It is a central assumption of Jungian theory that psychical transformation occurring during the critical developmental stages of the life cycle is anticipated, inspired, and orchestrated by the archetypal symbol. In this way, archetypal dreams are afforded particular significance during these transitional stages. The present paper purports to consider the clinical and theoretical implications of this understanding with reference to the dying process. The concepts discussed are illustrated by a series of dreams of a terminally ill cancer patient, which are elucidated by way of the method of amplification. Thematic analysis of the dream series supports Jung's conceptualization of death and dying as being a critical stage of the individuation process, characterized by profound psychical development of a specific and purposeful nature. The value of using dreams in the psychotherapeutic care of dying patients and their families is discussed, with case illustrations. It is suggested that such an approach may foster creative development, assist patients to integrate meaningfully subjective experiences pertaining to dying, and counteract the sense of isolation experienced by the terminally ill. The need for further research and the development of specific treatment modalities is highlighted.
荣格理论的一个核心假设是，生命周期关键发展阶段发生的心理转变是由原型象征预先设定、激发并精心安排的。通过这种方式，原型梦在这些过渡阶段具有特殊的意义。本文旨在探讨这一理解在临终过程中的临床和理论意义。所讨论的概念通过一位晚期癌症患者的一系列梦进行说明，并通过放大法进行阐释。对这一系列梦的主题分析支持了荣格将死亡和临终视为个性化过程关键阶段的概念化，其特征是具有特定且有目的性质的深刻心理发展。文中结合案例说明了在对临终患者及其家属的心理治疗护理中使用梦的价值。建议这种方法可能促进创造性发展，帮助患者有意义地整合与临终相关的主观体验，并抵消绝症患者所经历的孤立感。强调了进一步研究和开发特定治疗模式的必要性。
