The Middle Way and Math

Mathematical ideas are sometimes thought to be transcendental - existing independently in a world of pure thought. How is it that equations and concepts enter into the world of dreams, then? Are certain mathematical ideas favored by the psyche, especially when it is at play and not searching for the solution to a particular problem?
Assuming the psyche is attempting to find its' way to wholeness, how does math relate to this?
An article of mine A Mathematical Journey from the “Middle Way” to the Circle describes some ideas of how the Tao, math, and wholeness (and therefore Psyche) can be related.
