| Added by clark-ross, 01 Jun 2007 Much of I sleep? has a dream-like sense of mystery, although it emerges from the shadows in the lengthy and spirited final section. The entire work can be seen as a musical journey from shadows to light, or from the unconscious to the conscious. ?I sleep and my soul awakens,? a line in Carl Jung?s Psychology and Alchemy (1944), appealed to me as a title for this composition because it conveys a sense of both poetry and mystery, and of moving through a sleeping state to a deeper kind of awakening or awareness. I was also intrigued by the symbiotic dichotomy between the Jungian concepts of shadow and ego, or between unconscious and conscious thoughts and behaviours that he considered inherent to of human nature; an earlier title for this piece was ?Shadows and Light.?
