Dream Job

August 21st 

So yesterday I had a dream wherein I found myself working with a company on some big project. I held the companies financial psychologist's position, whereas another young guy who was around my age held a different, equally important position. I feel as though we were interns or something, but I honestly don't know. Both of us had the purpose of advising the company heads in the direction that they should move to increase profits. "As all services and commodities are seasonal due to psychological and environmental reasons," my boss surmised. My job was to know what season we were in so that we could best reach potential customers with our variety of products. We were the youngest on the team, and my boss knew everything that I knew, so I found myself questioning why I was even there. He had the other young guy and me seated just behind him while the other executives sat in front of him at his table. I felt honored and extremely out of place at the same time.

The dream took a strange turn after this; I found myself in a bathroom after a phone call with a friend of mine. It was here while sitting still that I realized I was dreaming. I found clarity because it didn't feel like a dream; I felt awake. I got up and walked towards a mirror and realized, "I'm dreaming," a fact I could not deny when I saw that I didn't have a reflection.

So here I was, lucid while asleep. What should I do? I stepped out of the bathroom and walked down the hall back towards my boss's office. Something was different, and it wasn't just me. When I stepped into his office, it seemed as if my whole center of gravity shifted. Suddenly I was forced flat to the ground, crawling as if scaling a mighty mountain. I felt like I was wrestling with something in a way I can't describe, but there was no way I intended to lose. The world rocked and swayed at my rebellion, but I held on and pushed back until the world finally submitted. All the while, not a soul seemed to notice me anymore. So with my dream now in my hands, I decided to leave; why waste my time working when I could be having fun? I hurled myself through the glass window at my boss's back and headed to the edge of the property. A river flowed out so beautifully nearby, of course, I was gonna go and fly over it. A disembodied voice said, "wait till the leaves are carried by the wind and then go," and so I did. It didn't take long, but it was worth the wait. It was the most fun dream I've had in a while; flying was amazing, conjuring walls of ice and carving them into castles, constructing bridges or cliffs; it all felt so awesome. When I finally finished, I closed my eyes and could feel my real arms crossed over my chest, then I opened my eyes, and I was awake. This dream was pretty long but fun, and I actually skipped a lot of details. 

As a person who is always daydreaming, I am always mere seconds away from adventures such as this. However, at the end of the day, it is only just a dream and I have to wake up at some point, 

just not yet.

    Brilliant. I find your ability to put images into words incredible. “Wait till the leaves are carried by the wind then go”. What an incredible mind to be able to conjure such beautiful images within one’s dream. I love it

Preferred Prey

Photo by Dan Dennis on Unsplash December 4, 2020 In this dream, I was watching a tv show. A were-cat (not to be confused with a werewolf) was living on his own in a post-apocalyptic world. I shall call him "Prey." As he walked, he found himself upon an elevated plain where another were-cat appeared that I shall call "Hunter."  Hunter saw Prey, and both men responded to each other by shifting from human form into a semi-human form with long tails and spotted fur, like cheetahs or jaguars. A 70mph chase ensued across the plateau with Hunter in hot pursuit. Because both were running at the same speed, this was not a chase that would end quickly.  Both men had limited stamina, just like actual big cats. Eventually, the chase came to an end when their energy ran out. Hunter proposed a truce because they found themselves surrounded by trees (bear territory) and it would be safer if they stuck together. Both agreed to this plan, and they began journeying out of the fores...

Does Knowledge Puffeth Up?

Biblical Hermeneutics Why one might ask, is hermeneutics important? Have you ever heard the saying that knowledge puffeth up? It comes from 1 Corinthians 8:1 wherein which I have often heard it said to me as a form of discouragement due to my love of research and knowledge. The reason proposed is that knowledge makes you prideful; thus, knowledge is a dangerous pursuit for those not pastors. This idea is not only far from what Paul was trying to say, but it also contradicts statements like what is written in Hebrews 5:11-14. 1 Corinthians 8:1-13 "Knowledge puffs up, and love edifies" is best understood when read in its entirety and in comparison with "Acts 15:20; "Abstain from things contaminated by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood" which was written to Gentile believers and is the 4 rules that they had been given instead of being given the law as Jewish believers had insisted at the time. 1 Corinthians 8:1-13 is ...

Phoenix Down

Photo by Caleb Fisher on Unsplash   July 14th The day after I released a post contemplating my place as a writer at the crossroads of life, this dream came to me. And with this post, I have made my decision. First, let me tell you about the dream. The dream took place around what appeared to be a public office on a cloudy night. It looked like a smaller version of the Lincoln monument building with a big cobblestone courtyard and walls that squared around it. A crowd had gathered in front of a man seated on a chair in front of a big building and between its pillars. The man had eyes white with blindness and could best be described as the king from the animated movie Atlantis. The people appeared to have gathered for an election, but I am not sure. Some among the crowd seemed to think that this older man was unfit to lead them into the future and sought to retire him, even by force, if they deemed it necessary. Stepping out from the crowd was a group of folks, ready to introduce ch...
