Abstract

Based on the book “Memories, Dreams and Reflections”, this article analyzed Jung’s travels, from a multidisciplinary perspective of travel and establishing connections between Jung’s work and the different sources of knowledge and information. Firstly, the idea of internationalization and Jung’s first juvenile curiosities towards other cultures. Next, the experience of his trips narrated by Jung himself, was highlighted. Jung engaged in physical displacement trips, of elaboration of ideas and internal trips, the last of an intimate nature and of personal transformation. At the end of the work analyzed, Jung reports his concerns. He addresses rationality and the need to accept the unconscious with its not yet deciphered enigmas. With a sharp perception, he reasons on themes that were ridiculed such as non-identified flying objects, the belief of life after death and the premonitions of sensitives.
