The Life Dream

imagine life being like those dreams where you understand something while dreaming, like “speaking another language” in a dream, and then you wake up, and it’s not so clear, and/or you don’t remember. such an interesting idea.

imagine life being a dream, and we understand things as we experience them, but once “out of” the dream, it’s not so clear, and/or we don’t understand them, maybe we do and don’t, or we “see” them from a more free and open “view”. they were made-up concepts. we speak words, thinking that we know what they mean (and in the dream, we do), and using them to create stories, stories that are “perceptions” and “concepts”.

and then maybe “someday” our “minds”, our “beingnesses” are more freed and open, and we “see” the perceptions and concepts that we created and were taught. and maybe “someday” there is just connection and existence and beingness. we are here to experience life, to experience living. it’s like a dream.

“circumstances” are seen through “perspectives” and assigned “meanings”. and you can decide what “meanings” and “names” you give to them. occurance, being, happening — try to imagine observing things without “categorizing” or “naming” them.

sometimes, I have hoarding dreams where I keep trying to pick up and collect things, and if I were to become lucid and realize that I’m dreaming, then I can stop and do something else, explore, etc. reality is subjective in dreams just as it is in “waking” life. it is flexible, moldable.

and what if we “woke up” one day and discovered that this life, too, is a dream? maybe all life is a type of dream, maybe every reality is a type of dream, maybe every “aspect” is a type of dream. in some ways. real and surreal. imagined and perceived.

think about it. what is dreaming? it is imagining, perceiving, experiencing, etc. what is life, but imagining, perceiving, and experiencing? so, in ways: you. are. dreaming.

"Never getting distracted by men again" does this mean you respect women? and you're going to respectfully look away from San?

You know the answer to this

I can't remember how much of this is implied canon or my own interpretation, but I fully believed that Chiron recognized Percy was a son of Poseidon from the fountain incident with Nancy Bobofit, knew that a child of the Big Three being claimed would be a total shit show, and simply chose not to say a word about it

Nothing will dispell the "the curtains were just blue" myth faster than writing something yourself, because the amount of pretentious symbolism i am putting in my silly little fanfics is ridiculous. I mean SO much with these words, literally every single one of them. This fic has twenty five typos and zero correct uses of punctuation but if there's curtains you bet your ass I put thought into what colour they were.

"wdym you're a man, you were born a girl and youll always be one" = general transphobia directed at a trans guy

"why would you want to be a man, all men are horrible" "clearly you only want to be a man so you arent oppressed anymore" "gender traitor" = transandrophobia

Real interactions with other types, from an INFJ:

[pangur-and-grim]

do you remember being too young to ask questions?? like your brain was too newly formed to arrange words in a way that adults would understand, so you couldn't always communicate?

I didn't know what cicadas were as a kid. it bothered me that occasionally a summer day would have this whining nasal background sound, that nobody paid attention to. and it was so LOUD! so I tried asking my mom, and she really struggled for a bit, and then said "oohhh....when you hear insects making sounds, it's just crickets."

BUT I KNEW WHAT CRICKETS WERE! these weren't crickets! so eventually I decided that only I could hear the cicadas, and that made me a little obsessed with them. whenever they started screaming, I would sit down all solemn and contemplate how insane I was for hearing this terrible thing.

then the next year, somebody told me what cicadas were, and I was like oh..........
