Topic Scope And Freshness
Key Notes
model
Jiang links the dream’s collapse of past, present, and future to the universal unconscious existing beyond ordinary time and space.
diagnosis
Jiang treats future-like dreams as common enough to be evidence for the universal unconscious rather than isolated curiosities.
model
For Jiang, the point of the night rule is to force self-reflection through sleep and dreams rather than continuous motion.
definition
