“I am struck that Rank in his book on the birth trauma says that dreams of birth and childhood tend to occur at the end of an analysis—as though the child appears to keep us imagining.”
Bachelard speaks of childhood as “the archetype of simple happiness,” as “an image within us, a center for images which attract happy images.” “Childhood remains within us as a principle of deep life, of life always in harmony with the possibility of new beginnings….The archetype is a reserve of enthusiasm which helps us believe in the world, love the world, create our world.” “When one dreams in depth one is never finished beginning.”
-Christine Downing (Otto Rank, Gaston Bachelard)
