DREAMS
Intro
"Insight"
Dreams tell you when you're asleep,
What you hide from when you're awake.
Tumbleweed
Could that be true?
There
are dreams I've had that I would hate to admit have anything to do with
me, with who I am. I would rather imagine them as just pictures on the
screen of my mind.
Perhaps
the Philosophers can shed some light on the subject.
*
Carl
Jung says:
"The
dream is a small hidden door in the deepest and most intimate sanctums
of the soul, which opens into that primeval cosmic night that was soul
long before there was a conscious ego."
*
Zora
Neale Hurston has this to say.
"Women
forget all those things they don't want to remember, and remember
everything they don't want to forget. The dream is the truth."
*
And
perhaps Herman Melville was thinking of whales when he wrote:
"One
trembles to think of that mysterious thing in the soul, which seems to
acknowledge no human jurisdiction, but in spite of the individual's own
innocent self, will still dream horrid dreams, and mutter unmentionable
thoughts."
*
Michel
de Montaigne seems to confuse the issue a bit. He said:
"Those
who have compared our life to a dream were right.... We sleeping awake,
and waking sleep."
*
Let's
see what the Knights of the Square Table have to say, shall we?
