Tibetan Buddhists had elaborate visualization and meditation practices for cultivating dream states like lucid dreaming. What are the different dream states? For Jung, dream phenomena could not be reduced to repression of sexual drives and libido. In a compensatory dream, a person who was passive and compliant in daily life might dream they are an aggressive, raging lion, symbolizing unacknowledged and split-off anger. Even if you only remember a single word or image from a dream, record it immediately after you awake while the dream is fresh.
