We cover: How the mind negotiates trauma, dissociated affects, and developmental change.  How meaning changes depending on whether we read the intruder as a threat vs as a messenger.  How intruder dreams can point to weak boundaries, often disguised in waking life as \u201cbeing nice\u201d or \u201ckeeping the peace,\u201d Intruder dreams as communications of unexpressed anger.  Detailed guidance on working with your own intruder dream The listener dreams we discuss feature a camel that shatters windows and becomes a man when welcomed; an animus-like husband as mediator between ego and unconscious; blank eyes and the golem as images of unfinished consciousness; and the \u201cfriendly threat\u201d of unexpected roommates with bolognese.    Read the dreams in full on our \u2060website\u2060.    Connect With This Jungian Life Download our free \u2060Dream Recall Meditation Guide\u2060. \u2060Send a dream\u2060 for us to analyze on the show.
