Liz and Paul say that the Neocons/Neo-liberals are literally dreaming. They quote from Lawrence of Arabia to demonstrate the dangers of dreaming stupidly:Those who dream by night…wake in the day to find that it was vanity. But the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible.– Lawrence of Arabia from Seven Pillars of Wisdom
On the other hand, they cite a quote that shows a powerful understanding of dreams, myths and one’s own life: Myths are public dreams; dreams are private myths. By finding your own dream and following it through, it will lead you to the myth-world in which you live. But just as in dream, the subject and object, though they seem to be separate, are really the same. – Joseph Campbell
