In 1930s C G Jung embarked upon an investigation into childhood dreams as remembered by adults to better understand their significance to the lives of the dreamers. He presented his findings at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. This book marks their publication in English, and aims to fill a critical gap in Jung's works.

Presented here in an inspired English translation commissioned by the Philemon Foundation, these seminars reveal Jung as an impassioned educator in dialogue with his students and developing the practice of analytical psychology. An invaluable document of perhaps the most important psychologist of the twentieth century at work, this splendid volume is the fullest representation of Jung's views on the interpretation of children's dreams, and signals a new wave in the publication of Jung's collected works as well as a renaissance in contemporary Jung studies.
