Living Without Dreams
if you come to believe that the future holds a certain future for you, you are dreaming. if you are dreaming you have a lot of control on how the dream turns out. symbols become a major player here. events that effect you can be configured to fit into your 'i'm like this and so it only makes sense' or 'i expected to be confronted with such experience on my way to this' dreams. you are a person that thinks that all things happen for a reason. most of the time everything will seem marvelous to you since everything that seems to happen seems to deal with you. however you are also seeing the world through a slightly to massively altered view. one can know this and still decide to choose to live this way. it's a nice way to live. most of the time things are fine. and you may even become very successful. but there will be times in your life or maybe only one time at which point you'll die, when your dreams fail you and you fail to make connections with the events that are effecting you and reality comes up to look into your wet eyes and grin.
if you are living without dreams you may think that it is just fine that the scientific community has just found a way to get mammals to reproduce cells that have gone dormant in their aural zones. you do not think 'well that guy is deaf for a reason, and if we just fix it up and just fix up all of our problems, then, isn't there something wrong with that. are we not living according to how god would want us to. are we fixing people up who should have died. does it hurt the natural karma that these people repeat actions that are unnatural and then unnaturally fix themselves.' you think 'here's a problem. look! this is how we can fix it.' this isn't just a scientist. many scientists would have a very dreamlike view to what they discover and how they are perceived and how they expect to be perceived. what it is is taking a scientific view of every second of life, confronting the mysteries of life with the appropriate amount of fear and awe and accepting responsibility for that which used to be able to be explained away. dreams can sustain you and keep you from dying. living without dreams really sucks a whole lot.

You totally made me laugh with this. Thanks. One minute, my head is spinning and I'm wondring if I actually can make sense out of what you are saying, and the next, I laugh out loud. That is good.
I almost felt like you were doing a psychic reading of me.
I wanted to tell you something. Jamie Fox, when he played Ray Charles in the movie Ray, had to wear prosthetic eyes covering his own. The director wouldn't let him take them off during the day. He wore them 14 hours a day, meaning that he couldn't see most of his waking hours for several months. He said that he wanted to tear them off. He felt trapped with those prosthetic eyes as a blindfold. But he gained something from doing it.

good. i'm glad you laughed.
know this: although it sounds like it, i'm not telling things, i'm hypothisizing and then carrying them out the way my logic dictates they would have to be. i look back at them after i type them and after noticing that i haven't written them very clearly i notice that they are obviously not definitive. i like to think of this process as a stepping stone towards writing a utopia. not coincidentally, i'm reading waldon 2.

I've always felt really sorry for people who don't remember their dreams, or people who insist they never dream. How can that be possible? It makes me want to quickly touch them to confirm if they are real. Maybe they were humanoid androids sent to earth so many generations ago they have forgotten they aren't human. It's like people who aren't ticklish. How can you not be ticklish? Do you not feel anything, human?
Anyway I tend to get a lot of premonitions and they come true. So that makes me wonder if before we are born we have already decided on our path and the lessons we will learn in this life. That deep down we already know what is going to happen. This sufficiently covers deja-vu for me, which happens to me almost every day too.
I have also found that if I really want something and concentrate on it hard, affirmations and such, eventually it comes true. Almost like energy all working together until everything clicks into place. It's like a mixture of premonitions and dreams all together.
