Each day we wake up and can either have intimate or aggravated moments with ourselves. You either force yourself out of bed because of the following activity coming ahead, take a moment to be present and thank yourself, stress about something in the past or in the future, or merely be still, etc…
We all wake up so differently — with moments and thoughts we can’t really explain to another human. Waking up from participating in another realm (with little to no freedom of our actions) deeply affects us when we wake up. Our dreams feel so close to us, yet we have been taught that “dreams mean nothing.”
Do dreams mean nothing? I don’t really know. When we have those scary dreams we tell ourselves that. But then when we have impactful dreams that shake our reality, we agree dreams mean something. Whether a deceased loved one visits you, a fear of yours arises and you are able to defeat it, or you simply have a beautiful dream that brings you joy when you open your eyes…Everything in every possible way affects us. A weird look from a stranger could make one spiral into a “what the fuck was that?”
Those early moments of sinking into our conscious state, then moving along to work, going out to dinner or drinks with friends, laying in a park, ordering food — it’s like we live two lives; one for ourselves and one for others.
