jung is simply aware of the impossibility of full satisfaction, awake or asleep. he is a bit of a pessimist. but he means the same thing, ultimately. cause what would happen to the theatricality of the underworld if each dream fulfilled one desire, full filled fully filled, there would be an end to dreams, which would be horrible. so we are not fulfilled so that we can go on dreaming after all. we'd rather be compensated, oh well, better than nothing.
now if we turn our attention to a particular and adopt a less hypothetical and more practical language what would we say?
exhausting dreams repetitions of that which occurs daily and that which reminds me daily that it is NOT occuring so the compensation, the momentary gratification in the cinematic experience, is ultimately incapable even of compensating for what is lacking.
hence let us not speak of degrees at all. let us not quantify (as in every other time). let us recognize the void. or let us not recognize anything at all. either way will do.
