A Quote by Claude Cahun
Realities disguised as symbols are, for me, new realities that are immeasurably preferable. I make an effort to take them at their word. To grasp, to carry out the diktat of images to the letter.

We know only what we do, what we make, what we construct; and all that we make, all that we construct, are realities.

But there will be a toll on our environment and on our economy, and the toll will rise higher with each new generation.
If we can be cheered up by positive images we can be depressed by negative ones. As long as we accept images as realities we are in that trap, because you can't control the images.
There are symbolic dreams-- dreams that symbolize some reality. Then there are symbolic realities -- realities that symbolize a dream.
