			Jung gives the example of a man whose dream conveyed a difficult truth to him, that we was being an asshole.<ref>Jung, Carl G. ''Man and His Symbols''. New York: Anchor Press Double Day, 1964. p. 31</ref>Jung wrapped this up in some racist and misogynist nonsense about the anima, but the basic point is important. Dreams convey truth, show often in veiled form to protect a fragile and damaged ego.

	Harold Johson of the Woodlands Cree notes that the Cree had institutionalized the pursuit of dreams/vision as [[Connection Event]]s. "In our traditional society, each person is allowed to experience being a spirit in a physical body and to grow their own understanding of what that means. We don’t tell each other how to be. Everyone is free to go up on a high hill or some other isolated place to fast and pray and develop their understanding....the understanding that we receive is uniquely our own. The dreams and the visions we sometimes receive are given to us to help us along our path."<ref>Johnson, Harold R. Firewater: How Alcohol Is Killing My People (and Yours).

			== Quotes ==
			<blockquote>"We are so captivated by and entangled in our subjective consciousness that we have forgotten the age-old fact that God speaks chiefly through dreams and visions.

			...

			In a period of human history when all available energy is spent in the investigation of nature, very little attention is paid the essence to of man, which is his psyche, although many researches arc made into its conscious functions. But the really complex and unfamiliar part of the mind, from which symbols are produced, is still virtually unexplored. It seems almost in credible that though we recieve signals from it every night, deciphering these communications seems too tedious for any but a very few people to be bothered with it".<ref>Jung, Carl G. ''Man and His Symbols''. New York: Anchor Press Double Day, 1964. p. 102.</ref></blockquote>
