In this deep and wide-ranging conversation, Nikolaj (philosopher and Jungian psychotherapist) and Hans explore the living heart of Jungian psychology, dream work, and the dialogue between philosophy, spirituality, and everyday life.

They dive into the power of dreams and active imagination as gateways to the unconscious, and how working consciously with images can support individuation, creativity, and emotional integration. Nikolaj shares personal reflections on his own transformational journey, including how dreams guided him through periods of uncertainty and profound self-discovery.

The conversation weaves together Jungian thought and Eastern philosophies, particularly Buddhism, highlighting their shared emphasis on imagery, inner experience, and the delicate balance between ego strength and surrender to the unconscious. Together, they emphasize why working with the unconscious requires structure, grounding, and responsibility—so insight becomes embodied rather than overwhelming.

I deeply enjoyed learning from and speaking with Nikolaj; I hope you will too.
