When dreams are coherent

[lathriel]

Had a dream last night in which a girl who was Essie but looked like the way I've always imagined one of my characters from my books said "Humans will never understand, because of the simple fact that they think they need to."
Damn you, Rational Thought... and all your limitations!

Now, I admit that I am no film critic. In fact I love all the movies the critics hate, my friends hate, film students hate. I value different things when I watch a movie I guess. But this movie... made me so uncomfortable and upset... it was the only thing that ever made me want to cry without being sad. I was SO CONFUSED... but in a good way... it was like drugs and poetry had a baby in a dream.
I got it in the end. And I admit, the idea wasn't entirely profound or even original. But the rest of it was... just f*@kin' good. The way it was filmed, the acting, the feelings it evoked... I may be easily impressed, I don't know. But this movie made me hurt with good confusion. Not many movies have made me explore a new feeling like that.

And, for any one who has never done drugs, there is a sequence in this movie where Ewan McGreggor enters his apartment repeatedly and the angle changes a little each time and the dialogue overlaps with changing perspectives... that is what drugs are like.

Your Power Color Is Teal

At Your Highest: You feel accomplished and optimistic about the future. At Your Lowest: You feel in a slump and lack creativity. In Love: You tend to be many people's ideal partner. How You're Attractive: You make people feel confident and accepted. Your Eternal Question: "What Impression Am I Giving?"

What's Your Power Color?

heh, yeah. I'm sure insecure. wait a minute... i make people feel confident and accepted... does that mean they think "DAMN I'm sure glad I'm not HER!"??? poop!

Clearly the online test knows you better than you do

Pretty freaky. It's wierd to get something, as you said, coherent from a dream. At least, for me... and then I try to remember it because it's, like, a message from God or something, even though it's always just pure gibberish. I guess that should tell you something about God...

So what does that mean, that the more we read into things, the further we complicate them away from the simple truth and what reasonably follows from what we can observe? Or am I, rather fittingly, investing too much thought into it?

Yup.

it's more like the fact that we'll never know certain things about life, the universe, and all that because we just can't comprehend it because of the way our minds work. We'll never understand the size or origin of life because it's not rational, and we're incapable of irrational thought.

Hey, thanks. Yeah, I am now officially responsible enough to indulge in any number of vices that, a mere three days ago, I was absolutely not responsible enough to partake of.

Though I'll be damned if I'm not going to rent that car anyway!!!!!

NO SUBJECT GOSH DARN IT ALL

The size/origin of life is nOT RATIONAL? How so?

I wouldn't go so far as to say humans are incapable of irrational thought...

Aww, phooey, I know what you meant.

Darn it all Maddie, the Human mind is the most advanced product of all Creation. How dare you suggest that it is somehow flawed or limited in certain capacities.
