Changing Paths challenge day 19 — dreams.

Once I dreamed that I was walking across a rocky sandy landscape (the bedrock was reddish sandstone) and saw an old church.

It was very like the one in the picture above, or the one in the painting Rivières Tièdes by Ithell Colquhoun. I remember thinking it was like the one in Colquhoun’s painting when I woke up.

In the dream, I entered the church and saw the Christian imagery, and then went down to the crypt (basement) and it was full of white marble statues of Pagan gods.

I thought this was a very Jungian dream about layers of consciousness and culture. Jung had a similar dream where he was in a house and went down to the basement and it was the Stone Age (recounted in his book Memories, Dreams, Reflections).
