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."

Never thought of this! A dream deferred. A night time dream? Or a life dream? Or both? I night time dream: this may be fiction fodder, gypsy. Thanks!
Dream deferred? Can't think of that unless one consciously tries to do so through their unconscious intentions.
The posts are quite dreamy these days Jenean.
Lovely dreams of joy, courage and goodwill to you who inspires us with these quotes on dreams.
Dream on.

well, trish, nor i! but then, we have langston hughes!! :) and since i "dream" all the time - daydream and nightdream [or so i've been accused] :)
love your fiction fodder phrase :)
hey susan - sometimes i have dreams that are not happy ones so i wake myself to end the dream - sometimes i have great dreams and awaken for some other reason but want to continue that dream so when i go back to sleep i tell myself to start my dream where i left off - or sometimes i don't have time to go back to sleep right then so i "defer" finishing my good dream - gee does any of that make any sense? at all???
anyway - yes, let's do: DREAM ON!!!!!!
There are no actors in dreams.
very good point, trevor! very good!
