Remember 2013? I really do love this track, though. 😊

“Such a Woman” — Neil Young

My experience has some similarity to this. After I began studying Jung, it took me a while to develop an interest in trying to recall my dreams. Eventually, when I committed to recording them, a figure showed up twice that resonated strongly with me as an anima image. I saw her in active...

[I didn’t want to derail this thread, so I replied to this question in Skimming Stones]
