on dreams
"All day long I have exciting ideas and thoughts. But I take up in my work only those to which my dreams direct me."
Carl Jung

"In dreaming cultures- to which all of our ancestors belonged- everyone was presumed to be a dreamer. Someone who was not in touch with his or her dreams was regarded as less than human, a spiritual and emotional cripple. Dream-sharing was seen as fundamental to the identity, as well as the health and security, of the family and the community."
Robert Moss in Conscious Dreaming

"I have no theory about dreams. I do not know how dreams arise. On the other hand, I know that if we meditate on a dream sufficiently long and thoroughly- if we take it about with us and turn it over and over-
something almost always comes out of it."
Carl Jung

"The dream world is the real world."
Seneca Indian Healer

"Sender of true oracles while I sleep, send me your unerring skill, to read what is and will be."
Greek Magical Papyri XVI 11 b

"If you bring forth what is within you
What you bring forth will save you.
If you do not bring forth what is within you
What you do not bring forth will destroy you."

The Gospel of Thomas

"Dreams are the facts from which we must proceed."
Carl Jung
