We imagine the unconscious as something inside us ... But the unconscious can equally well be imagined outside of our bodies, out in the world, like a dark, wild forest through which we roam. There are equal measures of mystery in dreams and wilderness. — Bill Plotkin, Soulcraft

The deep psyche or soul, left to find its way, will offer up or recognize in the outer world the images germane to its place on the path of life.
