"Coming now to the form of dreams, we find everything from lightning impressions to endlessly spun out dream-narrative. Nevertheless, there are a great many 'average' dreams in which a definite structure can be perceived, not unlike that of a drama." ~ C.G. Jung, from On the Nature of Dreams in 'Collected Works, vol. 8.'
