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."

Such a nice suprise to discover your blog, I liked all the poems I read so far, from this one I specially enjoyed the last 2 lines, they are perfect.
hi mariana - thank you so much for the nice comment - i hope you'll come by again and often - have a great day!
Lovely words from Poe. A little unexpected by myself but I imagine he was a man of many talents.
yes, trevor - seems our poe was quite the man - a man of all seasons, so to speak! so glad to see you over this way!
Poe never ceases to amaze, he had such an eclectic, dramatic style that I most admire. The man was truly amazing in his own right.
yes, poe remains the man, for sure!!!
