"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.'Old Sultan from 'Grimms' Tales,' translated by Margaret Hunt. Episode 32: Embracing Change, Old Sultan, pt. 1 Episode 33: Embracing Limits, Old Sultan, pt. 2'The Way of the Dream' by Marie-Louise von Franz
