Dreams illustrate how glances and even unconscious perceptions are transformed into psychic images. They also confirm the importance of commonplace objects in psyche's household. There is a discipline associated with cultivating a rich dream life, and similar methods are used to enhance household spirits. We learn to watch and witness the soul's movements, striving to be more aware of its wants and ways. We take time to reflect on habitual acts, doing a routine thing as though it were the first time and experimenting with new ways of being in familiar places. These meditations let imagination fly through our habitats and revitalize the commonplace.
