Joseph Campbell, cosmogonic round, and dementia

Joseph Campbell writes of the cosmogonic round of coming from the deepest through the dream to waking and then returning in reverse order.

Wonder if this says something of dementia, where people forget in reverse order? They are maybe just more visibly in the cosmogonic round than we (who are not so blessed) are. They might know they are doing the work, or they might not. Interesting. It is at least a parallel and maybe a reminder to us.
