The Answer Floor
Dreamed 1985/2/16 by Wayan
I dream the Answer lives on Four;
My tower has just Three.
No Spelunk reveals the Way;
No easy Stair for me.
Whirlwinds in the Lobby
Dust-veil the carven Name.
I'm in estrange Establishment:
A Plane I've never Known.
Not sere Past, nor Mezzanine,
Nor my greener Goal.
Archive Four? What's it Conceal?
Tetrangular, my Soul.

A NOTE DECADES LATER
Jung had a famous dream of multifloor homes as images of the mind:
- A modern, well-lit ground floor, or conscious daily life; like the prefrontal lobe and its conscious value judgments
- A cluttered antique lower floor, his personal unconscious--old memories not present but summonable, like the memory-archives of the brain.
- A dark, cramped, archaic cellar, the collective unconscious--universal images & understandings hardwired into the species; structurally, like the cerebellum?
- A trapdoor to an archeological pit of skulls and bones: the animal heritage beneath all; our psychological brain stem?
But in my dream the floors go the other way, and seem to embody dreamwork itself.
- Daily life on the ground floor.
- Normal dreams giving an overview of daily life & testing solutions
- Great dreams, milestones in life, looking far beyond present concerns
- Level Four: spiritual visions, psychic dreams, shamanic responsibilities, what?
My dream warns I've been hitting the ceiling of Level 3, and need to go higher. For that, I first have to admit there is a Level 4. One not so easy to see from outside.
CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE
I'd been reading Emily Dickinson, I couldn't help writing the dream in her style.
