Interpreting Dreams and Nightmares

I have always had a fondness for the narrative of dreams. Why this may be so I could not speak. I do recall a former life as a psych major reading Freud's Interpretation of Dreams. Recognizing his iconic topography yet wondering about his training in phylogeny, predicting one's pre-adolescent healthy ego and ecological restorations of our species' cooperatively maturing habitat throughout our multicultural matriarchal-dominant rebirthing story. I hope to feel this timeless sacred narrative of Earth's reweaving Sabbath, regenerating Eden's therapeutic dreams of polyculturing Paradise. And, not quite so many patriarchal pathological nightmares emerging shared paranoid and claustrophobic punishing vocations so vulnerably naked without potential integrity, somehow not yet patriarchally here with matriarchal now, co-arising. I LeftBrain dominate with far too retributive non-redistributive neglect of justice days manifesting competitive WinLose assumptions, haunted by LoseLose nightmares of a merely secular mortality. I RightBrain dream in restoratively manifest destinies toward WinWin ecopolities of cooperative therapeutic praxis.
