#dreamlog

I’ve developed a new content stream within twitter where I am filtering a twitter search of the word “dream” for tweets that are dream narritives. I then RT these dream images with the hashtag #dreamlog.

Why?

Well, while the marketer will use twitter search to uncover potential customers, the psychologist will cut this huge data stream along a different slant. As a student of Jung, my interest is finding where the unconscious is finding expression in this public agora of short messages.

The twitter search of the word dream also reveals many other collective attitudes, prejudices even, concerning dreams: wierdness, fear,..the sense that they are “nothing but.” My resharing the of these dreams I’m finding has a twofold purpose. To create a repository of dream material that is easy to access and to share with others the language and grammar of dreams within this format.

Not everyone has the luxery of working with 2000 dreams a month, the number Jung states that his practice brought before him. Finding that the unconscious speaks to all of us with its unique imagry will hopefully work to make some more familiar with the voice that reaches out to us, seemingly from “all times.”
