I had a strange dream a few weeks ago where I believe I had experienced my own death. It was interesting to say the least. I haven’t felt quite the same since.
A few weeks later, without any prompting, a friend of mine had a disturbing dream where he also saw my death - or at least a deep loss and shedding of someone who I once was. I haven’t seen him in weeks and hadn’t told him about my dream. I don’t know where his dream could have came from at the timing which it did. He’s also one of my more emotionally intelligent and universally tuned friends, so it’s a bit of a shocker. After all, I will emphasize that I am in good health and good spirits.
I responded to this strange turn of events by going on some decently risky adventures, yet, I continue to live. Or at least, I appear to be alive.
The subconscious, serendipity, coincidence, spirituality, religion, luck, whatever - are just such fascinating ideas. What is fact and what is fiction? What is the source of our ideas and experiences?
I don’t know if I’m in a position to share any last words … nor do I want to or think it’s necessary. But I will say that if you know me personally, one trait about me is that I am always smiling around other people. As soon as people start talking to me at all, I just start smiling because I genuinely do enjoy others, details about their life, joking with them, and their stories. I like to deeply engage. I’m like a child sometimes.
For the record, I was never forcing this and it’s not just a personality trait. I deeply admire other people and enjoy them as they are. The people in my life have always made this easy as they are all so special to begin with. I think I just tune in more than other people would in my interactions to actually appreciate them and what they have to say. I am most grateful for the social experiences and relationships I have had in my life. The second most important thing has been being given the opportunity to create and then create more.
If the universe is listening, I would like to keep living, if that’s cool. I still have to find out how Severance Season 3 and the whole series will end. Thx.
This hits home for me. Genuine social interactions are more important in an increasingly distracted world.
