As many so-called primitive peoples know, the sharing of a dream is a ritual. To enter someone else's dream is to tread on sacred ground, penetrating their intimacy. The unconscious is not only the reservoir of what is repressed; it also contains all our potentialities. It is a breeding ground of images and symbols that can help us in our growth.
