"It's so funny when people put down art as not essential to a society, because it's like pretending that people don't have dreams. As if dreams don't reveal an entire subterranean world happening that must be acknowledged. Even those people who say they don't dream still do, they just forget them. People are so so so much more than just eating

hmmm dreams as religious- dreams as an essential part of society- I guess it is to say: art is a religion....I can see that...art does have that bureaucracy built in- thats why my dreams have not yet been published :-)
