Prehistoric post-modernism

[SOM]

"The narrative of a dream is above all produced by the things one
remembers and dsubsequently becomes a memory. Arbitrary and enigmatic as
they are, the phenomena and rememberancee of a dream holds wihtin its
depths the beginnings of human beliefs, culture and the art-object. That
is, human aesthetic presence, or existence-in-the-world, emerged out of
remembering the spontaneous productions of dreams. So much of what is
beleived to be essential in humanism is rooted here, from an ancient
understanding of dreams; and it can be suggested that humankind, in all
its imperfection, has not come far in the last four million years -- to
dream, says Nietzsche, is to revisit the insane faculties of prehistoric
humanity (/Human-all-too-human/). Thus, in the so called postmodern,
where the self is believed to be lost, yet can be found, can be centered
and made comfortable, the fact is, there is no certainty (and we cannot
even be certain of that). In fact, the postmodern is beginning to sound
a lot like the modern, and a lot like some religions."
