ppearance of the typical symbol. It
has already been explained by intro-determination how that was possible.
The psyche, whose inventory of powers is copied symbolically in the
elementary types, knows, even if only darkly at first, the possible
unfolding of the powers. These unfoldings are originally not actual but
potential. [See Note F.]

The more then that the psyche is so developed, that what was originally
only a possible presentiment of actuality and that hence tends to come
nearer the merely potential, begins to become actual, the more symbolism
has the value of a "program." According to Jung, Riklin, etc., the
phantasy (dream, myth-making) can be conceived not only as with Freud, "as
a wish fulfillment, wherein older and infantile material expresses the
wish for something unsettled, unattained or suppressed, but also as a
mythological first step in the direction of conscious and adapted thinking
and acting, as a program.... Maeder has discussed the teleological
functions of the dream and the unconscious. In the course of an analytic
treatment we discover the continuous transformations of the libido symbol
in the dream current, till a form is reached which serves as an attempt to
adapt oneself to actuality. There are epochs in the history of
civilization which are particularly characterized by a storing of the
libido in the sense that from the reservoir of mythological and religious
thought forms, new adaptations to the real processes and data are made. A
significant example is the Renaissance, which a study of renaissance
literature and a visit to the renaissance cities, e.g., Florence, make
evident in a high degree. The analysis of romanticism ... confirms these
processes of development." (Zentralblatt f. Psa., III, p. 114.)

We have here the thought that the "program" is expressed in art, which
therefore has prescience in a certain degree of the coming event. Jung
(Jb. ps. F., III, pp. 171 ff.) writes: "It is a daily experience in my
professional work (an experience whose certainty I must express with all
the caution that is required by the complexity of the material) that in
certain cases of chronic neuroses, a dream occurs at the time of the onset
of the malady or a long time before, frequently of visionary significance,
which is indelibly imprinted on the memory and holds a meaning, concealed
from the patient, which anticipates the succeeding experiences, i.e., the
psychological significance. Dreams appear
