For several decades I had a series of recurring numinous dreams about drowning and tidal waves. Curious about their symbolic significance, and inspired by Jung’s theory of archetypes, I responded imaginally to a spectacular wild site known as “The Gap” on the south coast of Western Australia. I chose this site because—as a physical equivalent of the abyss and an imaginal embodiment of the Void—it elicited similar emotional responses to my numinous dreams. This is an account of my journey as I peered into that physical void and entered an imaginal one.

恐怖之美

几十年来，我反复做着一系列关于溺水和潮汐的梦。对它们的象征意义感到好奇，并受到荣格原型理论的启发，我想象着对西澳大利亚南海岸一个被称为“峡谷”的壮观荒野做出了回应。我选择这个网站是因为——作为深渊的物理等价物和虚空的想象化身——它引发了对我神秘梦境的类似情绪反应。当我凝视那个物理虚空并进入一个想象的虚空时，这是我的旅程记录。
