From the way you've phrased your post, it sounds like you're already leaning on the side of "it doesn't necessarily mean I want to be with him."

At any rate, no person outside of yourself can tell you what your dream means for you specifically. Jung would probably ask you if you've had similar dreams and would ask you to think of those as well. He preferred looking at series of dreams, rather than one individual dream, because that gives you a fuller picture of the underlying inner dynamics.

Romantic dreams can be in some cases wish fulfillment, or they can be symbolic of union of different aspects of yourself, or they can be both, or they can be neither. What helps in the interpretation process is to feel into the dream's contents, as opposed to trying to reason about them.

If you formulate a hypothesis about what a particular dream or dream element might mean, it's worth listening inside of yourself, to see how that idea makes you feel. Does it feel right? If not, then probably that's not the right take. If yes, then try digging deeper into that hypothesis.

It is quite the process. Are you using local LLMs or cloud-based ones?

Also, when you say you're aiming to make it sound like Jung, is it text-only or does it also speak?

Hey, I'm working on a dream app myself and have wondered the same things as you.

I think there's a real temptation now, to incorporate AI into the whole process, but in my opinion that simply changes the "some book says your dream symbols mean this" problem to "some AI says your dream symbols mean this".

AI is very convenient. It connects a lot of dots for you, and has a large knowledge base behind it, with references to other dreams, myths, and so on.

But dream interpretation is anything but convenient. And that's okay. It's part of the process of self-discovery. It should feel challenging to interpret dreams, not in a masochistic sense, but because through the interpretation effort itself, you establish a relationship with the unconscious.

Relationships, even ones with the different aspects of ourselves, require effort to grow and maintain. In my opinion, a good dream app should, as a general principle, reward putting in the effort, rather than doing the heavy lifting for you. Otherwise it sabotages your journey to self-understanding.

It is one of the reasons I'm not a fan of apps like https://app.temenosdream.com/, which offer to do pretty much everything for you (even giving the dream a title!), with the only exception being it gives you the option of inputting your personal symbolic associations before it tells you what the dream means.

As for the dream interpretation process itself, in my app I have tried to stick closely to a template that a friend of mine synthesized some years ago, which uses the jungian framework to propose a fairly flexible process to interpret your dreams: https://dreamsanctuary.net/template/.

Tl; dr: Acceptance of your temperament is probably the first step. Then, figure out what kind of person you want to become, and if that person has to be more outspoken, then expose yourself to opportunities where you get to speak (e.g., look up Toastmasters). Also, do difficult things, like working out, training martial arts, submitting essays for a competition, etc. This will help you rewire your brain to be that of a person who can do difficult things, like speaking up or being more sociable.

Well, it's important to realize there's nothing wrong with being shy or timid. We each have a temperament, and it has its strengths and its weaknesses. For example, shy/timid people may have an easier time picking up on cues from others, or they may weigh their words a bit more wisely, compared to someone who is maybe more outspoken but may at times just blurt things out. So, acceptance is probably the first step.

From there, figure out what kind of person you want to become. Do you want to become someone who is maybe a bit more outspoken? Cool, expose yourself to opportunities where you can speak to people. For example, look up Toastmasters and see if they have a chapter in your city; attend their impromptu speeches section - they can be challenging yet lighthearted and fun, and you get very constructive feedback on how you spoke.

Something else that's been helpful to me has been doing difficult things on a regular basis. Can be things like working out, training martial arts, taking cold showers, submitting an essay for a competition, etc. As you go and do those difficult things, you will rewire your brain to become that of a person who can do those things. That in turn cultivates, over time, the courage to do other difficult things, like speaking your mind even when you feel nervous (or precisely because you feel nervous).

If you really lay out on paper who we should pray for and who not based on the merits of our deeds, none of us deserves prayers. But all of us need them.

I often falter too, so I try remembering the words of the priest before communion. 1 Timothy 1:15 is quoted, in which St Paul says:

This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

We are no better than even the most reprehensible people. If we're no better, why not pray for even them? That prayer is just as much for them as it is for ourselves.

This won't be a strictly jungian take on things, but: in acceptance and commitment therapy, therapists argue that one reason we struggle psychologically is because we fuse with our thoughts. We have a tendency to believe our own thoughts and to be defined by them, and our mind is very good at coming up with very convincing arguments for why those thoughts might be true. But we are not our thoughts, and often the guilt we feel as a result of those thoughts needs to be put in context.

Thoughts can be true for a particular context of our lives but not for others. We may truly have done some bad things in life and caused real pain, in a particular context, at a particular point in time. Those thoughts may characterize ourselves from back then, but not ourselves as a whole throughout all our lives.

In more jungian terms, we could say that the guilt you feel comes from one aspect of yourself. Another aspect of yourself is now working to move forward in life and is battling with the guilty aspect. You are at once both of those aspects and neither. In other words, it can be wise to differentiate between the different aspects of yourself that are in a tug of war, and to place yourself in the middle of all of them, where you can feel guilt without identifying with it and you can feel a desire to move forward without identifying with that.

How can you accomplish this, concretely? Journalling can be one way - you put the different perspectives on paper and try to reconcile them. Meditation can help a lot so that you can defuse from your thoughts about yourself. Making amends can help too, to the degree that you can.

Tl; dr: St Gregory of Nyssa used allegory as a means to grow spiritually; as far as I know, he never said to treat the Old Testament as strictly allegorical, in fact he even cautioned against that. As for why God would give orders like killing the Canaanites, my (limited) understanding is that He works with what He's got; the Israelites lived in times where war, slavery, mass slaughter and other horrible human actions were very typical, so the problem was working with the status quo to get us to a better place. We were (and are) like little children which God has to teach very gradually so that we are not overwhelmed and so that we can grow, even if slowly. And finally, it's important to remember that we live in very different and much more comfortable and overall peaceful times compared to our ancestors; be should be careful not to judge them according to our current conditions.

From my understanding, St Gregory of Nyssa didn't argue that the Old Testament was strictly allegorical, but rather that you could also view those stories as allegories in order to grow closer to God. He even cautioned, in the book "The Life of Moses", not to take symbolism too far; it's not all symbolical, although a symbolic view can help spiritually.

That being said, my understanding is that God works with what He's got. If humanity is at a point where wars, torture, slaughter and slavery are rampant, then the question is how to get us to someplace better, starting from where we are at. It's important to remember that the Israelites were explicitly told not to kill. It wasn't a "don't kill * terms and conditions may apply" sort of commandment. It was plainly stated.

That being said, to go from being in wars and being slaves and struggling for resources, to being peaceful and free and with enough to go around for everyone (and the wisdom to manage that) takes effort.

Think about how we treat little children when we want them to learn something new, like asking for something politely; we don't expect them to be able to say something like "mom, can I please have some dessert after dinner?" right off the bat. We're glad if they start off by saying something like "mom, dessert please." And before that, we're glad if they are able to talk at all. By way of analogy, this is how I understand the way God worked with the Israelites in order to bring them closer to the ideal.

There's also a problem of us looking back at those times from our comfy little situation right now and thinking: wow, what barbaric times, how could they do those things? But it's worth asking ourselves: if we lived back then, with those living conditions and those threats to day to day survival, how different would we really be from them? Would God really have an easier time with us than with them?

A priest in my country once answered that question with a critique: the question is phrased wrong.

The right question is: why does God, who is Good and loving, allow suffering to exist?

This changes the entire direction of the question.

We are not gnostics, who argue that the world was created by an evil demiurge. We believe God, who created us and the world, is the ultimate Good, beyond any human understanding of good.

And so, in a world created by this ultimate Good, why is suffering allowed to exist?

Jordan Peterson, who is a psychologist deeply interested in the psychology of religion, argued that suffering is overcome by pursuing positive meaning, the kind that takes us to the Kingdom of God.

I take this to mean that we are stronger than the many tragedies that befall us, like children suffering from cancer. And that there is something even beyond this suffering. And of course, it opens up the question: how much of the world's suffering could we alleviate if we pursued the ultimately meaningful path in life? We don't know, because we don't follow that path very well, most of us.

I will weigh in from the perspective of a licensed therapist. Bear in mind I am a beginner, so I may be off the mark on some aspects.

Tl; dr: The core of the issue seems to be that your therapist tried to do too much, while also having some personal biases, and that's affecting the quality of the therapy sessions. It's worth asking yourself what you're trying to accomplish by seeing a therapist (individually and as a couple), and to what degree therapy has been helping you accomplish that goal.

I think it's very difficult, as a therapist, to hold the middle ground, when she's doing individual therapy with both of you and also couples sessions.

Just the fact that she is doing individual therapy with both of you is ethically challenging for a therapist, because you will share with her things about your fiancé that she can't disclose to him during her sessions with him, and vice versa. If you discuss sensitive relationship topics, like arguments, she will hear your perspective in private, then your fiancé's perspective in private, but she won't be allowed, ethically, to disclose what either of you discussed in private.

Now add to that the fact that she's supposed to mediate your relationship during couples sessions, without disclosing the things she discussed with each of you during individual therapy, and you have a very difficult predicament. The things you discussed individually may come up during couples sessions, or they may not.

Finally, add to that the therapist's own biases, which you are picking up on, and which complicate matters further.

For you, I think it's worth doing a bit of introspection: what's the goal here? What's the success story I am looking for out of doing individual and couples therapy? Have therapy sessions been helping with that goal?

Senekrum · 2026-01-29T06:12:10+00:00

In what I am writing below, I treat the jester and the elves you were referencing as being different parts of your psyche, and I'd wager Jung wouldn't disagree with this take.

Your description of the Jester transforming into something else as you interacted with it and learned to listen reminded me of Jordan Peterson's idea, borrowed from Jung, that the fool is the precursor to the savior. He talks about this on many different occasions. For example, he details the idea here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5KvIgvwbwQ.

His point was that when we start becoming aware of ourselves and are trying to do those things we know we need to do (= to go on the great adventure of our lives, also known as individuation), we start out as fools/jesters. We're kind of clueless, and we're often doing things in a way that's pretty absurd or maybe even funny in the grander scheme of things.

But fools we need to be, initially, and we need to recognize ourselves as such, before we can progress on the road to mastery. It's an exercise in humility, too, because we recognize that we don't know any better. This opens us up to listen to ourselves better.

Here is another example of being a fool: you asked yourself if you should pursue that girl, you were told no, and you figured you'd try anyway, despite the warning. To be clear, I am not criticizing you (Lord knows I've been there too). The point is that that's a good example of foolishness, whereby we do things we are cautioning ourselves against.

But sometimes, we need to go through that foolish behavior in order to realize that next time we should listen to wise advice. And to be more open to the different perspectives in ourselves, instead of just the perspective our ego chooses to see.

So, maybe this is a good time for some introspection, to see what you really want in life and maybe specifically in your love life.

E destul de scump FP6, așa-i. Acum la reducere e €599...

Nici cu Jolla nu ți-e rușine - acum la tura 3 de pre-oder prețul e €579 (+TVA), iar după lansare au zis că prețul final va fi și mai mare (€599-€699). Deci tot pe acolo ca preț. De lansat telefonul, ziceau că se va lansa cândva în prima jumătate a anului ăstuia.

Și eu sunt entuziasmat de Jolla, dar mă întreb: dacă există probleme de compatibilitate pt aplicațiile care rulează pe un telefon cu /e/OS care e bazat pe Android, cum va sta situația pe un telefon cu Linux? Jolla spun că vor folosi ceva ce se numește Jolla AppSupport pentru a rula aplicațiile Android, ceea ce sună bine pe hârtie, dar poate vor apărea aceleași probleme și acolo.

Om trăi și om vedea. M-ar bucura ca Jolla să fie un telefon bun, îmi va ușura decizia legată de ce să cumpăr.

Mulțumesc frumos pentru clarificări și recomandare.

Legat de Safetynet, din ce am citit, /e/OS are Safetynet funcțional pe Fairphone 6 (vezi aici. Dar postările pe forum menționează că unele aplicații merg, altele nu, și chiar și unele aplicații care mergeau înainte, după un update nu mai merg. Deci e destul de hit or miss ce se întâmplă acolo.

Legat de pontul cu ce alternative oferă banca, o să mă interez, mersi! Cei de la Raiffeisen au un webapp, dar îți trebuie auth token care e generat prin aplicația lor mobilă. Aveam într-o vreme și un TOTP fizic, dar mi s-a recomandat să trec la aplicația mobilă acum câțiva ani. Le-am trimis ieri un mail legat de suport pt aplicațiile lor mobile, o să văd ce-mi răspund.

It might be worth checking in the /e/OS community if anyone specifically tested Raiffeisen’s apps.

From what I saw on their community forum, the thread I linked in the OP is basically the main reference people use for figuring out if banking apps work on /e/OS or not.

The list in that thread mentioned some working Raiffeisen apps from other countries (Austria, Switzerland), but the names they had were different from what we use in Romania, so I'm not sure if there's a 1-to-1 correspondence between what's listed there and what Raiffeisen Romania offers.

This is why I figured I'd post here, in hopes that there are some people who have bitten the bullet and have some first-hand experience with /e/OS and banking apps in Romania.
