The Fox's Secret

I realize that I have not posted in awhile.  December was a busy month.  The Fox Foot had final papers to write, final exams to grade, and then a cross country trip to spend time at home for the holidays.

Coming up this month, I plan to offer my interpretation of the “Escape” dream and how I think it relates to the “Ranting at Jesus” dream.  There will also be some new dreams to post and my reviews of a book about the political aspects of dreams and a book chapter that sees dreams as crucial adaptations for human problem-solving.

I hope that I have picked an auspicious day to being a blog that will be primarily about dreams.  Human beings walked on the moon for the first time exactly forty years ago today.  In the mythologies of many cultures the moon is a source of creativity and inspiration, especially when that creative energy is manifested in dreams.  When humans pair the intuitive dreams of their unconscious with their waking ability to think critically we are able to achieve impossible dreams such as literally walking on the moon.

Tonight, though, I will have to settle for dreaming under a moonlit sky as I wait for the inspiration it so often brings.
