SO when we say a person is "living in the past" that is literally true according to their brain chemistry.

I followed the "You never felt that you did anything wrong" line of thought. Because your dreams are never about you doing anything bad, the thought does not linger in your subconscious anywhere...so by what we can see, you never have this thought at all. I would like to make note, however, that Freud makes the claim that the thoughts that rule our dreamscape are those that are neither already in our subconscious or actively at the forefront of our minds when we fall asleep. Instead, the things that build our dreams are the thought that are put on the metaphorical back burner of our mind.
Well I think that I clarified that and I believe I also clarified what I mean by "someone's reality" as well. My reality is that I have PTSD and I deal with working through that every day. And you have your realities as well, and it looks like your realities medkev are a real challenge as well (and I am sorry for your struggles).

While I would love to "pretend" I don't have PTSD and other problems in my life, that would not be "the reality of "me"". My other realities involve being abused "something that I seem to need to work through again with the way PTSD seems to bring it all back" And that is not a perception or anything other than the "reality" of what people with PTSD can experience. And many who have PTSD have severe "trust" issues that are well founded.

If we are to consider other "realities that are there for ALL of us"like the earth not being flat and that the economy is troubled and there are a lot of bad things taking place all over the world right now, that is different. But none of us know the totalities of each other's individual realities.

Apparently George's reality, that he realized later in his own thread, is that a doctor was concerned that some marks on his scalp "could" be cancerous. That is not "everyone's" reality, I don't have that, do you?

I am honestly surprised at the other issues that have presented just by my simply taking a guess at someone's dream and what it "may" mean. It has been somewhat distrubing actually, well beyond a simple dream.

Although I noticed that you seem to be good at that medkev and Perna is really good at looking at dreams and seeing how they could be a part of the real things we have experienced. Reality in and of itself doesn't represent something "bad"all the time either.

Geez, I am sorry that I offered up my idea of what it "could" have meant.
