  • Dream is personalized myth, myth is depersonalized dream; both myth and dream are symbolic in the same general way of the dynamics of the psyche. But in the dream the forms are quirked by the peculiar troubles of the dreamer, whereas in myth the problem and solutions shown are directly valid for all mankind.

    "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" by Joseph Campbell, New World Library, (Ch. 1), 1949.
