just as we all are gypsies of a sort in this life - in this world, so, too, we are in that other world - the dream world - the place where we are free to travel to places known or places unknown - free to travel far and wide - travel without fear - without trepidation - because just as we individually create our reality world, so do we each create our dream world -
Jung, on dreams, in his "ubergang":
a small hidden door to the most deep hidden and secret corners of the psyche, an entrance to the cosmic night, which was the psyche before there was any trace of an ‘ego’-consciousness:
and what will remain the psyche, no matter how far our ‘ego’-consciousness might stretch itself…
all consciousness acts to divide, but in our dreams we take the form of a more universal, true and eternal man who wanders through the darkness of the primal night.
There he is still the whole man, and this wholeness is in him, not distinguishable from nature and devoid of any ego-consciousness.
From this all unifying depth the dream arises; no matter how childish, grotesque or immoral the dream might be."

I am hearing this name for the first time. I will read more of him in the coming days. Kind of you to introduce new people and newer quotes that makes one to think and meander.
Passion and courage to you always.
your words are always SO inspirational, susan deborah! truly inspirational - and a blessing! for them i thank you!
What we dismiss in our conscious haunts us in the subconscious mind. I'm always amazed how so few words strung together just right can have so much force and power.
you are so right, shepoet! i think my favorite phrase from this quote is "in blackness of night forgotten remnants rush to the mind" - i mean, is that not truly mesmerizing or what?
Nice one, Gypsy. In some earlier life, I think you led the gypsy caravan!
hi trish! you know, there really is something to that "affinity" thing one has with certain cultures, things, etc - so, who knows? [well, i would surely LOVE to KNOW!]
You are always welcome dear Jenean.
Great weekend to you.
Peace and joy always,
Susan
and you, susan - peace and joy!
