Yes - and as Jung noted in his Archetypes of the Collective Subconscious, his research on flood (& tsunami) myths & dreams indicated that a dream of being caught in a flood is mainly a concern about a problem that involves several people. (Everyone in the dream is part of the self.) Jet's concern likely involves a group of people. Jung and poets in his time also wrote about the 'flood of life', which influenced interpretations of floods as sudden, complex problems involving several people that are difficult to resolve.

"Collective subconscious" is part of the control system. The archons are trying to destroy us just like communists. And they want us to be drawn back to the matrix all the time. If God wanted you to be nothing but part of a collective, he wouldn't have made you in the first place.

Dreams can mean things, but more often they're just random. And even when they do mean something, usually it's just something about you, not anything supernatural.

Jung's meaning of the term appears to have been: a type of unconscious "common to mankind as a whole and originating in the inherited structure of the brain." He coined the term, collective unconscious, and this definition for it. It's based on his research on myths and our 'inherited' cultural norms. I don't think it's meant to develop control, but instead psychoanalysis of the unconscious. It a hermeneutic, not statecraft.

So basically primal instincts? That would make sense, but I doubt it relates to prophecy.

Yes - I think that's a good description of what Jung, Freud and other Austrian, Swiss, and German intellectials were studying in the mid-to-late 19th century. Many of these scholars were at least partially Hegelian in their approaches, and were thus believing that one's understanding of the unconscious could be informative of potential predictions, or natural reactions of the mind to balance itself. For them it waas a science of the mind, so to speak.

Right. But that would be more relevant to personal meanings, not prophetic visions. But even the personal meanings are hard to tell, because dreams are so random.
