...the distance needed for humor is always missing from dreams.

Ive come to think of consciousness as a continuum of states from fully awake cogitation to daydreaming to the altered consciousness of hallucinations and dreams. Still interpreting dreams can only take place when were awake. I believe meaning is what the mind makes and wants. Its essential to perception and to consciousness in all its forms. But the important meanings of psychotherapy are subjective. Theres a lot of research that confirms that drem content reflects the dreamers emotional conflicts.

Dreaming is another form of thinking more concrete more economical more visual and often more emotional than the thoughts of the day but a thinking through of the day nevertheless.

Libraries are sexual dream factories. The langour brings it on.

Dreams are stories made by and for the dreamer and each dreamer has his own folds to open and knots to untie.
