    I would have babbled something about dream symbolism, attics (imagination), basements and tunnels (the subconscious, the shadow), blah blah.

I would not mind that, really. I mean, the moment where I would be all snooty on other people for waffling it's the moment where I would have to be hospitalized for a ruptured hypocrite gland ;). Most of the time I try to encourage that to be honest. Plus I have already explained in a post to bfv about the reasons for comment removal, but that's nothing personal or against anyone in particular.

More directed at you lil: how did you found out Jung? What's the appeal of symbolism? At least aside of being an abstraction layer as seen in maths, that's my view of the subject. Believe or not, but I have discovered meditation in a broader, non-Buddhist, sense less than half a year ago. Anything mystical that was not Greek, Roman or Norse mythology is a pretty much an uncharted territory for me.
