AND WANTED TO FLEE
The Dream Reality of Don Bosco
The soirée originally bore the title "Aus der Kraft eines Missverstehens" (From the Strength of a Misunderstanding), but the broadcaster later renamed it. It tells of the life of the Italian saint Don Bosco, who founded the Salesian order in the 19th century. The soirée sheds particular light on the dream world of this saint.
He understood his essentially erotic dreams and their symbolic meaning (known to us today in a very different way) in his own fashion, and drew conclusions from them that were decisive for his actions. Indeed, what his dreams told him was the occasion for his most important actions and for all his creative achievements. In his life the supernatural became natural and the extraordinary became everyday.
