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.

For this episode, we decided to wrap up our impressions of the social instinct and our journey with it in dreams. Kristen and Kaisa share dreams and experiences that came up for them within the timeframe of exploring this instinct. They both describe how personal this work has been for them, and how they’ve been impacted both externally and internally.

Even though it is unbelievably helpful to experience external social love and belonging, the work of dreams has taught us that it’s even more important to reclaim that feeling and cultivate it within us.

Our first guest joins us for this episode; Maggie is a SP/SX 7w6 794. Maggie shares a dream she had that illustrates how social blindness might appear in the unconscious. We discuss the ways in which she views the social instinct, both with neglecting it but also having a different impact based on her family upbringing. 

The evidence of her instinctual stacking, core type, and trifix also come into play with the visuals and tones of her dream. These descriptions are specific to her and her experience, but still cover the grief and associations hidden within the social blindspot.

We explore Sammy’s progression as a SP/SO 9 in this ‘outtakes’ from the social middle episode. Sammy’s dream could be showing just how toxic she’s becoming around the social instinct (joking). Kaisa also learns about the meaning of postcards.

Sammy and Kaisa both have the social instinct in the middle of their instinct stacking. They both share their dreams that have been conjured up in their psyche during our social journey. These dreams illuminate just how rich and powerful the middle instinct can be, even in a secondary position. Kaisa also explains her new discoveries of the masculine and feminine polarities embedded in the instincts.

Each goes through how their past has affected their relationships socially, both personally and collectively. Breaking down the complexes and understanding their shadows has helped them gain better access to the essence of the Social instinct.
