Thanks for listening and for the feedback Cheryl he really was a joy. I've got his fantasy book sitting here so after I finish Steinbeck's East of Eden I'll be hopping on that for my fiction read and I'm sure we'll be chatting again in the new year
This is one of the coolest things you could possibly have done. At around 13:00, I'm reminded of a segment in "Way of the Dream" (8 hours of dream interpretation with Marie-Louise Von Franz!) which features a professor narrating an incredibly complex dream he'd once had. Von Franz interpreted it, if I remember correctly, to be partly having to do with his relationship with his father, partly with his relationship to one of his students, and the dreamer narrates something also regarding a certain "rarification of the air" which indirectly alluded to academic/university politics, I think. But there's much more to the interpretation than that. I've noticed I'm unfailingly able to better remember and more constructively reflect upon dreams after watching long stretches of that particular documentary. It helps one catch onto the trance logic. It really makes you think. (Okay, shutting up and watching the rest.)
Amazing. I have found certain books or movies over the years that have primed my mind into that kind of state. Been meaning to read von Franz's book on projection but I'd forgotten this recommendation to revisit this doco (and make it all the way through this time which I don't think I did last time!)
If you'd like to have a look at that particular dream, it's around 4 hours and 40 minutes into the documentary. Von Franz's accent is kind of brutal, too, which makes it more entertaining, for me at least. I love it.
Excellent from start to finish! Please have him back again!

Nice! Thanks for that Cheryl that'll save time panning!
