This article is based on an ongoing investigation centered on the symbolic features of dreams of children with cancer, tackled from a Jungian perspective. The research aims to study symbolism present in the dreams of a sample of children aged 8 to11, suffering from cancer. The methodology chosen to categorize the symbols is the Bardin content analysis. The focus of this article is the state of the art of the research. To contextualize the state of the art, the problem that led to undertake this research as well as the main theoretical concepts that form the conceptual framework and also the objective of research and methodology applied are described briefly.
