There’s an artistic matrix, which I have named the UNIVERSAL MATHEMATICAL MATRIX, which when discussing dreams I call the DREAM-MAKER. The Jungian school of Analytical Psychology has been, since its inception, trying to conceptualize why dream are a product of the unconscious mind. And yet artists must continue their work no matter what happens-there is an inner imperative to do so! ![]() They are largely ignored when it comes to concrete decisions as to what to do next, what choices to make in the real world. How to perceive and articulate a dream’s truth manifesting in the outer world while everything looks, on the surface, calm and ordered has always been the futile work of artists. We simply cannot understand what a dream showing the end of the world, for example, could have to do with the real outer world, if we do not naively take the dream literally. I would tell these young people that the signs were there all along but in our Western culture any connection between the inner landscape and outer world has long been severed. These are our prophets, augurs, and dreamers, speaking the poetic language of image and symbol, a language no longer understood and even pilloried. Climate Change! Irreversible! But as the younger generation may well scream, “why didn’t you do something about it earlier, when there was a chance to turn things around?” I would say to those young people that many have sounded the alarm, long before these momentous changes became visible to us all. The gathering momentum of clamouring voices sounding the alarm is, or should be, shocking.
