Review:
- I was thinking about time and space referring to Father and Mother.
- A very Social SDM in terms of a way to create and apply a role during the pandemic.
- Dreams around the question of inner self and social experience.
- A connection with Institutions and a very psychosomatic feeling: foods, memories with family and action in social context. Also it seems that we are in a process in which we can observe a transgenerational movement. A transgenerational reflection not only with the pandemic but with Institutions.
- The matrix is a real container!
