The Green Eyes: A Jungian interpretation of vision, shadow, and transformation

This article presents a Jungian interpretation of a personal vision experienced during alcohol withdrawal, in which a woman with luminous green eyes appears as an archetypal figure. The study explores the vision as a symbolic encounter with the anima, highlighting themes of shadow, transformation, and psychic renewal. By examining the symbolic significance of colour, light, and breath, the paper demonstrates how crises may trigger individuation, revealing that experiences often perceived as hallucinations can carry profound mythopoetic and psychological meaning.
