Argues that man creates a cultural order inside which he lives. Outside of that form of life is the 'wilderness': the outer wilderness of untamed nature and the inner psychological wilderness of areas of personality hidden in everyday life. Only by stepping outside his culture can man understand his cultural self. Only by experiencing the wilderness outside our normal system of living can we understand what we are as civilised beings within our form of life. He suggests that primitive peoples have a better understanding than modern scientific man of this need to step outside the cultural order in order to understand what is inside it.

reviewed Dreamtime on February 12, 2021 Dreamtime
The text is 133 pages. Then 240 pages of notes, then another 90 pages for the bibliography and index.
I claim to only have read the first 133 pages, and to have dipped into the rabbit hole notes as whimsy commands.
"Thinking about thinking" is like scratching an itch: the more you scratch, the more it itches. "The dream place is a little like that ... the dream place is everywhere and nowhere, just like the dreamtime is always and never. The more a person looks for it, the farther away it gets."
Fairytales, origin stories, traditional wisdom, half-remembered dreams, half-forgotten knowledge 'the boundary between wilderness and civilization is always with us but never within our grasp. It wraps around us, protects us, traps us, shelters us, imprisons us. All these enigmas, filtered through a German professor of cultural history, and then translated into English.
Plus werewolves. And fertility cults. Enjoy.
