Summary/Abstract: The interpretation focuses on three of the main aspects which define Jung’s conception on the world of the inner images. The first aspect reveals the comprehensive function of intuition. The intuition seizes these unconscious images in their double nature, significant and imaginable, as icons that mean through their unapparent structure. It surprises the non-manifesting feature of the image, that is its infinite possibility, the obscure background where images appear as pure self-donation of what is hidden in their very transparency. The second aspect shows the symbolic nature of the inner images, whose contents transcends the already-known designed by the signs, opening towards the unknown and the never seen before. It is a transcendental that, although appearing as a subjective factor, shows itself as an object in the subject, but not created by the subject itself. It is about the so called great images, understood as a world in the mirror. The third aspect points out the fact that the inner images veil and show in the same time, defining themselves in a phenomenological horizon. Aspect clarified through the dialectic relation between the putting in form and the comprehension.
