To experience conflicts knowingly, though it may be distressing, can be an invaluable asset. The more we face our own conflicts and seek out our own solutions, the more inner freedom and strength we will gain. Only when we are willing to bear the brunt can we approximate the ideal of being the captain of our ship. A spurious tranquillity rooted in inner dullness is anything but enviable. It is bound to make us weak and an easy prey to any kind of influence. — Karen Horney M.D., Our Inner Conflicts: A Constructive Theory of Neurosis (1945)

*****

I’m not big on Persuasion but I prefer the 2007 version myself. Then 1995. I’m not sure where to place 2022 - I enjoyed it (yes, I know) but it's different.

I had a dream last night that the Queen had faked her death and was stuck in her coffin, fuming, because she’d missed her one window to sneak out and was unable to perform a spell that would restore her youth. She was telepathically telling Andrew that he had to dig her up after her funeral but then she lost patience and just burst from her coffin in the middle of her televised funeral mass.

Charles then explained that she was going to perform a ritual that was not aimed at making her body younger but allowing her to possess a younger body, and the SAS had to stop her. So the SAS and Rupert Penry-Jones from “Spooks” tried to stop her and we learned she was going to possess Kate and Lilibet said, “Don’t let granny fuck our dad!” and I thought, “William is not her dad, he’s her uncle. She blew her line. We’ll have to re-shoot this scene,” but one of the Queen’s former corgis that had been adopted by Kate sabotaged the spell and apparently killed the Queen... Only I saw Meghan’s eyes glowing green ever so briefly and I realized that the Queen jumped into her body instead of Kate’s and no one but me knew.

Then I woke up.
