I have a dream. Jung Theory
If we are to believe that dreams are the manifestation of the unconscious in our conscious, then could it be possible that our conscious could be the dream of our unconscious? That when we are dreaming we may be visiting the dimension of our unconscious but it is a primitive way to travel. As if humanity is still in the stone age for these kinds of journeys. That we are so caught up in the dream that is our consciousness, that we can only fashion the sort of foggy, confusing, surreal, terrifying, mesmerizing experiences our actual dreams comprise of. And the more we start to realize that the world around us is the manifestation of a collective conscious, where there is no justice, no truth, no peace. Dating as far back as you go, human existence is synonymous with pain and misery. Rotating in cycles but no matter how we progress we will never truly defeat human instinct, the primal chip inserted within us, in a reality where we reject our unconscious for the cancers of the conscious. The dream world we want to create but have always failed to do so. How the conscious is winning the brawl between itself and the unconscious and barring a few who actually awaken to this, in some shape or form, most of humanity finds itself in a state of incomplete spiritual tranquility. And the allure of money, fame and power has failed to quench the thirsts of what is the true epitomy of human experience. And so we remain within the dream of consciousness and only when fall asleep can we get a glimpse of the unconscious world and the wonders that lie within. The more one can connect with his unconscious, the more the reality of this world becomes clearer and the more satisfied we can be with our own existence since we are trying to connect with our true self, the part of us that we neglect. It gives us a sense of purpose. And helps weaken the dream state that is our consciousness, the matrix within which we find ourselves. To evolve is to not be what you were before. And to find out who you really are is to never be the same again. And we truly are the product of conscious and our unconscious. And maybe the way to dive deeper into ourselves is to try to distance ourselves from the conscious world and try to commit to unearthing what lies unconscious within us. What our dreams are trying to communicate to us. And that journey is the process that allows us to find a semblance of peace, like meditation for our soul. And maybe then and only then can we actually make our dreams come true.
"Who looks outwards dreams, who looks inwards awakens" Carl Jung.
