| "All symbols have universal, fixed meanings." | Jung rejected dream dictionaries. A snake can be wisdom or danger. | A symbol's meaning is shaped by context and the dreamer's life. |
| "Individuation means becoming perfect." | No. It means integrating your flaws. | "The shadow is 90% pure gold." Your weakness is also unused energy. |
| "Archetypes are like mythological characters." | They are not images but patterns of behavior. | The Mother archetype isn't a woman—it's the capacity for nurture or devouring. |
