Trick or Treat?

Questions

During the first class I kept thinking of random questions in response to what was talked about/read outloud and also in reponse to other random brain spasms. In no particular order...
What is the trickster's domain? Can the trickster only arrive outside the home? What sort of authority only exists Outside? Is the Outside only the public version of ourselves? Can the Outside & the Inside ever be separated? Does the trickster (re)move with impunity? Is the Trickster merely part of ourselves resisting the death that is homeostasis/boredom - the empire of bore? If I had no memory and no one had memory of me, would I exist?
How do trickster and memory interact? Does trickster only exist in the act of telling?
What does it take for people to buy the tricks of Trickster?
What do we gain from positing the real/unreal? from allowing the Trickster to reign?
Do tricksters threaten our need for control/mastery?
Are the stories we hear in the dark all-defining/sacred - belonging to another order, not to be told in the daylight? how can the dark story be more "real"?
Is Trickster always an "encounter", a phenomena of interplay?
Why do we get mad when we discover what we have believed is not true?
Does the trickster merely steal the truth and reconstruct/replace it with his own version of the story?
