「“We may see the shadow in others and, if we dare, know it in ourselves. Mostly, however, we deny it in ourselves and project it onto others." This is an important point. Most of us do not want to own the negative aspects of ourselves. This reluctance can force those negative aspects to appear as frightening characters in our dreams, or evenwaking hallucination sunder certain circum
stances. We can become obsessed with seeing the negativity and upsetting aspects of others, without ever consciously realizing how we are exaggerating these characteristics by being unable to identify and accept our own shadow.」
