On Dreams

I'd like to think works of art are dreams we can share. They are dreams which are explicit as well as implicit and therefore may also require analytical and conscious thinking in their conception, but that in the end are most powerful when they also recreate in the audience an unconscious and primal raction. I believe this is Jung's take on it too: The collective unconscious being formed by myths and artistic representations. This was very influential on Joseph Campbell as well. Their work is amazing. I don't agree with Freud's oversexed interpretation of dreams but he gets kudos in my book for being one of the first to study them seriously from a somewhat scientific perspective. I'm sure we'll talk more about all this.
