I had a dream recently where I was guiding a civilisation over multiple thousands of years. Att the end of the dream when they had finally overcome their problems, one of them said to me ‘being a person, when really you’re just a blob of goo, is the most profound thing you could ever do.’
And it hit me so hard. All I am is a bunch of cells held together in a skin bag. And yet I’m a person with feelings and experiences and desires. And I did that, I live it. It makes us all so valuable.
Have your dreams ever had effects on you like that?
Mine is kinda heavy but I used to struggle with suicidal ideation alot. Then one night I had a vivid dream that one of my had died by suicide.
Seeing how that impacted me and all my coworkers in the drram was painful, but really helped hive me a better perspective on the impact and connection we have on others.
