About this blog


As I get older, I find myself still, more or less, completely baffled about how to interface effectively with broader human society. What I'm observing from my perspective is that these interfaces exist as essentially shared dreams between us individual dreamers.

The effectiveness of these interfaces depends on both the cohesiveness of our interpersonal interactions, the roles we play in these shared dreams, and also how each shared dream interfaces with the next broader dream. I also observe that this happens in a similar way to how individuals interface with each other in the first layer of shared dreams, although the interfaces are very different and often involve cultural and legal structures.

In my personal individual dreams, I have mostly created reference points within my own dreams. I think this has allowed me to create my own dreams with an (objectively) illusory reality that I'm working with that's vaguely similar to a slice of to the reality we're all dealing with. And I've continued to live this way because it seems manageable and more pleasant than leaving more aspects of my life up to the whims of the larger dreams of my communities.

Now, the more I am able to examine broader reality, and as I get older, meditate, and think about things like what I really am in this world, I'm searching for some coherent understanding of how to function in peace. How to peacefully interact with the other shared dreams maintained by other individual dreamers out there.

I assume everyone does this kind of self-referential dreaming on some level. My theory is that there's a pretty vast range of willingness to attend to it, however.

I figure one way to make myself visible in the larger dreams that we share is via writing. This feels like the best method I have of communicating and interfacing with other individual dreamers and aspects of the dreams themselves. Things like paperwork involve interfacing with the individual dreamers that make them up, but the process that the paperwork passes through is within the boundaries of the shared dream the organization exists to sustain. Organizations often offer their preferred interfaces designed for your convenience (or not), but the interfaces of the individual dreamers keeping that organizations dream alive are what I am interested in.

So I'm just going to start writing about the dreams that I see. I'm hoping that it will resonate with others, whether we end up communicating or not, and maybe I can find a way to create more peace and understanding in this complex network of dreams that seem to make up just about the entirety of modern human existence, from what I can tell.
