About this Quote

Joseph Campbell's quote suggests that misconceptions and dreams are 2 sides of the same coin. Misconceptions are stories that are shared by a culture or society, while dreams are individual experiences that are unique to each individual. Both misconceptions and dreams can be seen as expressions of the cumulative unconscious, a shared source of understanding and understanding that is available to all. Misconceptions can be seen as a method of expressing the cumulative unconscious in a public way, while dreams are a way of revealing it in a more private method. By comprehending the connection in between misconceptions and dreams, we can gain insight into the cumulative unconscious and our own individual experiences.
