‘O, How I Dreamt of Things Impossible.’ (the apocalypse and graphic design)

horsemouth is up early. in jung’s man and his symbols (itself the product of a dream where jung was lecturing to a large audience and they understood him) he came across a blake engraving (here in a rather poor rendering) - he particularly likes the dancing figures.  horsemouth has made the move ‘downstairs’ from his sky bed (where he practices for his sky burial in sleep - yes you’ve got it , horsemouth (like the jains) wishes to be left out to feed the animals after his death, if this means his hand accidentally being dropped by a vulture on a passer-by then so be it.) this is the source of the imagery in his recent dreams - of being high up on a window ledge, of being low down with one’s bed on the ground. the overcrowded world comes from horsemouth’s journeys across the seaside towns at rush hour (is it horsemouth’s imagination or is it getting worse?). horsemouth will be making another such journey in an hour or so.

while jung was comfortable with this death imagery freud was not - viewing it as oedipidal on jung’s part - on their way to america in 1909 they’d stoped off at the bleikeller in bremen (which horsemouth assumes is like klatovy or brno in the czech republic with air dried monks or citizens incorruptible in the church crypt) - ‘he cherished the peculiar idea that I contemplated his early death’ said jung.
