Glossary: Subjective level

Interpreting persons and objects in one's dream as if they were inner personalities of the dreamer (i.e. a dream about one's husband is really about one's animus). This level of dream interpretation is more concerned with the dreamer's relationship to their inner world, as opposed to objective dream interpretation which is more concerned with their relationship to the outer world. These kinds of dreams are much more common than objective dreams; what is important is that the dreamer come to terms with complexes, etc. that are making trouble or need some attention.
