ABSTRACT
I BEFORE embarking on our discussion of the drawings, it is advisable to introduce to the reader the method denoted by the term " active fantasying."
It consists in letting the mind loose, allowing whatever will to come into consciousness. The difference between this and idle day-dreaming is a question of valuation or attitude. The very fact that meaning is attached to the imagery, and that it is recorded and valued, seems to constellate the autonomous activity in a peculiar way. Instead of wayward ephemeral fancies that blow down the wind like thistledown, the images that arise under the influence of value and attention are pregnant and relevant in a high degree.
