this bag of dreams...

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."

Very nice. Yeats portray so much dramatic richness in his words. I have a few of his quotes stored on my hard drive. I love the photo too. I'm hoping its the dreams that are wrapping around me and not the chord. Yikes! Just kidding :) Inspiring entry for sure.
yes, yeats would be hard to beat in anything written! just a little play on the words and the chord and the image :)
Hi Jenean. Not sure about W B Yeats but the poem The Lady of Shalott was written by Alfred Lord Tennyson about a lady cursed and living in a castle constantly weaving a magic web. The outside world was viewed through a mirror which she broke the unknown curse when she saw Sir Lancelot ride by.
She stopped weaving...got in a boat and died on the way to Camalot.
Had a senior moment ...obviously the words were by W B Yeats who was a member of the occult organization The Golden Dawn along with the notorious A Crowley.
