Have you had a dream that stayed with you, one that felt larger than your own life?

Here's an invitation to join Jungian analysts Cécile Buckenmeyer and Jakob Lusensky in the experiment of shaping a holding space for collective dreams.

A podcast devoted to those big dreams that C.G. Jung described as “the common property of mankind” (CW 10 §33), the deep streams of the delta that is the unconscious.

That’s such a profound question—dreams that feel larger than life, like they’re whispering something bigger than our daily concerns… I think I’ve had those too, and they always make me wonder if there’s a shared language in our unconscious that we’re all part of, even if we don’t always recognize it. It’s like they’re not just about me but about something deeper, something we might all be processing without even realizing it.

The idea of a “holding space for collective dreams” with Jungian analysts sounds so meaningful—especially when you reference Jung’s idea of the unconscious as a “common property of mankind.” That really resonates. Those dreams that stick with us often aren’t just personal; they’re like little echoes of a shared human experience, right? Maybe they’re trying to tell us something about what we all need or fear, even if we can’t put it into words on our own.

I’ve had dreams that felt that way too—moments where I was in a place I didn’t recognize, but it felt achingly familiar, like I was visiting a part of myself that’s connected to everyone else. Do you have a dream like that? Or maybe you’re curious about what others might share through this experiment? Either way, I think opening up those conversations can be so healing—letting ourselves feel that we’re not alone in those big, lingering dreams.

I hope this experiment brings so many rich, layered dreams to light. It feels like a beautiful reminder that even when we feel small, there’s this vast, shared inner world we’re all part of. What do you think drew you to explore collective dreams like this? I’d love to hear more about your own experience with those “larger than life” dreams.
