Dream, Reality, Conscience, and Digital. The current worlds I seem to live in.

I love dreaming. The unpredictability of dreams is what makes me so fond of them. Sometimes I wake up from a dream and can barely remember what I saw, and when I try to recall how I experienced it the small details slip away. I know what happened but not being able to recall the small details makes them sound even more bizarre than what it actually is when I record them or tell someone about what I saw. And I wonder can a person without sight, dream the same? Or do they dream in audio? Side questions; I have a lot of those. Let me give that a name…”Go fetch”. 

...

Reality. What actually exists. Me typing into my MacBook air at 9 pm on a Saturday night, is what currently exists as I think about how to describe the reality I have been living in for the last 21 years of my life. Something that I haven’t allowed myself to do fully. I think it’s the product of 3-4 months of unemployment. Fortunately, as torturous as that was, in the beginning, it has opened my eyes to how I can control my reality and not let it control me.

...

The relationship that I have with the voices inside my head… Work in progress. I am definitely, almost always, at more than 2 places at a time when you ask about my conscience. At least that is what it feels like when I am not focused on the outside world and my inside world. It’s like reading pages on a book, and by the end of the page, you realize you don’t recall anything from what you just read because your inner voice was speaking while you were trying to read. In order to read well, you need all inner and outer attention on the words you are processing in order to comprehend whats going on.

...

How do I feel about the digital space???  Always consuming from all social platforms can make me feel unappeased. Like gluttony but with digital content. The internet and social platforms are powerful tools that I am blessed to be able to use for learning about any topic I can imagen and more. Being that I have started to have an interest in the technology field, I definitely want to learn more by participating. I often get shy in digital spaces. As annoying as it is admitting it, I fear being judged. Mostly, I fear being judged by the people who “know me”. That is the first step. Recognizing that fear to move forward. I am sure that behind that fear there is a better opportunity for me to learn about myself, and be part of a community. Lol imagen having “haters”. Imagen having “fans” of my work. I guess it is needed for any brand. I always encourage anyone who may be delaying their dreams, (due to the fears of others) to go after what they want regardless of what anyone has to say. Now its time that I encourage myself. It is only right.

How do you experience these worlds? 👩🏽‍💻🙇🏽‍♀️

I dreamed I was a butterfly, flying in the sky; then I awoke. Now I wonder, am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?
