Nearly every civilization since ancient times has portrayed explicit sexual acts. Sexuality\\u2019s numinous aspect has long brought it into close association with spirituality and religion. The powerful potential of sexual arousal is central to being human and has seized today\\u2019s collective via the Internet. Porn is symbolic of the widespread merchandising of desire, from toys to trucks. The unprecedented power of image in today\\u2019s world can now drive what Lost Goddesses author Giorgio Tricarico terms our \\u201cdesiring multiplicities\\u201d and quest for limitlessness. Pornography can be addicting, and Jung maintained that \\u201cThere is no illness that is not at the same time an unsuccessful attempt at a cure.\\u201d Pornography could also be an attempt to achieve a sense of integration and wholeness through reconnection with the archetype of the goddess.

HERE\\u2019S THE DREAM WE ANALYZE:

\\u201cThe Dragon Queen, a young blonde woman, was not the rightful queen and needed to be tamed. Everyone said to throw her in the furnace, but I couldn\\u2019t do that to her. She had become a sort of friend and had come to trust me. I came to her through a room where archery practice was taking place, a cave to the kingdom. An old friend was a centaur, and he was teaching me to shoot the bow and arrow. He had many tiny arrows, which he shot into the queen\\u2019s cave and missed. She came out and said, \\u201cLet me show you how it\\u2019s done.\\u201d I then captured her by tackling her with a black sheet. Then I sat on her and started massaging her legs vigorously. She started to relax. I then went to her arms and belly. She completely relaxed. Then I uncovered her, and she was ready to learn how to live in our society. One of the guys in the archery group took on the job of teaching her how to eat. He showed her a vision of all kinds of foods and nutrition but started with feeding her only sweets\\u2014all kinds of candy. I was worried and said so. He said that because she was a dragon, we needed to start out with feeding her that way.\\u201d
