Usually I don't post my dreams anywhere, I keep a dream journal instead; some things are just too private. But every once in a while I have a dream that completely shakes my foundations and bestows a deep drive to write and spread the "message."
To my friends and colleagues it is no secret that I am not a very emotional person. Heck, I even went through a phase where I believed that humanity was completely flawed by having an 'emotional system.' It just took one dream to change that. It's one of those conscious wake-up calls where the subconscious says "No, you are wrong. It's more like this... oh
While I won't post the details of the dream, (I know right? All that build-up, for what?!) I do want to post that it posed a dramatic and detailed web of our interconnectedness. Part of the dream was the human time line, others were a detailed map of the human DNA, and even another was the cycle from birth to death. (<-Not my standard dream-vocabulary [1].)
Then, even after all this, my subconscious decided to awake a decidedly sleeping part of my psyche: I the same dream scene, multiple times, but with different people each time, showing further the influence people have over each other. Talk about awaking with a feeling of "motherly love" for the world.
So, the big picture. We are connected. When one person suffers, we all suffer. Life isn't as discreet and isolated as some of us think. Like the previous post touches on, our lives (and deaths) and tribulations and pain all affect the world. So why then are we so aloof to one another?
**Side Notes**
I DO understand that there are MANY people who already feel this way. For my personality type though, tapping in to the "feeling" side is a bit different from what I'm used to.
