COELHO, Marcia Moura. R. L. Stevenson – The storyteller and the harvest of dreams. Junguiana [online]. 2023, vol.41, n.1, pp.47-60. Epub 29-Nov-2024. ISSN 2595-1297. https://doi.org/10.70435/junguiana.v41i1.17.
Starting from the essay “A Chapter on Dreams” by the Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson, the article analyses the thoughts of the author about dreams and the creative literary process and weaves correlations between Stevenson’s ideas and Jung’s ideas about the work with dreams, psyche, and creativity. The relationship of conscience with dream life, reflections on the duality of conscience, identity, and its creative literary process are themes addressed by Stevenson in the aforementioned essay. These are precursor ideas of comprehension about dreams and the creative process and are similar to conceptions later developed by Jung about creative autonomous complexes of the psyche, creativity, and work with dreams. In this interlace of literary and psychological perspectives, having the Jungian theory as a reference, I intend to make clear the approximations that the Jungian method of comprehension and work with the psyche have with the creative writing process described by Stevenson.
