We Have Revolutionary Thought Whenever The Feeling "life Is A Dream" Becomes Geared To An Impulse To Awaken From It.

Myths, As Compared With Folk Tales, Are Usually In A Special Category Of Seriousness: They Are Believed To Have "really Happened,"or To Have Some Exceptional Significance In Explaining Certain Features Of Life, Such As Ritual.
