It was not scaring, but I woke in the middle of the night with a distressing thought. Thought may not be the right word to describe something blurred and imprecise like I felt during that
dream. It seemed that some dangerous situation was about to happen, not to me specifically, but to the world in general. Already awaken, or almost, my
mind start dealing with the unpleasant feeling I had experimented. Well, the whole thing was about death, even worst, it seemed the end of everthing I had known.
Once I read in some text that if you are mortal so you are dead. And, in that precise moment, that was my state of mind. Life seemed meaningless unless I could be immortal. When we are perfectly aware it is
possible to accept the very limits of life without much effort. Many of us say to be not fearful of death, atmost we only fear the pain related to the process of dying. If there’s no pain there’s nothing to be feared in just disappearing. But, what I experienced in that dream is the feeling, deep
inside me, denying such docile acceptance. For that unconscious being inside me, it’s not possible to receive death peacefully.
Dreams are one, maybe the only one, window to the unconscious part of ourselves and, when we look at inside, it’s possible to know how linked to life our deep soul is. I don’t think dreams explain to much about
human personality and possible mental illnesses, but it’s undeniable to see dreams like expressing facts of our hidden psychology. For some reasons I think human mind are similar to an iceberg, thus we can see only a ninth of its real height. In this very moment I do not know what are the several readings of my physiological parameters, like arterial pressure and concentrations of many electrolytes in my blood, but my mind knows it all. And know in more complete way than it’s possible using modern equipment. Human mind can know if someone has a non symptomatic cancer much earlier than some scanner may detect it, but this knowledge is not allowed to reach the conscious side of mind. In silence, the whole
body tries to avert the menace while the protagonist is living a normal life. I have heard that the start of a cancer is not a rare episode for anyone of us, but in the vast majority of the situations the menace is fight off. It could be very useful to have informations like that and doctors would be not so important in finding the disease’s causes, although still very important in curing it. Nonetheless natural evolution of human beings didn‘t foresaw the fact that in the future human could produce the science of medicine.
On the other hand, to be aware of so many things going on inside one’s body, would be very demanding to our consciousness. Imagine to have frequent news about all the cancers that starts inside the body, let alone many of the endless list of ailments human beings may be suffer from. I don’t give to much importance to dreams and its interpretation, because it’s apparent messy structure. We should not trust the clues dreams open to us without a lot of criticism.
Mainly when one try to foresee the future inspired in dreams, this is fore sure a hoax.
