I also believe that just as an individual’s dreams and slips of the tongue reveal his or her repressed knowledge, so a culture’s “dreamwork” – its films, pop music, visual arts, and even in the resonant jokes, cartoons and advertising images – reveal the signs of this collective unconscious. Moreover, a nation’s “irrational dreamwork” often reflects its actual condition more truthfully than its “ego” – its official pronouncements, diplomatic statements, and propaganda.
而 我也相信，正如个人的梦境和说错话反映了他 / 她的潜意识一样，一种文化的“梦境” —— 电影，流行音乐，视觉艺术，甚至包括共同的笑话，卡通以及广告形象 —— 也会反映出某个集体的潜意识。而一个国家的“非理性的梦境”通常比其“自我” —— 比如官方声明，外交宣言和各种宣传 —— 更能反映其现实情况。
