GC, amazing self-analysis. I, too, wish I could coast through life uncaring. Quite often I'll catch myself doing just that. I think I go through phases. Years ago I was one big ball of rage when it came to politics. It consumed me. There is something to be said for letting go and enjoying your little slice of life, be it in the suburbs or the big city.

So yes, ask questions and rail against evil, but I'd keep that "Bush" side of yourself around. Some days are for backyard barbecues on Suburb Street without a care in the world. :cheers:

I have a few views on dream interpretation, and many times I have followed the the style of interpretation that € has given, and find that largely it is true. Sometimes, my mind tries to work out something from the past, and that's not always apparent, because it's a new cast of characters. It's often resolving the conflict within that's a theme in my dreams. Feelings of helplessness, feelings of triumph. My mind separates these people that are within me, and organizes things... Or at least that's the feeling that I get.

Typically, if I tell someone about my dream, even if it's a little scintillating, it's usually oohs and aahs, but a true interpretation probably has more to do with connectivity. Usually the right interpretation rings so true it almost hurts.

For the record I dreamt nothing last night. Nothing!
:D

(Of course, I did, but I don't remember it...)

Definately - My first experience with this type of interpretation was from my "internal" communications professor, who disected a dream of mine that felt like a mental rape by the time we were done. But then, this is the reason we sometimes dream things - to present these unpleasent aspects or conflicts within oursleves into an allegorical form, more easily accepted by our controlling "ego" consciousness.
