Hermes and the Guide in Active Imagination

I read this passage from von Franz three days after the Wizard archetype in my active-imagination meditations told me that his name was Herman:

"An important motif in the dream is the guide, who instructs the dreamer. Such a figure only appears if the analyst does not take its place. Hermes, the soul guide of the alchemists, called himself 'the friend of every solitary' (cuiusque segregati - each one who is separated from the herd). The most important result of active imagination according to Jung is getting the analysand to become independent of his analyst. For that reason, we ought not to interfere in it (with the exception of making corrections in the method). When an analysand reads me an active imagination, I often think, 'I would never have done or said that!' This shows in what an individual way the actions of the ego arise in relation to the unconscious in active imagination - and this is what determines what course the inner events will take."
