The universal langage.
1 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech.
2 As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there.
3 They said to each other, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar.
4-Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth."
5 But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower the people were building.
6 The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.
7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other."
8 So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
9 That is why it was called Babel --because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

Introduction.
Wishing to make a descriptive study of the dream from the images which constitute it, rich of several years of experience based on hundreds of dreams of patients and of a thousand personal dreams, I found myself at a given moment in front of an obviousness : How could I get this study accepted
if it was not supported by any scientific basis
and could be questioned at any moment ?
What a surprise it was then, at the very moment when I was questioning everything I had learned, to find that the scientific discoveries did not seem to call into question my own experience in this field...
So a new work began, as difficult for me as the "imposed figures" in figure skating can be, where, before giving free rein to all one's creativity, it is necessary to prove that one is capable of making perfect circles and figure eights...
This work was completed after months of long elaboration, because if it was easy to describe the mechanisms existing within the dream, as we will see later, and to identify the correspondences between the dream and the current discoveries in this field, the formatting of all these elements to put them within the reach of the greatest number of people remained a very difficult exercise.
But perhaps dreams could provide me with an answer in this area: do they not describe our inner experience in another way, that is to say, through images, to complete our understanding of it, an understanding that is generally only based on the elaborations of our everyday thinking? Images could therefore constitute the indispensable complement to better describe mechanisms that are sometimes very difficult to grasp.
It thus appears that the dream is not only inseparable from its nervous supports, but that it is also inseparable from evolution itself, both in the material relationships that give it life, and in the behaviours that have been selected by this same evolution, in particular social behaviour.
 |
However, if the analysis of dreams remains, even today, so questionable, it seems to be linked to a confusion: indeed, no distinction has been made between man's consciousness and his rational language, which is that of the "good reasons" he gives himself to justify his behaviour. |
In parallel with the 'language of dreams', we will therefore develop here more particularly the concept of 'rational language'. Indeed, it is between these two very different types of language that the misunderstanding lies. As for consciousness itself, as a capacity to know one's own reality, it only comes into play when reason opens up to these other inner components that dreams reveal during our nights.v
Thus, if the title of this work is "The Doors of the Inner World" because we will consider later what we can discover beyond these doors, the real title justifying the innovative aspect of this study should be :
