Part2, Day2.
Another, night, another, Dream.
This ,one, is, I'm, beginning, to realise, a continuation, of ,the one, I, had, and, described, in, My, last Posting.
Briefly, as follows.
I, am driving 'downhill', on an icy[slippery , but drivable with care]road. I ,reach a Mediaeval town.
A sign says 'Otingen', and, I, realise I am, in a 'Germanic',Country.
I ,leave, the car,and proceed , 'downhill', through a tightly packed street system, until, I find myself, in a kind of 'market place', with a lot of stalls, selling various items.
The one that catches my attention, is selling various, 'Russian hats', similar to the Military type, worn by Russian soldiers, but a more modern design, and some with 'Camouflage', patterning..
The stall is being attended by a giant figure, at least nine foot tall, dressed in Military garb, but with no visible weaponry.
I ,am unimpressed by the figure, and do not stop.
The next stall, is selling a giant , perfectly square, TV set, completely black.
I, look carefully at this , then leave. The 'market' has other people walking about, but none notice me, and, I, pay no attention to them. I ,awaken, knowing, I, must write this down.
First impressions.
1, Germanic country? brings to mind 'Gottingen', and it's , 'University of enlightenment', in Germany.
2, strong Russian symbolism, 'giant [male] figure? maybe 'Bear?'
3, slippery downhill road?
4, black 'square?' Tv set[technos]
So, to start with, 'Otingen'. I ,searched, Google, but found nothing satisfactory. Then, I ,thought maybe it's ot-in-gen? or perhapsm Old Testament-in Genesis?
I ,rather like the idea ,of ,Gottingen! and, it's. 'University of enlightenment!,' so, feel happy ,to follow this idea.

Mediaeval? town? reminds me of Jung's 'Liverpool Dream', only Jung went upwards! I ,was definitely, going 'Downwards'. Am I entering a depressive state? ...maybe..
Back to the first dream posting. Previously to this, I posted a piece, about, 'Ed Harris', the actor, who starred in , 'Apollo' movies.
'Crawley', is from the old English, 'Craw-leah', meaning , wood, or clearing, of Crows! so, I, was being ,'summoned;, to, the 'Court of Crows?'. Crows, and Blackbirds generally, I know, a lot, about, re; Religio/Mythology research. Apollo, has multifarious Symbolism.
But, as, I am, Self-Analysing, I am interested, in, Jungian connections.
No surprise, then, That I find, 'Apollo', straight, out, of ,Jungian terminology.
[wikipedia]
Apollo archetype
The Apollo archetype personifies the aspect of the personality that wants clear definitions, is drawn to master a skill, values order and harmony, and prefers to look at the surface, as opposed to beneath appearances. The Apollo archetype favors thinking over feeling, distance over closeness, objective assessment over subjective intuition.[1][2][3]Background
Early in the 20th century, Carl Gustav Jung sought to find a word that could describe the innate patterns of behaviour that govern our lives. Thus he introduced the term ‘Archetypes’ into modern psychology. Jung described archetypes as distinct themes manifesting in the fantasies and behaviour of his patients, and found these same themes visibly rendered in the arts, religions, myths,architecture, and social customs of all peoples. Because he did not want the term ‘archetypes’ to become yet another intellectual abstraction, Jung advanced various mythic images to illustrate them. For instance, the Goddess Demeter is a presentation of the archetypal mother; Zeus an archetypal father; Apollo the archetypal intellectual, and so on. Jung went on to personify many archetypes by using general expressions such as 'The Great Mother’, 'Old Wise Man’, 'Shadow archetype’, etc. which have now become standard expressions in the field of Analytical Psychology. Jung writes “The fact that the unconscious spontaneously personifies is the reason why I have taken over these personifications in my terminology and formulated them in names”.[4]So! my journey continues.....
Germanic and Russian themes are my interest at this moment. Nietzsche has pre-occupied me for some time now, maybe a little Russian study, will prove therapeutic? The Blacksquare, is very reminiscent of the chessboard! and , as everyone knows, the R+ussians are pretty good at Chess!
'Black Square?'
here's a little from Wikipedia. re; 'Monoliths'.
All the monoliths are black, extremely flat, non-reflective cuboids whose dimensions are in the precise ratio 1:4:9 (the squares of the first three integers). These dimensions are the main source of debate regarding the monoliths' simple external design. It is suggested in the novel that this number series does not stop at three dimensions.[1]
The monoliths are observed in several different sizes - TMA-0 and TMA-1 are both 11 feet long and TMA-2 is two kilometres long on the longest axis, while the monolith that appears on Europa is considerably larger. They may be able to assume any size, for in 2010: Odyssey Two, the starchild, David Bowman, cryptically notes that the monolith is actually one size - as large as necessary.
Also 'Otingen', may not be Gottingen?
THE GEOGRAPHIC CENTRE, OF, GERMANY, IS, DUDERSTADT?..[MAYBE?]
SO, I, TOOK, A LOOK.....
THE WIKIPEDIA ENTRY, IDENTIFIES,;
In earlier times it was the private wealth of the Roman Catholic archbishop of Mainz.
Georg von Kopp (25 July 1837 – 4 March 1914) was a German Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church who served as Bishop of Fulda (1881–87) and Prince-Bishop of Breslau (1881–1914). He was known for his anti-Polish views and pursued Germanization of his Polish parishioners.
VON KOPP, WHAT, A NAME, TO COME ACROSS, IF, YOU, ARE, FROM, LIVERPOOL..[LOL!]
SO, TOOK, A CLOSER, LOOK, AT, HIM... VON KOPP, ALSO,RESIDED, IN...
The church of Saint Agnes Outside the Walls (Italian: Sant'Agnese fuori le mura) is a titulus church, minor basilica in Rome, on a site sloping down from the Via Nomentana, which runs north-east out of the city, still under its ancient name.[1] What are said to be the remains of Saint Agnes are below the high altar. The church is built over the Catacombs of Saint Agnes, where the saint was originally buried, and which may still be visited from the church.
SO, WHAT? WELL, THIS, CHURCH, HAS,AN, INTERESTING, PICTURE...
TAKE ,A CLOSE, LOOK, INTO, THE EYES, OF, JESUS...?
IT, SEEMS, TO ME, THAT, THEY, ARE ,SOMEHOW, DIFFERENT SIZES?...
DID ,JESUS, HAVE, A GLASS EYE?..
ANYWAYS, A GERMAN PRIEST, CRITICIZING, POLISH, CATHOLICS?...
WHAT, KIND ,OF, ARROGANCE, IS, THIS?....
DIDN'T, HE, EVER, READ, THE TEACHINGS, OF, JESUS?..
FOR, AS, FAR, AS, I, KNOW, JESUS, ONLY, EVER, GAVE, HIS, FOLLOWERS,
ONE COMMANDMENT....
UNLIKE ,HIS, SUPPOSED, PREDECESSORS, WHO, LIKED, TO,DISH, OUT, TEN..
THE ICONOPHILE ICONOCLAST CONTROVERSY,I, STUDIED, INTENSIVELY, YEARS AGO..
MAYBE, THE DREAM, WAS, HELPING, ME, FIND, A KIND, OF, RESOLUTION?
IF, SO, PERHAPS, IT, MAY, HELP, SOMEONE, ELSE OUT THERE?..A POLISH ARTIST, MAYBE?
