Jung and shadows

I'm pretty excited because I've actually found something through research that relates directly to my manuscript.

Jung described shadows as "the imperfect being in you that follows after and does everything that you are loath to do, or the things you are too cowardly or decent to do."

Now that's something I can explore that will really help my manuscript. I even know a book I can use as a case study for my exegisis - Sonya Hartnett's 'Surrender', which also has at its heart the actions of the shadow self. I'm sure there are plenty more out there, too.

So I feel that I'm on the right track. Now all I have to do is a mountain of reading. Do you reckon I can train myself to read in my sleep?
