Carl Jung developed his ideas on the afterlife through observing his own dreams as well as the dreams of other people. He stated that there was no way to claim we could have absolute certainty on this topic and that it was not a scientific or rational subject matter. Nonetheless, he thought it was important to have an understanding of the mythology of the afterlife or to try to have some idea of the possibilities of life after death as this is said to be something of a psychological benefit. Jung outlines his mythology of life after death that results in an understanding or sense of significance for our lives as having a purpose for our consciousness and a relationship with the unconscious. Jung observes that through para-psychology that there are indications that the Psyche has some aspect where it operates outside of the bounds of space and time. This leads Jung to speculate that the 'land of the dead' are 'located' in this spaceless and timeless dimension of the Psyche. Of course, Jung admits that there is no evidence that any part of us lives on for eternity but that it could be possible that some aspect of us could exist after our death but that we would not know if we would be conscious of this or not. Jung also shares some of his dreams that are interesting mind-benders for us to consider.
