Having worked with the #dreamlog all week, certain dream motifs are now appearing quite regularly. The value of searching by motif was not immediately evident to me. But now that I’ve been scanning tens of thousands of tweets the patterns are appearing. These searches are a good start when trying to cut the data by motif.
The parental motifs are interesting, but these “leak” all sorts of bitterness and animosity. And then there are a ton of sexual motifs (Freud would be pleased). I’ll ask you to wade into these waters on your own so as not to offend by the less then tactful and often outrageous search results that come back. Interestingly, Dream Car and Dream House are less productive searches. While very common dream motifs, these searches yield many results speaking to desired items and not dream narrative or experience.
As a followup to yesterday’s post on extraneous findings concerning collective attitudes toward the psyche and dreaming which are dismissive, the following searches are useful.
And whose the celebrity most active in the collective unconscious as it’s appearing through this cut of the data? The winner is: Dream Michael Jackson.
PS: And if this isn’t an example of the “evil” of mass tweet marketing, what is? Dream Disney Ship
