"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." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero With a Thousand Faces EPISODE LINKS Robert Waggoner - Lucid Dreaming Gateway to the Inner Self Robert Monroe - Journeys Out of the Body Carl Jung Henry Fuseli's - The Nightmare Circa Survive iBand Nicky Alice's Microdosing Blog (password: lucy) LUCID DREAM COMMANDS MENTIONED - More lucidity now - Thought forms disappear - Show me what I need to know CONNECT NickyAlice.com @nickyalice @heartpathinc @projectportalofficial @moonriseevents @isthisadream_ Is This a Dream Facebook page isthisadreampodcast.com
