archetype example

Untitled She woke up again in the middle of the night dripping with cold sweat. It happened again the same dream that had plagued her since she was a little girl. There was no reason logically for her to be having it but it always came. Now more frequently than before it was coming about every couple of weeks now. As she trembled she recalled the events in her head she was playing by herself …

…the story was that of the serpent representing the evil in life and I used it in the context of Carl Jung’s collective unconscious therefore putting it in the dream of the girl mentioned. The serpent was the internal struggle that was trying to consume the girls self worth and as soon as she recognized it for what it was she had the common sense to stop and to try to right her wrongs.
