This has already taught me several things and I've only started the book.
>Is there serious risk that you will continually mis-interpret dreams and get the wrong message since the conscious ego wants to bend their meaning to fit our existing worldview?
Perhaps, but enantiodromia has a role to play here, as does the coincidentia oppositorum; a certain 'outpost' of adherence to an egoic world view can only persist so long before other forces generate a smoothing or shattering effect. If you have an intention towards openess to the unconscious then your conscious mind will slowly adjust to and learn the 'language' of your own dreams, it will expand and integrate in that sense.
>Or would you say that since dreams are a sort of portal to the unconscious, any attempt to deal with them in a serious way will ultimately be very fruitful over time?
Yes.
Another book maybe worth looking into is a compilation of Jung's writing on the subject, Dreams
I'm partial to Jungian psychology so I recommend anything dream-related by him or those he worked close with, namely Marie Louis Von Franz (IMO). A simple—and I mean simple—and good intro would be the book 'Inner Work' by Robert Johnson. It addresses a four-step approach to dream interpretation and active imagination. After that, I'd just read as much of Jung's writings about dreams as you can. Start with Dreams (from the Collected Works). Since Jung's psychology is so much about the unconscious, virtually everything you read will be relatable to dream interpretation in some way. There is a nice compendium edited by Joseph Campbell called The Portable Jung that features a great and mind-blowing essay called something like 'Relation Between the Ego and Unconscious,' and actually, now that I think of it, excerpts from the 'Dreams' book as well. 'Man and His Symbols' by Jung was the last thing he wrote and was intended to introduce the general public to his psychology, so you can also start there if you haven't checked out any Jung before. Get the one with pictures.
I was this one I found it in the Phsycology section
Hey, /u/OsakaWilson! Hope you are well.
The best approach you can find toward the subject is Carl Jung's writings. I am almost positive. It is analytical psychology, so it is a bit more of a stretch with the mind, but you will find what you are looking for, I bet. His works on dreams are compiled and fairly easy to find: Dreams by Carl Jung. I will dig up what I can on nightmares for you. He analyzed dreams of his patients and helped work them through it. Nightmares are discussed, but I'm not sure there's a step-by-step guide... rather a good method that he used to help rid others that you could learn from.
