I really enjoyed the idea of recounting a dream in present tense! It can be powerful enough to enact some of the feelings one experiences in a dream, especially if you put your body in the position you were while dreaming.
Also, as a Persian speaker, I was really happy to here about “Rumi and the world of dream”! Though there’s been some valuable translations by great scholars from his poetry and sometimes prose, it’s a great pleasure to read Rumi in Persian, as the rule applies to the translation of the work of every poet…
Besides anything, Machiel Klerk is right in choosing the title: “Rumi and the world of dream” as you’d frequently come up with Rumi’s use of the concept and the word “khaab”. meaning dream in his poetry.
Thanks to Dr. Dave for the interview!!!
this was a great perspective on the meaning of dreams, especially seeing waking life, as dense reality, and co-existent with our dreaming life / reality. One of my favorite quotes came to mind and I think it applies to this perspective: “there is another world, and it is this one” by Paul Eluard
Hi Dr. Dave, The transcript for this episode doesn’t seem to be available. Clicking the link above- and from the transcript list page- seems to just refresh it back to the main episode page, but not the transcript. This seems to be a problem only for this episode.
Long time, listener; I really appreciate your work. I’m using transcripts in the writing of my Philosophy of Counseling Masters Thesis. Almost done! Thanks, Dr. Dave
Thanks for letting me know. I’ve fixed it!
David
