The dreaming mind’s relationship with categories is vastly more authentic than that of the waking mind, which, generally uses them to form projections of likeness or antithesis. This process is related, I think, to the transformation of authority and authorization (from universal, to local-extrinsic, to a split where the universal is counterfeited and the [false-]social is pitted against the crudely established internal) over the span of the evolution of human consciousness. At present, various false authorities vie for attention in consciousness, and the winners decide ‘the’ categories of phenomenon, relationship or objects. The dreaming mind, however, does not impose hard categories at all; and this is, in part why dreams are difficult to remember… and impossible to communicate the essences of. These essences are supracategorical, however much they may partly participate in the categories familiar to us from waking thought and speech.
