Today so far has been one of those days where my mind behaves like it's separate from my body.I'm sure my face would still have all my expressions but I'm not sure people looking can interpret what I'm thinking. I awoke from this highly strange dream. It was like walking through my own mind and realising what my subconscious thinks. One of the many things I realized is that there are certain places I have tagged to certain people. Revisiting those places in my dreams automatically brings those people to life in those dreams. My thoughts may not be in relation to those people, but somehow their faces and personalities are projected into the dream. Funny thing is most of these people I have left behind in my past. Some of them I still carry along but they are now not what they were to me back then. When I revisit a familiar place in my dreams,for example high school, the dream may simply be about a problem I have in reality,in one way or another, the people in high school who were my friends and those who weren't still seem to play the same roles, even though in reality we may not be friends anymore. This time this dream was a little different. I stepped into my former classroom wearing the same high school uniform and in my mind I expected the people in the classroom to behave a certain way,the usual way it was. One particular person did not conform to my expectations. At first I wasn't sure what was going on. After a few minutes I realized that we don't relate the same way as we used to in high school, so why should this person behave as I expected. My mind brought in the present to that familiar place in the past and applied it. For those few minutes of confusion,I felt like an astral projection of myself watching the past and present merged into one. It was weird. I wasn't sure how to relate to that particular person because I had never met with this alternate reality before and especially not in high school.
Anyway,when I woke up, I started wondering how I would be projected in other people's dreams. Only very few people got to know me intricately and sincerely I have come to understand that doing that is a very difficult thing. So I wonder if anyone has experienced this sort of thing and one with me in it :D. It was like my mind was "editing" or "updating" the present into the past. I find it very fascinating ,a little bizarre at first but fascinating :). I also wonder what would happen if we were all somehow thrown back into the same old classroom for something close to being a teaching session. I'm almost certain that without realising it we would all take those same roles again. It would take a matured, observing mind to consciously break free from assuming the same roles automatically. It's interesting how strong the mind is and how very little things affect the mind, in turn affecting behavior. Dreams are all a projection of thoughts,experiences and visual stimuli the mind has processed, of course with some exceptions.
