Hilarious Comic on How We Treat Dreams
August 27th, 2008 · No Comments
Came across this one awhile ago… Wish I could remember where now. But it still cracks me up! And it makes the point so well too… how can we be taught to so flippantly ignore or devalue a huge portion of our inner experience? Should we continue to let the uninformed beliefs of society about [...]

It is really a direct parallel to waking life. Is waking life ’something that happens to you while you’re making other plans’? Or are you [...]
