Dreaming by the Book-or-Oral Tradition and the Alexandrian Library
Adventures in the Gutenberg Galaxy -or- Museum of Collective Memory
The perennial epic frame story idea of the hero has been the bio-cultural driving force of the dream visions of Western and Eastern civilizations. The iconological dreams and nightmares of epic folk heroes and folklore are part and parcel of the oral tradition which records oral history. Freud in "Interpretation of Dreams" tells his readers that his eldest son who after "he had been excited the day before by a book on the legends of Greece..." dreamt; "that he was driving in a chariot with Achilles and that Diomede was the charioteer." The French philosopher Gaston Bachelard believed that better reading led to better dreaming. Cultural literacy of dreaming, is always dreaming by the cultural frame story of the book.
From a literary mise en abîme frame story perspective, many dreams have been dreamt after falling asleep while reading. Christine de Pizan while reading Boetius "Consolations of Philosophy" fell asleep dreaming the story of Le livre du chemin de long estude. Samuel Taylor Coleridge reading Purchas, his Pilgrimes fell asleep and upon waking wrote his poetic fragment "Kubla Khan or, A Vision in a Dream". Leopold von Sacher Masoch "Venus in Furs" features a protagonist who falls asleep while reading Hegel then dreams of speaking to Venus. The epic philological reader-responses of speaking, reading, writing and dreaming provides the psychodynamic foundation for creating an understanding of the oral archeology of the cultural frame story cycles such as the "Matter of Rome".
Field Notes of a Dream Researcher represents a continuous frame story thread of the meta-fictional adventure of the oral reception of the aesthetic canonical cycle of speaking, reading, writing and dreaming. Marshall McLuhan called this bibliophilic adventure "The Gutenberg Galaxy", which can be seen as an historical polysemic and polyphonic novel that transports us to a virtual Alexandrian Musaeum and library. This labyrinthine museum and library contains the frame stories of the Eastern and Western canon.
Legend has it, that Alexander the Great had a dream telling him to found and build a Hellenistic city, known today as Alexandria. Field Notes features such an Alexandrian styled virtual museum and library which houses the psycho-archeology of dream vision and the epic "art of memory". In this vast library of collective memory, we find the rhetorical dissemination and circulation of the ideas found in the great books. The great books provide the oral philological base and superstructure of the literary elements of cultural discourse, reception and canon formation.
From a modern literary perspective, the art of memory was practiced by Northrop Frye, and is still being by practiced by Harold Bloom. Field Notes is a dream vision memory palace of the literary reception of world literature, an epic meta-fictional canvas of the Great Conversation's polyphonic novel which is found circulating in our collective unconscious dream world. In this mise-en-text art historical novel of dream vision we can see and read about the epic frame story psychodynamics of oral and visual culture.
Such an anamnestic writing of history can be based on the involuntary memories found circulating in the archival records of dream vision. This depth psychological genealogical approach to understanding the dream vision "Geistesgeschichte" of world history is what Field Notes of a Dream Researcher is all about. Said differently, dream vision provides the psychodynamic basis for writing about the philosophy of mind and history seen through the optics of the everyday life. Seen through the archeological lens of archival methodological writing we can envision the psychodynamic history of dream vision unfolding. This "Zeitgeist" memorial weaves a historiographic tapestry of dreams, the past and the collection of cultural literary device artifacts.
Goethe, Henry James, and Alfred Lord Tennyson all had art romance dreams about being in museums. Museums serve as an aesthetic museological theatre of knowledge and collective memory. Such dreaming still takes place as exemplified by Lewis H. Lapham "Money and Class in America", in which he talks about a dream he had, featuring an oneiric film festival of history and art film genres being shown at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. As Walter Benjamin in "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction" and his uncompleted "Arcades Project" understood, the modern marketplace is driven by an "optical unconscious" dream factory of culture industries which manufactures the phantasmagoria of oral and visual commodity for mass consumption.
Collecting dreams from throughout history makes visible the gesamtkunstwerk of the cultural optical unconscious language of visual thinking and memory. A museum of the dream vision can pragmatically unify the deep structural philosophy of mind and the bio-cultural heritage of individual and collective unconscious memory fragments, and make the epic poetic frame story of oral and visual history whole.
Who's Who in the House of Fame -or- Travels Through Hyperreality
Field Notes creates a lucid dream world, mimetically and diegetically driven by the epic story telling frame story of the Geistesgeschichte of the Great Conversation. Field Notes features the epic royal road to the cultural intersections of dream vision's frame story arc, seen as the historical and ongoing polyphonic conversation about cosmology, philosophy of mind, consciousness, communication, medical humanities, art, science, music, literature, forensics, education, theatre, film, religion, politics, economics, media studies, popular culture studies, women's, men's, and queer studies, and ecology studies.
If we stand on the shoulders of the dreams of giants, then we know that one of those dreaming giants was Callimachus. In "Aetia" Callimachus tells his readers that in a dream of horn he was transported to Mt. Helicon on an intellectual journey where he interviewed the Muses. The Muses answer questions about the mythological aetiology of the gods, heroes, cults, rituals, and sacrifices. In the "Pinakes" Callimachus provides the first philological system of textual criticism of the bibliographic organization of the Alexandrian library and its' literary epistemic representation of the world, which can be viewed from a hermeneutic perspective as "interpretatio Graeca".
Callimachus author centred compendium of literature was divided into the literary reception of generic categories and academic fields, providing an encyclopedic window and bibliographic map of the ancient great conversational canon of: philosophy, rhetoric, law, epic, tragedy, comedy, lyric poetry, history, medicine, mathematics, and natural science. This Hellenistic "Age of The Book" was organized by the art of memory personified by Mnemosyne, the mother of the Muses.
Seen from a modern literary criticism perspective, Northrop Frye's "Anatomy of Criticism" features such a synoptic "metahistorical" understanding of the archetypal recursion of the literary "memoria" cycles of the dream vision annuls of history. Frye in "The Educated Imagination" believed that only a strong educated imagination can fulfill the Renaissance dream of ending the confusion of the mother tongues, aetiologically caused by the language ruins of Babel. The mother tongue effect, has left us perennially lost in the cultural hermeneutic translation. Literature's frame story created by dreaming "Giants in Time" provide "The Keys to Dreamland" and the conscious path to understanding what Michel Foucault called "The Archeology of Knowledge".
If we are always dreaming by the archetypal language history of the book, then we can begin to understand why Rene Descartes often dubbed the father of modern Western philosophy in a dream saw two synoptic books, one that contained all scientific knowledge, the other contained all the inspirational wisdom and knowledge of poetry. However, it was not poetry that provided the game changing moment that would re-shape modern human history. The scientific giant of the 19th century Clerk Maxwell's electro-magnetic theories and equations laid the 20th century foundation for the electronic, digital and information age revolution in dreaming. Maxwell it should be noted, had a poetic bent as well, writing "Recollections of a Dreamland".
Marshall McLuhan saw the technological dreamland writing on the wall, calling this new electronic tribal mass media marketplace the "global village", and later the global theatre. The Frankfurt and Toronto Schools of Communication can explain many of the psychodynamic communication processes of media influence found operating in our collective mass media driven dream world. This electric dreamland of communication has created political economic, interpersonal and cultural globalization.
Such a global theatre of collective memory was already envisioned by Gottfried Leibniz in Théodicée, where we find the concluding paragraphs telling the reader that a dreaming Theodorus is brought to the hall of fates. A record is kept not only what happens, but also that which possibly could happen. Leibniz depicts this hall as an encyclopedic theatre where lives can be observed as a stage presentation. In this encyclopedic dramatic theatre of mind, memory, possibility and reality is where all our dreams begin. This perfect Dionysian imitation theatre uses the dream language of performance, in which the collective encyclopedia of people, knowledge and memory of all research fields such as music, math, art, politics, forensics, economics, religion, theatre, philosophy, science and medicine are being acted out in a dream vision pièce de meta-théâtre.
Today we live in a electronic global theatre dreamworld, organized by interpersonal social networks, dominated by leadership, captains of culture industries (think of Donald Trump), opinion leaders and media celebrity who play important political economic communication and decision making roles. Dream vision makes transparent the social psychological influences found operating in this Shakespearean dramaturgical world stage of the electronic global digital mass media theatre of memory. A frame analysis of the frame story of dream vision makes transparent "The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life" process of collective framing of the meta-theatrical domains of discourse, and their audience framing effects.
Long before the modern theatrical neon halls, walls and walks of fame, Geoffrey Chaucer wrote The House of Fame, a dream vision frame story that envisioned an epic house museum, a collective memory theatre with 1000 poetic painted windows in which the dreamer poet preserves reputation, fame and literary reception. Quoting Chaucer, we can see his folk psychological theory of dreams; "As if folk's complexions Made them dream their reflections". Chaucer's oneirological folk archive of heroes and fame features the stories, news, gossip, rumors and lies that historically circulate in The House of Fame. Over six hundred years later, we still find fame shaping the way we dream the stories, news, gossip, rumors and lies. We only need to look at the dreams of Marilyn Monroe, and Andy Warhol's dream about her. "As if" the philosopher poet did not have a hard enough time in presenting an accurate historiographic frame story.
Field Notes mimics the folk psychological house museum, creating 1001 electronic windows of the meta-theatre of dream vision. An epic frame story of Who's who, a polyphonic chorus of voices and visions, a cultural semiotic and philosophical manifold of collective memory and imagination, a gesamtkunstwerk, creating a meta-historical canvas seen as an oneiric art film. The books transport you through the hypereality of the Geistesgeschichte of fact and fiction, which are seen from the perspective where I Am a Strange Loop. The list of books below is only a partial list, other works will be included to make oral and visual history of the bibliophilic adventure known as the Great conversation whole. Once completed, The Great Dream Book of Field Notes of a Dream Researcher will encompass a historiographic meta-fiction, providing to you the reader with the known philosophical mise-en-text keys to the dreamland gallery of collective memory, imagination and intelligence.
The Great Dream Book is an epic mythological labyrinth of archetypal knowledge which we can learn to navigate. Can you see Ariadne's golden mythological thread running through The Library of Babel and The Garden of Folking Paths which makes up this The Great Dream Book?
