Reminds me of perseverence porn, and that it's BS.
I loved this submission, Runa. I found the dream captivating. It's interesting that such an involved dream had such a simple message. I suspect many dreams are that way. Our minds make things so complicated sometimes.
I think you'll enjoy this piece I wrote in September. There are some common themes with your present story. https://medium.com/queen-s-children/answers-you-seek-often-found-both-within-and-without-you-and-with-a-little-help-from-your-friends-70c669fdda37
I look forward to more submissions from you.
