Dreaming - Mila Goldner

The book begins with an explanation about existentialism as a philosophical theory with applicability to everyday life.  The first story is called Encounter and deals with the existential issues of fear of death in a context of English and Serbian cultural diversity through the lens of the collective unconscious that speaks through an archetype of the anima as the feminine principle in males.  The second story is called Dream and explores the problem of isolation and aloneness in the context of the author’s conscious and unconscious relationship with an aboriginal artist.  The third story is called Truth and presents the contents of an existential group psychotherapy showing how the members of the group work through their existential issues that focus on their meaning in life. The last story is called Journey and presents an encounter with an aboriginal spiritual entity that teaches about the existential issues of freedom and responsibility.
