We all dream it is a mystery in which all humankind participates. I realize this is an assumption, but it is one that I have no qualms in asserting as fact: the dream is an experiential universal for humanity.

We might say that the dream tranforms the dreamer that it possesses the ability to 'initiate', to bestow new meaning, to motivate new beginnings (Latin: initium - beginning), to permit our entrance (literally 'en-trance' Latin: inire init - to go in) to new orders of relation between ourselves and the 'other'.
