dream life

 

That is a remarkably vivid and symbolic dream. Dreams that carry such high narrative intensity often reflect how our subconscious processes themes of identity, integrity, clarity of vision, and alienation from surrounding social or moral structures.

Here is a breakdown of the core psychological and archetypal motifs running through your dream:

1. Vision vs. Blindness ("In the kingdom of the blind...")

The central contrast in your dream is between your "special instruction" eyesight and the collective blindness of the convention.

• The Blind Convention: In dreams, blindness among a crowd typically signifies ignorance, conformity, or a lack of self-awareness. It represents a system where people are trapped in rigid, self-destructive patterns without realizing they are trapped.
• Your Sight: Possessing clarity when everyone else lacks it highlights a feeling of personal awakening. You perceive the underlying reality and the "ideologies" for what they really are, while others merely act out scripted roles.

2. The Covert Hitman Without Violence

The role of a "covert hitman" who chooses not to kill is a powerful archetype:

• Usually, a hitman represents decisive, lethal agency. But here, your weapon isn't physical destruction—it's observation, presence, and moral distinction.
• You aren't participating in their self-destructive cycles; your mere presence stands outside the hierarchy. It suggests you recognize power in yourself, but define that power by restraint and ethical superiority rather than participating in the games others play.

3. Exposing Artifice & Proving the Divine

• The Mafia as Illusion: Recognizing that the corrupt organization is fundamentally an illusion—lacking true self-awareness and self-sufficiency—points to a realization that dogmatic systems and toxic egos often project immense authority, yet are internally hollow and fragile.
• The Spiritual Mission: Bringing order, truth, or divine reality into a room defined by corruption and estrangement suggests a strong internal drive toward higher principles, authenticity, and rectifying hypocrisy.

A Grounded Reflection

It’s completely natural to wake up from an intense, cinematic dream like this feeling a surge of resolve and personal empowerment. Dreams often dramatize our feelings about the waking world—especially moments where you might feel fundamentally different from the crowds, social circles, or systems around you.

The key to integrating a dream like this in waking life is channeling that feeling of clarity into grounded, everyday integrity:

• Recognizing false posturing or hypocrisy in the world around you without letting it alienate you from real, positive human connections.
• Standing firmly in your own moral code without needing to constantly measure yourself against the shortcomings of others.

Did a particular situation or dynamic in your waking life recently make you feel like you were observing an "illusion" or navigating a group of people who couldn't see what was right in front of them?

The property of dreams

 Weather is a sacred thing, in fact I dream about the weather.  Not what it is going to be, not what I wish it to be, not what I want it to be or falsely predict it.  I find the notion absurd.

My rejection of the weather is far more common a feeling.  The weather cannot reject me nor can it be rejected.  That is a secret behind weather, much like dreams, is unpredictable. . . especially if it is ironic or neurotically charged.  When you think about something, when did it occur to you that logic intensified your meaning behind it - if you gave it instruction yourself.

I write much the same way my imagination applies to it.

This exercise is one I continually renew.  My very real ability to perform a dream life into my writing.  I have no idea where it comes from, I simply write based on how I feel given the weather of my minds eye forecasting it.  Words are a liberating thing that way. 

So I prefer to use it as a powerful metaphor in movement, my writing habits create movement, something my mind can attach itself to but has no regrets nor escape the guilt I have when doing it.  My words are not used to escape judgment or understanding of clarity - they simply require expectations of a pragmatic nature.

I have read some of the most boring words ever written without really considering them, and this is why I write the way I do.  Because I appear to make life far more interesting than it actually is.

There is such a thing as causation.

There is such a thing as phobia.

I stand on this moral high ground pretending to exist.

And yet by the end of this narrative it all makes perfect sense, just by the way it sounds. 

That is the property of dreams.  They are a product of your unconscious self.  Much like words. 

I train myself to escape guilt and judgment, it is the only place I can go without being made to vomit.  It is how I maneuver through time and space combatting the evil cradles of justice.  And by that I mean - romance - is the only way to find your way back.  Back to the place your journey began, before you failed to realize this is all just a dream.

I love that word.

Romance.

I love it.

And yet I came here to prove it by saying nothing at all. 

I might be onto something.

Marco Almeida - 2013 "I train myself to escape guilt and judgment, it is the only place I can go without being made to vomit." Marco Almeida - 2013 The difference here is my practice in writing does not escape from guilt or judgment, I trade that reality in the way I project myself in real life, in other words the ACT of writing is an escapist act from both guilt and/or judgment.

So yeah - the property of dreams. . . romance. A wonderful concept to pursue.
