Quote by Joseph Campbell

Dream is the personalized myth, myth the depersonalized dream; both myth and dream are symbolic in the same general way of the dynamic of the psyche.

Summary

This quote suggests that dreams and myths have a similar symbolic nature in representing the inner workings of the human psyche. However, dreams are influenced by the personal issues and concerns of the dreamer, while myths offer broader insights and solutions that are applicable to all humanity. Dreams are uniquely shaped by the individual's experiences and struggles, while myths provide universally relevant narratives and teachings. Both dreams and myths hold valuable symbolism, but myths have the potential to offer collective wisdom and understanding.
