Nordic mythology presupposes that cosmic order is possible only through the temporary shackling of the chaotic and destructive potential of the universe— a potential which (through the process of Symbolic Inversion— q.v.) must triumph in the end.

[1] Rancid’s “As Wicked ” has the “dying dream” lyric that came to me for the complimentary title. The song is from the album, …And Out Comes the Wolves, which seems to be a synchronicity, for wolf imagery is featured in the Twin Peaks’ universe in this episode and the album’s title includes ellipses, which is a rare feature, but certainly universal in Hiking Twin Peaks: An Experimental!? Guide.
