Marking a new square

Dream: A fire raging on the ground floor of a skyscraper and I’m in the fire department and rushing in with my unit.  As we enter a balcony comes crashing down and it seems like some men were under there. We back out of the building quickly. Then watching four men perform a dance marking out a square with their patterns.

Amplification:

Strong affect destroying the ground floor,  the effects lethal to some,  the building compromised.  This frightening image gives way to the geometric dance of the four men, each moving over and over to a different corner in patterns simultaneously replicated by each.  Their energy level intense, almost furious.  Years ago, I saw an avant garde performance of a piece by Samuel Beckett that had a similar dance in it.  Here the idea that comes through:  the dance pattern defines a new square for the next building or field of action.  I’m reminded of Jung’s quote: “No psychic value can disappear without being replaced by another of equivalent intensity.”
