ABSTRACT
During several years of dream gathering in different countries, the author have come up with a map of our dreaming-mind-psyche that shows how he imagine human consciousness to be at work without exactly declaring itself. Dreaming is one among several of the body's languages, but the psyche's grammar is subtler. Listening for the "sound" of a dream, then, can be likened to listening to the notes of a chord or imaginatively feeling a dream's texture. Another way to think about a dream is to understand it as a Holon, which means "whole in and of itself". For example, in relation to a dream image, a dream is autonomous and self-reliant. Attention to one's dreams over time can become an important life resource, for attention and awareness are gateways to the mind. Attention to dreams hones individual attentiveness to whatever is deeply felt and individually grasped, embraced, and intuited, even when barely perceived.
