what books would you recommend by carl jung? I saw a copy of "man and his symbols" at someone's house the other day, and I happen to be interested in sub conscious and unconscious or whatever you want to call it, and dreams already, so naturally I went and ordered it. I'm very "new" to Jung though, and it would be nice to actually know a good place to start with his works.
Lacan
The unconscious is structured like a language desu!

the 'portable jung' anthology edited by Joseph Campbell is good, desu!

Fuck no. Lacan is batshit crazy and an intro text to him would save you the headache of navigating his obscurantist shite. Especially if you don't know French.

Yeh, I feel u famalam. Lacan is interesting, but not a great place to start getting into psychoanalysis.

"The mind illuminated" is rather good on this subject. But it's more of a practical guide of meditation provided with some explanations of the mind's workings.
Finnegans wake
Definitely Lacan's 'Ecrits' as long as you are already familiar with Freud and others. There are also a number of good works which comment on and apply Lacan's ideas rendering them easier to understand.

The unconscious is not a 'mind', retard.
Freud -> Lacan
