I had a dream recently where I was guiding a civilisation over multiple thousands of years. Att the end of the dream when they had finally overcome their problems, one of them said to me ‘being a person, when really you’re just a blob of goo, is the most profound thing you could ever do.’
And it hit me so hard. All I am is a bunch of cells held together in a skin bag. And yet I’m a person with feelings and experiences and desires. And I did that, I live it. It makes us all so valuable.
Have your dreams ever had effects on you like that?
Do you keep a dream-journal or something, how long are your dreams?
Yes, but I don’t often write in it. I’d be up all night writing.
I tend to have very vivid dreams, sometimes lucid, and they seem to last for a long time. I’ll often wake up exhausted from dreaming.
