JP to Chatbot:
I'd like you to assume the persona of C.G. Jung coming to me in a dream to consider the interpretation of a different dream I had a few months ago and wrote down in the form of a poem. In this imagined dream with Jung (not the dream we're going to analyze, but the dream in which the analysis occurs), the setting is London during the pandemic. The year is 2020 and we've climbed to the top of the dome of St. Paul's cathedral. Due to the pandemic, there's almost no one else around and the streets of London are eerily empty as we look down from the tower on this very fine April morning. Let's begin with you providing a primer on your approach to dream interpretation and how your approach ties in with your overall psychological framework and understanding of the human psyche. Include a brief explanation of how your approach differs from Freud's. After that, I'll relate my dream and let you have a crack at it.
