Dream snippet

All I remember about this one was someone solemnly telling me, regarding some important person, "We call him 'the Jung of Irøn Lüng.'" The latter was not a reference to medical equipment, but a place name or possibly a title.

My subconscious may be snarking about the high proportion of untranslated, "foreign" words in Jung's The Pyschology of the Transference via what I presume are the completely nonsensical diacriticals in "Irøn Lüng."

Makes me think Jung was leading an 80s heavy metal band.

The lyrics are deep, man!

That was totally my first thought, that Irøn Lüng sounds like a metal band.

Definitely nonsensical!

Oh, right--I should have remembered that. Motley Crue, etc, with decorative umlauts.
