So, like a forgotten fire, a childhood can always flare up again within us.
Gaston Bachelard

Reverie is commonly classified among the phenomena of psychic detente. It is lived out in a relaxed time which has no linking force. Since it functions with inattention, it is often without memory. It is a flight from out of the real that does not always find a consistent unreal world.

The repose of sleep refreshes only the body. It rarely sets the soul at rest. The repose of the night does not belong to us. It is not the possession of our being. Sleep opens within us an inn for phantoms. In the morning we must sweep out the shadows.

Gaston Bachelard
Image
Thanks to his complex convictions, made strong with the forces of animus and anima, the alchemist believes he is seizing the soul of the world, participating in the soul of the world. Thus, from the world to the man, alchemy is a problem of souls.

The great function of poetry is to give back to us the situations of our dreams.
Gaston Bachelard

The repose of sleep refreshes only the body. It rarely sets the soul at rest.

Love is never finished expressing itself, and it expresses itself better the more poetically it is dreamed.
Gaston Bachelard
Image
The psychology of the alchemist is that of reveries trying to constitute themselves in experiments on the exterior world. A double vocabulary must be established between reverie and experiment. The exaltation of the names of substances is the preamble to experiments on the exalted substances.

The night dreamer cannot articulate a cogito. The night dream is a dream without a dreamer.

The characteristic of scientific progress is our knowing that we did not know.
