Inner work means the effort by which we get in touch with unconscious. Life can be balanced only when the conscious mind is living in harmony with the unconscious. In the modern world we have acted as though there were no unconscious at all, fixating ourselves completely on the external, material world. The prejudices of the ego are our sole rulers, keeping the voices of the unconscious repressed.
Dreams spring from the unconscious, however. When you have a recurring dream that stays in your mind all day, it indicates that there is some inner problem which needs to be worked through. You should try to understand your dreams to learn something of what may be bothering you unconsciously. But know that the unconscious usually expresses itself through symbolic motifs which are not to be interpreted literally.
A more advanced way of dealing with the unconscious is called active imagination. It may require some patience to get something going in the beginning, because we have slammed so many doors closed in the face of our unconscious. But during an active imagination session one should enter in an active dialogue with the unconscious, being fully awake and conscious during the experience. Its of essence to forsake control and to be willing to listen. Write down your inner dialogue so you can analyze it later.

Better than work with several Jungian therapists - in my experience, this book is the real deal. After a succinct summary of the conscious and unconscious parts of one's being, this fine book provides a pathway between the two via working with dreams and active imagination.

I agree with most of the positive reviews on this book. The author is an excellent writer, and the contents of this book are excellent.
But HarperOne should be ashamed of themselves regarding the quality of the physical book. The paper is so cheap that underlining is rough on the pages. This kind of cheapness is ruining the book business--it's like watching publishing self-destruct.
My recommendation to the writer is to find another publisher in the future.

This book is a fantastic guide to doing Active Imagination. If you are new to the ideas of Carl Jung, this book has the introduction that you need. I have used the techniques from this book on many occasions, and I know I will keep going back to it. Active Imagination has helped me in working with my compulsions and in understanding my bad habits. This is not a 'self-help' book with catchy slogans and common-sense rephrased kind of book. I found that although dreams and day-dreams seem to be nothing but nonsense, this book helps you to find the hidden treasures in that 'nonsense'.
