[Research] Jung's Shadow

Yoon: In Jungian Study, "everyone carries shadow", shadow is interpreted in three psychological terms as anima, animus and persona. They use shadow as a psychological area controlled by unconscious mind. For instance in a dream, Von Franz mentions the action of interacting with shadows in dreams, "A conversation with the shadow may indicate that one is concerned with conflicting desires or intentions." I believe these are all about unconsciousness which live with you whole life in variety of formats. It is sometimes recognised as a physical dark shape of like your twin, or it can be expressed as a different aspect of mind like anima or animus.

Yoon: In a Walt Disney's classic animation Peter Pan (1953), there is a conflict between Peter pan and his shadow. The shadow looks exactly same as Peter Pan but it tries to run away from him. The shadow looks like it is desperate for freedom but Peter Pan doesn't allow it to go for it. The shadow may reflect one of Peter Pan's unconscious mind. Peter Pan can be an icon of freedom or adventure but he looks he is so strict to his shadow that his shadow gets forced back to belong to Peter Pan. From this story, I started to imagine interacting with my shadow. Now Dreams will come true.
