“Myths are public dreams, dreams are private myths.”

“It has been said that the myth is a public dream, dreams are private myths. Unfortunately we give our mythic side scant attention these days. As a result, a great deal escapes us and we no longer understand our own actions. So it remains important and salutary to speak not only of the rational and easily understood, but also of enigmatic things: the irrational and the ambiguous. To speak both privately and publicly.”

“Dream is the personalized myth, myth the depersonalized dream; both myth and dream are symbolic in the same general way of the dynamic of the psyche. But in the dream the forms are quirked by the peculiar troubles of the dreamer, whereas in myth the problems and solutions sown are directly valid for all mankind”

“The myth is a surviving fragment of the psychic life of the infancy of the race whilst the dream is the myth of the individual.”

“Nights through dreams tell the myths forgotten by the day.”

“If you dream the proper dreams, and share the myths with people, they will want to grow up to be like you.”
