The Dream

FIRST CONSCIOUSNESS WAS A DREAM

Animal´s first awareness of itself. The world of unseen souls.

The dream talks to us like life does. We might not recognize it though. Jung said we dream all the time, but during waking hours the dream is so faint and brittle it drowns in the awake impressions. Accordingly the dream though merges with our wake experiences, affects our daily deeds and guides us without knowing. It colors our perceptions like the psychological fenomena priming; preconcieved conceptions, or unknown opinions that alter our interpretation of what we experience. The dream guides us on the basis of what we already know and extrapolates dangers and possible benefits and pleasures. The dream is a guide and an also a frivolous play with personal life and the totality of everything. As we don’t understand the nuances we see it as poetry as mystery and desteny. The dream don’t think the way us conscious do. It has no bounderies as we have. It has a reservoire rooted in human history, of our inherited behavor, but also the world of our own lived experience but forgotten or surpressed, too vast for you to fathom in your petty life of strife. The unconscious don’t bother you, you have your life to live, but pokes on you at nighttime when time for reflexion and summery. (But if you don’t have time you say, reflexion builds up… continue)

The dream has full access to symbols, myths, narratives and all our memory, including our collective inherited memory from eons of time as archetypes based in instinct. Narrates our interpretation of time and complex logistics, ways of describing what happens to us. Narrative, symbols, myths, concepts, deductions. That’s how we make sense of the world. The dream though don’t give a shit about your political correctness. The dream trancends all of you and far beyond.

Studies and analyse of psychedelic experiences gives us a hint of the dream’s influence on our perceptions.

We think and dream in different challenging scenarios. This is noticeable if you are in an uncertain situation, depression, conflict, etc. We can be thrown between different possibilities, this can be really unpleasant. A psychosis might be described as your subconscious, your unknown, in conflict with your ego’s presumed ingrained stubborn view of itself and what is happening to you in your world.

Dreams are in some ways lit by the moon.
