Publisher's Summary
In The Bible as Dream, Murray Stein shares important themes in the biblical narrative that from a psychological perspective, stand out as essential features of the meaning of the Bible for the modern listener.
The Bible presents a world elaborated with reference to a specific God image. As the mythographer Karl Kerenyi puts it in writing about the Greek gods and goddesses, every god and every goddess constitutes a world. So it is too with the biblical God, whose name Stein exceptionally capitalizes throughout out of cultural respect. The biblical world is the visionary product of a particular people, the ancient Hebrews and the early Christians, who delved deeply into their God image and pulled from it the multitude of perspectives, rules for life, spiritual practices, and practical implications that all together created the tapestry that we find depicted in the canonical Bible. Yahweh is the heart and soul of this world, its creator, sustainer, and destroyer. The Bible is a dream that tells the story of how this world was brought into being in space and time and what it means.

Got lost...
I have some basic knowledge of Jungian concepts that allowed me to soldier through the end of this audio book but ended up returning it anyway. I accept the proposition that the Bible is the story of a collective individuation process. However, I could not see how the Bible could be interpreted as a dream. Whose dream are we talking about? The many authors and compilers of the Bible? Men? Women? Or it is all about the manifestation and evolution of the of archetype of יהוה in the collective unconscious? Was hoping to get new light on the Bible interpretation but did not get it.
