About The Psychologist's Imagination and the Fantastic World of Imagery

The interpretation of dreams has attracted psychologists for centuries. Scarce attention has been given to the interpretation of waking images that occur constantly in our minds.

This book concerns itself with how the mind finds meaning in the images of man, and how the psychologist's imagination can be used to interpret them. No effort should be spared in attempting to find meaning in our flow of images.

Waking imagery is analogous to dreams, as both are avenues into the unconscious. When the flow of waking imagery is reported, what is revealed is information about personality that is not consciously acknowledged by the individual. Waking imagery thus has a projective quality that bypasses most ordinary censorship. This function of the mind is often neglected in verbal linear interaction with a therapist. The "discovery" of waking imagery-of revealing profound meanings about personality in our unconscious images-may be one of the most important psychological findings in this century. And one of the most ignored.
