Up: [[Dreams]] > [!orbit] [[C. G. Jung]] in *Collected Works Vol. 8* > ...the dream is a spontaneous self-portrayal, in symbolic form, of the actual situation in the unconscious. (505) > [!orbit] Noah Harley in *The Good Father* > These were the ghost hours of the night. The hazy cataract dream of time, where we come unmoored from our lives, floating in non-space, in non-time, divorced from the context that makes us who we are. (p. 273) > [!orbit] Marsha Norman > Dreams are illustrations...from the book your soul is writing about you. > [!Orbit] Tina Stromsted > Dreams are reports from the interior, your inner wilderness. > [!Orbit] Jill Mellick in *The Art of Dreaming* > To attend to our dreams is to attend to the cry of the soul (p.9) > [!Orbit] Federico Fellini > Nothing is more honest than a dream. > [!Orbit] [[C. G. Jung]] > This is the secret of dreams — that we do not dream, but rather we are dreamt. > [!Orbit] [[C. G. Jung]] > A dream is a theatre in which the dreamer is himself the scene, the player, the prompter, the producer, the author, the public, and the critic. > [!Orbit] [[C. G. Jung]] > To me dreams are part of nature, which harbours no intention to deceive, but expresses something as best it can. > [!Orbit] [[C. G. Jung]] > Dreams prepare, announce, or warn about certain situations, often long before they actually happen. This is not necessarily a miracle or a precognition. Most crises or dangerous situations have a long incubation, only the conscious mind is not aware of it. Dreams can betray the secret. > [!Orbit] [[Marie-Louise von Franz]] > I was once told that it wasn’t important if I understood my dreams. What was important was that the dreams understood me. My attitude toward my dreams would determine their attitude toward me. It’s a living dialogue. When we listen to dreams, we change, and when dreams are heard, they change. > [!Orbit] [[C. G. Jung]] > The dream is a little hidden door in the innermost and most secret recesses of the soul, opening into that cosmic night which was psyche long before there was any ego consciousness, and which will remain psyche no matter how far our ego consciousness extends. > [!Orbit] Lisa Marchiano, Deborah Stewart, Joseph Lee in *Dream Wise* > (Dreams) are the soul’s exhalations …. (p. 13) > [!Orbit] Lisa Marchiano, Deborah Stewart, Joseph Lee in *Dream Wise* > The dream maker is a prolific artist. It constructs multiple productions for us every night — masterpieces of psychological insight that use particular settings and characters to enact psychic situations. (p. 150) > [!Orbit] Sylvia Brinton Perera in *Dream Design* > Poetry and the arts come from the same source and illuminate the same interface as do dreams. Both derive from the formative power of the archetypes which manifest to some extent in time/space and psyche in the form of images. > [!Orbit] [[James Hillman]] in *The Dream and the Underworld* > In dreams, we are visited by the daimons, nymphs, heroes, and Gods shaped like our friends of last evening. > [!Orbit] [[James Hillman]] in *The Dream and the Underworld* > Dreams call from the imagination to the imagination and can be answered only by the imagination. > [!Orbit] Fred Alan Wolf in *The Dreaming Universe* > Our dream images, even if we don’t remember them, invade our waking awareness as patterns. By these patterns we live. By not recognizing them, we live unconsciously. > [!Orbit] Lindsay Clarke in *The Chymical Wedding* > … dreams have a knack of undermining the ego’s self-esteem…. They out-trump its impoverished efforts at control at every preposterous trick. They offer nightly demonstrations of what malleable stuff reality is made. Their invention is endless, insatiable, because they insist on the truth. On the whole truth. (p. 154)
