Ron, When you sleep, do you have "collective dreams"? i.e. shared with many to form a whole? Are other people you?
Micah Micah, "Less mystical proponents of the Jungian model hold that the collective unconscious can be adequately explained as arising in each individual from shared instinct, common experience, and shared culture. The natural process of generalization in the human mind combines these common traits and experiences into a mostly identical substratum of the unconscious. For example, the archetype of "the great mother" would be expected to be very nearly the same in all people, since all infants share inherent expectation of having an attentive caretaker (human instinct); every surviving infant must either have had a mother, or a surrogate (common experience); and nearly every child is indoctrinated with society's idea of what a mother should be (shared culture). The amalgam of all these effects could be the source of the shared figure, or archetype, which reportedly appears very nearly the same in most peoples' dreams. Regardless of whether the individual's connection to the collective unconscious arises from mundane or mystical means, the term collective unconscious describes an important commonality that is observed to exist between different individuals' dreams. It was simply formulated by Jung as a model." -wiki -Ron collective [ k? lktiv ] adjective Definition: 1. shared by all: made or shared by everyone in a group 2. collected to form whole: collected together to form a whole or added up to form a total from different sources or groups 3. applying to many: applying to a number of individuals taken together Staff training was the collective responsibility of the three personnel officers. share [ sher ] verb (past and past participle shared, present participle sharing, 3rd person present singular shares) Definition: 1. transitive and intransitive verb use something along with others: to have or use something in common with other people We shared an apartment. 2. transitive and intransitive verb take responsibility together: to take equal responsibility for something along with other people We shared the blame. 3. transitive and intransitive verb let somebody use something: to allow somebody to use something or have part of something I shared my ice cream with him. 4. transitive verb divide something equally between people: to allocate equal parts of something to different people or groups She shared out the money among her six grandchildren. 5. transitive verb have similar feeling or experience: to have something the same as or in common with somebody else He shared my view that the plan would not work.
