Your dreams and imagination evolved as a view into another universe. As with the current beliefs, you cannot decipher technical information – no words in books, no details of how devices work, so even if you can describe things you see from another place, you could not reproduce a working version.
Now how do you convince others that the things your are seeing are really happening without being labeled insane? And how could you use this information to benefit yourself or others? Take a peek into the multiverse to see how other versions of yourself have solved these problems…
Existential cocktease is one of the best phrases ever coined, and exactly the phrase I have needed for years to explain many of my dreams. I don’t fall in love. Like, I’ve dated, and had a few relationships, but I’ve never really connected with a person in a romantic way. I love my family deeply, in a non romantic way, so I know I’m capable. But I just have never had that with a romantic partner.
But I routinely do in dreams. Several times a year, I’ll have a dream where I fall deeply in love someone. And then I wake up, and I’m depressed for days thinking about it. It’s an existential cocktease.
Thank you for giving me the language to describe that.
