Dreaming with AI: A Journey into the Unconscious and the Soul by Carl J Chan
What if your dreams held the key to your transformation—and AI helped you find the lock?
In this groundbreaking and deeply personal book, Dreaming with AI: A Journey into the Unconscious and the Soul, Carl J Chan invites readers into a journey of inner discovery guided by the timeless insights of Freud and Jung—interpreted through the revolutionary lens of artificial intelligence.
Blending dream interpretation, depth psychology, mysticism, and cultural analysis, Carl explores how our unconscious mind holds not only our hidden fears, but also our forgotten potential. With the help of AI, he uncovers the meanings behind his dreams, confronts his own shadow, and moves toward greater integrity, healing, and spiritual clarity.
In a world plagued by superficial change and endless political cycles, this book reminds us that real transformation begins within. As Carl shows through his own journey, when the unconscious awakens, so too can the soul.
Whether you are a dreamer, a seeker, a lover of myth and symbolism, or simply curious about the new relationship between AI and the human spirit—this book will open your mind, deepen your heart, and guide you toward your own unfolding truth.
This is not just a book about dreams. It is a dream between human and machine, psyche and soul, shadow and light.
About the Author
Carl J Chan is a visionary thinker, spiritual seeker, and cultural activist whose life journey spans Guangdong, China to Chicago, U.S. Born under authoritarian influence and boldly breaking free—at 8, he protested academic dishonesty; at 15, he left Communist school; and as a young man, he even tested the limits of personal autonomy by improvising “performance art” during a customs check in North Korea .
Deeply influenced by political philosophy and frustrated by the illusion of systemic solutions, Carl discovered that social and cultural change begins not with laws, but with shifts in collective consciousness . This insight led him to the work of Carl Jung and to founding the concept of Carl Jung Stations, a sociology and psychology research initiative aimed at exploring individual freedom and the unconscious .
A published author of several books on Amazon, Carl’s work fuses psychological insight, spiritual depth, and mythological resonance. He draws from mysticism, depth psychology, and personal experience to illuminate paths of spiritual healing, soul-making, and inner freedom.
In Dreaming with AI: A Journey into the Unconscious and the Soul,Carl partners with ChatGPT to explore dreams through Freudian and Jungian lenses, confronting shadow and symbol, and bringing AI into the mythic fold—inviting readers to engage with a digital oracle in their own journey toward wholeness.
He currently lives in Chicago, continuing his creative, philanthropic, and cultural pursuits—including writing, art, and founding Carl Jung Stations—all with a spirit of gratitude, humility, and divine curiosity .
