A Nervous Tic Motion of the Head to the Left

I'm trying to remember the other dream that I had last night. It was another one that was weird, but the theme made complete sense and it had perfect relevance to my life, and well humanity in general.

I don't remember the beginning very well, so it may jump around a bit.

I woke up in a white room, some people were on one side of the room, and some other people were on the other. They were just people, not really talking, but just sort of looking around like they had no idea where they were or why they were there. But I knew exactly where I was. It was a meeting room between parallel dimensions. There was sort of a universal law that I was in charge in my dimension, and then there was this man who was in charge of the other. He was fairly good-looking, but I wasn't in love with him or anything. We were talking about the worlds we were from, and everyone was starting to surround us, listening. Everything was different between the worlds, except for one thing...the universal theme of racism. There was a specific quote that I still remember waking up with. "We have the same problem, we just pretend that everything's fine."

In the other dimension, let's call it D2, they were so open about the racial hatred, it was frightening. But maybe here its worse. Socially, we pretend that differences in looks don't matter to us, but just honestly think of the last time you thought about how different someone looked. It's not always in the bad way, like racism is, but still, we all look different, and sometimes it's hard to ignore those differences.

My dreams make me think about some weird stuff, but overall, they're very eye-opening. Things happen that could never happen in this lifetime, but all of it finds a way to bring a theme or a message into it.

It's almost like I'm saying that because it makes no sense, it makes absolute perfect sense...

If that makes sense.. :D

That makes a lot of sense, Mal.

We *do* just ignore things, pretend they're fine, until in impoldes in our faces.

And that other post you put up and deleted (it was in my reading list still)? I'm here for you, you know that right?
