Jung proposed and developed the concepts of extraversion and introversion; archetypes, and the collective unconscious. He worked with Freud for about five years before striking out on his own to create an alternative set of theories about dreams and the unconscious. While many of Freud's theories perpetuated that sex was at the core of all dreams, Jung said it was the fear of death that influenced dreams. Jung believed that humans could interpret their dreams to help them understand and change their lives.
