Oblique attack

I had a dream last night that I was part of a huge crowd in a field that stretched to the horizon, and as we watched, giant round metal doors opened up, throwing the dirt and plants aside, and huge missles, hundreds of them, were launched.

The crowds cheered and danced but I felt the opposite because I knew (in my dream) that these bombs were so huge they would damage the entire planet.

Dreams are usually about processing the things you've encountered during the day. So was that dream triggered by who is currently in the White House?

Or was it because I learned that REM member Peter Buck owns the Crocodile Cafe in Seattle?

"It's the end of the world as we know it... and I feel fine..."

It's fear!!! Nowadays everybody is little by little driving mad because of the constant thoughts about accidents, wars, deaths, happening here and there!!! It’s awful!!! Every time I fly somewhere, I still tremble with fear, because I don’t know what it’s happening next minute!!! Especially recently I’ve suffered a great deal, flying to the Emirates!!! Something happened with the plane and a crazy man cried out that it’s a bomb!!! I even couldn’t come to myself even in the Dubai hotel we stayed in. That night I remember was killed several times in the dream! I couldn't sleep and was bitterly crying!!! But later on, I understood that this way I may become mad and began admiring the beauty of the world!!! If we still exist, we should delight every day!!! We live one time!!! :)
 
It sounds like fear; I agree. And, like control, it plays a HUGE role in everyone lives! We find defense mechanisms to ward it off, and suddenly we're speaking to psychologists about our mother, bad relationships, and the oncoming doom of society. There is no escape!

And yet, is fear merely a dream? A figment of our mind?

How often do we play these silly games within our head to keep everything at bay? We try so very hard to keep our life inside this little box - and fight damn hard to not deal with sudden and unexpected change. When change is the obvious. It is bold. It is everyday.

Like time and space, my friend, control and fear follow that same dance...

How do you wish to dance with it, is the question.
