ABSTRACT

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 people ego-consciousness may extend. For all ego-consciousness is isolated: it separates and discriminates, knows only particulars and sees only what can be related to the ego. Its essence is limitation, though it reaches to the farthest nebulae among the stars. When tribes went hunting or head-hunting or had a particular religious service, the plan or start was made when the chief, the priest, or the initiator had a good dream. The Taiwan aboriginal tribes used their dreams so frequently that they had taxonomy of good and evil dreams. Architect dream occurred in Belgium in the autumn of 1990 at the beginning of a conference that included social dreaming as an activity.
