October, 1932: Proceed from the dream outward

Anais Nin heard Carl Jung's phrase "to proceed from the dream outward" and was moved to action: talking, writing, reading, walking, working, imagining, creating, living, loving. Her Henry and June phase has reached its climax at this point as June returns to Paris. Anais feels as though she brings out the best in both of them, and in return, both of them have opened her eyes, developed and expanded her, made her a woman instead of a grown child. This process has been painful for Anais, but change usually is.
