Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
-Langston Hughes
Dreams are uncontrollable. Dreams, as Carl Jung might say, are a product of the collective unconscious. The collective unconscious is the realm of our psyche that collects our memories and dreams- everyone's memories and dreams. We all have access to every memory and dream of every person that has been existence. But what are dreams? What is the unconscious? How are these dreams created and then collected? Every dream, every action, is precedented by myth, so does that mean that our collective unconscious as a human race is made up of mythologies?
