as taught by yours truly.
In my last post, I asked what was the difference between
1. in my dreams I saw him
2. I saw him in my dreams
and I will start by admitting the answers I got were really creative.
This two statements mark the difference between the civilized and the savage mind. In the first case, the speaker recognizes that it is just a dream. That the happenings is in his brain.
And in the second scenario, the dream becomes a separate existence, just as real as his waking realities. He believes in doubles that move out of the body during sleep. To such a person, should a person be found dead in the morning they would say his soul left and didn’t return.
End of class.
I apologise for not responding sooner to most of you. I had traveled.
Random thoughts 
Great answer. I likes it. I traveled, too. However, I don’t remember where I went or for how long. I lost my used will and had to rely on an expensive replacement that, in retrospect, sucked. You’d think with an expensive will, you’d at least remember what the hell you did while using it. I want my $ back.

Hahaha. I hope you get the refund and your old will back. New and expensive things are not always great

Sorry Mak, should have answered on the original post but I thought the difference was obvious. I dream a lot 😉 But seriously you summed up the different states of dreaming.
Difference between savage and civilised mind? Is that a rousseauism? Might question that. When I wake up. After tonight’s dreams …

The latter is often self directed while the former is an uncontrolled instance. You failed to distinguish in either case if the dream was wet? I’m confused. 🙂

Personally I don’t see any difference in the information conveyed in the two statements apart from the first statement putting a slight emphasis on where the event occurred.
I think you’re reading more into the statements than is provided by the information. As to being the difference between savage and civilised minds, all I can say is hogwash (in the nicest way possible of course).
