instinct, so get ready folks because it will require a lot of patience and attention.
