Jung derived his ideas about ā€œcomplexesā€ at least in part from the word association test. These are partly unconscious and emotionally charged areas of the psyche, such as a negative or positive mother complex, a negative or positive father complex, etc.
Jung would also have patients give an association to a dream image as a way to interpret the dream. But he wouldnā€™t ā€œfree associateā€ the way Freud did. In Freudian analysis one would associate to the dream symbol, then associate to that association, then associate to that association until you finally arrive at something that Freud thought was the underlying unconscious conflict (usually some conflict from childhood, often of a sexual nature). Jung didnā€™t completely buy this, broke with Freud and came up with his own methods. Jung believed in staying close to the dream image rather than wandering off into the bushes looking for a sexual conflict based on a pre-existing oedipal theory.
By the way, Jung experimented with using a Galvanic Skin Response meter while giving the word association test, this measures changes in electrical resistance in the skin which can change with the amount of perspiration. Unconscious emotional reactions would register on the Galvanic Skin Response meter. This research contributed to the development of the lie detector test.

@_Barry. This is one of the best comparisons of Jungian and Buddhist thought that Iā€™ve seen. Iā€™ve also had the tree image come to me as a picture of how we as separate leaves and branches are all connected to One universal consciousness at a deep level.

Very interesting

I have found Jungs Association techinque to be like the inkblot test for dream symbols

Sounds like a less fun version of the game 6 Degrees of Kevin Baconā€¦
