The social dreaming phenomenon

Abstract

1. The dream, like thinking, is always enlarging the space of the possible. Through the dream we are brought into the tension between the finite (that which we know) and the infinite (that which is beyond our ken). This for well over a century, we have termed the conscious and the unconscious. But since we can never be conscious of our unconscious thinking and thoughts, we should replace the terms with finite infinite. I believe that we are conscious of the infinite as a mental space that contains all that has ever been thought and ever will be thought in the cosmos. In a real sense, all thinking begins from "no-thought", from an absence. We make the thought present from first recognising it is not there.
