Friedrich Nietzsche on Dreams - Dictionary of Arguments
Danto III 70 Dream/Nietzsche/Danto: So certain of the two halves of life, the waking and the dreaming half, the first seems to us to be the unequally preferred, more important, more dignified, more worthwhile, more worth living, even lived alone: so I would like, with all appearance of a paradox (...) assert the opposite valuation of the dream.(1) Danto: by this, Nietzsche means that every experience we can understand must already by nature be an apparant one, namely one created by human's primordial ability, whereby this primordial ability lends form to the experience in the first place. Skepticism/Reality/Nietzsche/Danto: Since "empirical reality" is our own creation and ultimately has no existence, the Cartesian fears are more or less superfluous.(2) Danto III 156 Dream/Cause/thinking/Nietzsche/Danto: Nietzsche speaks of merely 'imaginary causes' of our thinking. The dream is to look for and imagine the causes of the excited sensations, i. e. the alleged causes.(3) Explanation/Nietzsche: Just as the human still in his dreams, so mankind also concluded in the state of being awake for many millennia: the first causa, which came to mind in order to explain something that needed an explanation, was sufficient for him and was considered to be the truth.(4) Danto III 157 Danto: Nietzsche later makes the stronger assertion that there is no difference between dreams and being awake in this relationship. >Reality/Nietzsche, >World/thinking/Nietzsche, >Psychology/Nietzsche. 1.
