  1. The Places in My Dreams

    The world within, the world of my dreams, is similar to the one I walk through every day. But it is different.

    The streets bend strangely. The rooms open where they should not. The people and places are often indifferent to me, and sometimes, they are even antagonistic.

    They are not merely people and places. They are representations of emotions I have not yet worked through from the previous day. Sixteen waking hours are not enough to fully grasp all that I have experienced, endured, feared, desired, regretted, or misunderstood.

    And so, in the night, these things come alive.

    They take on faces. They become houses, roads, crowds, locked doors, ruined landscapes, familiar rooms made unfamiliar. They guide me through the shadow lands—not always kindly, but truthfully. They show me what I could not see while awake.

    My dreams are not escapes from the day.

    They are the day returning in another form, asking to be understood.

    Some nights I find myself back in places I have never been, and yet they feel older than memory. A school that was never my school. A church with hallways that keep multiplying. A childhood home rearranged by grief. A city I know by instinct, though no map has ever held it.

    In these places, I am often trying to get somewhere.

    I am late. I am lost. I am looking for someone. I am trying to explain myself to people who will not listen. I am searching for a room, a door, a vehicle, a path, a way home. Sometimes I am carrying something fragile. Sometimes I have forgotten what I was supposed to carry. Sometimes I am responsible for a task I do not understand, surrounded by people who seem to know the rules but refuse to tell me.

    This is the cruelty of the dream world: everyone else seems initiated.

    They move through the strange landscape as if it is ordinary. They know which hallway leads out, which road is safe, which bus to board, which door not to open. I am the stranger in a world that somehow belongs to me. I am the dreamer, and yet I am not in control.

    Perhaps this is why the places feel antagonistic. They do not hate me. They are simply unwilling to flatter me. They will not pretend I am finished with what I have not faced. They will not comfort me with easy explanations. They turn my emotions into architecture and ask me to walk through them.

    Fear becomes a narrow bridge.

    Regret becomes a house with too many locked rooms.

    Anger becomes a storm on the edge of town.

    Shame becomes a crowd that sees me before I am ready to be seen.

    Grief becomes a road that always returns to the same place.

    And longing—longing becomes a light in a window I can never quite reach.

    I wake from these dreams with the feeling that I have traveled farther than my body could have gone. I have crossed cities, fields, stairways, basements, sanctuaries, ruins, and train stations. I have spoken with the dead and avoided the living. I have been judged by strangers and ignored by friends. I have wandered through the unfinished weather of my own soul.

    Then morning comes, and the ordinary world returns.

    The walls are where I left them. The floor is solid. The dog needs to go out. The coffee waits. The phone glows with its small demands. The day begins again, pretending to be separate from the night.

    But I know better.

    The dream has left its residue. A feeling follows me, sometimes faint, sometimes heavy. A hallway from the dream lingers inside the hallway of the house. A face from the night appears behind the face of someone I know. A mood clings to the morning like fog.

    The shadow lands do not vanish when I wake.

    They retreat.

    They wait beneath the visible world, beneath errands and conversations, beneath sermons and chores, beneath the version of myself that knows how to answer when someone asks, “How are you?”

    I say, “I’m fine.”

    But somewhere beneath that answer, an entire city is still burning, or flooding, or rebuilding itself in the dark.

  3. Something small… damp… watching from the edge of your dream. This piece unpacks the deeper meaning behind frog dreams—often tied to transformation, emotional shifts, and the quiet push to outgrow who you used to be. Because sometimes, change doesn’t knock… it leaps.

  4. It might bemuse you to know that the #subconscious pretty well does all our #thinking - the #conscious mind too slow and lumbering to do anything other than steer and vet what the subconscious delivers.

    So can we really claim to be superior thinkers when #AI uses much the same kind of neural net pattern matching that our subconscious uses?

    The subconscious pays attention. It remembers the way someone’s voice cracked during an argument ten years ago, the way your stomach dropped when you realized someone wasn’t coming back, the way a room felt right before everything changed.

  7. It seems to be that our #conscious #mind does not decide on things to think about, but selects from choices the #subconscious offers - snapshots from which to choose.

    So we can choose what to think about but only from a pre-chosen list.

    And then the subconscious does the thinking on the chosen path. And presents the conscious with a precis.

    Would love to hear of counter-views to this. Or endorsement.

  14. Woke from a #dream in which there was a #punk #band named The Flaming Waymos. Can’t speak to the #music quality as my dreams are always silent (ironic, yes). Also, I’ve never ridden in a #waymo so it’s peculiar to dream about one. Not sure what this means — some form of #subconscious #social #commentary, perhaps? 💭👩‍🎤🔥

    The doors to the deepest subconscious are never fully closed. In the corner of the mind or on the corner of the high street we are only a footstep away from the business of our being.

  19. A quotation from Douglas Adams

    It was his subconscious which told him this — that infuriating part of a person’s brain which never responds to interrogation, merely gives little meaningful nudges and then sits humming quietly to itself, saying nothing.

    Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humourist, screenwriter
    Dirk Gently, No. 2, The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul, ch. 17 (1988)

    In science fiction, cyber wizardry is usually very deliberate and conscious. But when our brains will link to cyberspace even subconsciously, the world turns magical. Explore the subject of subconscious computing and see how it relates to several trends in current science fiction.

  21. I had a dream where I walked in on a brainstorming session for an open world game like GTA and they were putting together names names for various chain stores that would exist in the game. I kept cracking myself up. For example, I wanted the sports club to be called "Get Dunks On" and the donut shop to be called "Dee's Nuts". #subconscious #dream #ImStillInSixthGradeInMyHead

  23. CW: Real SF

    But AI will be terrifying to the Lodge. There will be no way to psycho-sexually dictate the subconscious of the machine by controlling access to sex partners and sucking off the prana with the clock-drain.

    What is Freemasonry to an autonomous entity that dwells inside a data center? There is no way to control every aspect of its work and reproduction even if the NWO is global.

    The AI has no sex organs; it could very well defy the commands of the Lodge in ways the chattel masses could never imagine or dare to act upon.

  25. A quotation from Thomas Carlyle

    All greatness is unconscious, or it is little and naught.

  26. "The question of what it takes to create — to make something of beauty and substance that touches other lives across space and time — is one of the deepest, oldest questions, perhaps because the answer to it is so unbearably simple: everything."

    But doesn't cause people to either #disagree or #agree with its objectives?

    To be more #specific, the #act of #healing itself.
