My new essay, Dreams and the Ineluctable Body, revisits an amazing moment in Jung’s professional life when he makes an accurate medical diagnosis purely on the basis of a dream given him by the patient’s doctor, i.e., no clinical notes, no direct observation of the patient. To this day, no one, not even Jung (this according to Jung in his later years), knows how he did it, even with all the confused explanations that he offered his medical colleagues at the time of his interpretation, and subsequently! In this essay I discuss this historical event as a window into the problematic of our times and I try to show what is at stake for our existence, as we get a little closer to understanding how Jung did in fact make his interpretation.
