Dreams

Dreams are perceptual temper tantrums, in which you literally scream, "I want it thus!"

And thus it seems to be. And yet the dream cannot escape its origin.

Anger and fear pervade it, and in an instant the illusion of satisfaction is invaded by the illusion of terror.

For the dream of your ability to control reality by substituting a world that you prefer is terrifying.

Your attempts to blot out reality are very fearful, but this you are not willing to accept.

And so you substitute the fantasy that reality is fearful, not what you would do to it.

And thus is guilt made real.
