Apollo and Daphne by N. CHICK Q: Does mythology comes in dreams?

Take the classic opposition, that made by Nietzsche, between Apollo, the sun god, the principle of light, roughly associated with Christ, and Dionysus, the god of the bacchanal, the god of wine, etc. ... opposed to rigor and hieratic Christian. Well, there is a very common type of dream: we could call it "the bacchanal in the church." The church, this place of silence, a silence more or less fertile, where boredom, convention and anxiety are more prevalent now than genuine fervor, and the boiling heat of the soul, the church becomes a place of orgy . I see these dreams come often in people who are related to religious practice. These dreams have in them a liberating effect. Instead qi will have a life too free in this area will be reduced to austerity. I know a person who is brought to life instincts, who dreams that she regularly finds himself at the convent and that imposes a strict rule, after which it returns, although course to another lifestyle.
