“Most Westerners have a day consisting of eight hours of work, eight of play, and eight of sleep.
The eight hours of sleep, that third of a day of darkness, is sharply distinguished in our minds from the two-thirds of a day of waking and light.
We try not to think of that time of darkness and dreams. We pretend that we don’t dream, or if we do, that the dreams are meaningless.
Yet nightmares leave us all shaken and afraid.
None of us are so modern that we can laugh at nightmares, while they are happening, and dismiss them as silly phantoms of the night.
Nightmares are too powerful for that. Nor is anyone so “enlightened” that they can laugh at nightmare’s shadowy day-time companions—panic, anxiety, depression.
It’s only in the safety of light that we can dismiss the darkness.
The third of our life governed by darkness is always there, waiting to be addressed, asking patiently for an answer to its endless question.”
