thoughts on "metaphor"
People tend to think that something being "metaphorical" (like furry/kin identity, or mysticism stuff, or lots of other things) makes it less real.
That's kind of deeply missing the point. Our brains are *entirely* metaphorical. Our perception of the world passes through billions of years of evolutionary processing and filtering, and is only tenuously connected to a deeper fundamental truth. Approximations are all we have.
Safe space talk
So... Safe spaces. This sort of thing has been on my mind for a long time. I remember an experience I had around a year ago with a chat server that ended up being a very bad fit for me. This server was protecting extremely vulnerable, harmed people. There were triggers relating to affection and love that needed to be carefully handled.
not-good dreams
OH AND ALSO I dreamed that my father showed up and wanted to talk to me, and I tried to avoid him, then finally said "If you want to talk then let's talk, but I'm going first and you're not going to like what I have to say." we went off somewhere to talk and I got distracted by stuff in the background and that part ended. :|
not-good dreams + food
also had the usual "everybody else is having delicious cupcakes which I CANNOT EAT, it's okay I'll just sit here and have this squashed, cardboard-like, flavorless flax muffin" dream. it doesn't bother me in waking life (much) (any more), why does it come up SO DAMN OFTEN in dreams?? >___<
not-good dreams
so then I was trying to repair the holes with duct tape, then gave it up and asked somebody to go to a vet/pet store for me and get a carrier while I walked around holding Nar in my arms, who was uncharacteristically non-struggly.
not really bad dreams, not nightmares, just... not good. hey subconscious, WTF. JUST TELL ME WTF.
not-good dreams
then there was the dream that I was packing up from a weekend out somewhere, and everything was going fine until I realized I'd lost the cat carrier to bring Nar home (why the HELL I was out weekending somewhere WITH NAR, I have no idea), so I tried to put him in a really big, empty bleach container--I'd washed it out, but it still had strong fumes, and he was gasping, so I started cutting holes in it, but he got out through them.
not-good dreams
ugh--unsettling dreams last night; one, where I was in a really big (battleship?) boat, idling at harbor, when a series of +100 ft waves started coming in. then riding the boat on the crest of the waves, helplessly watching them wash over and destroy the city below me. I was fine, but couldn't do anything to help the people below...
When you get to Heaven, the first thing St Peter asks you is "My child, did you actually finish all the games you bought in Steam and GOG sales?"
When you hang your head in shame he quietly adds "did you even START any of them?"
This time you cannot even look up.
"Then, my child, your time has not yet come. Go back and complete what you were sent to the Earth to accomplish."
Long story short, we quickly abolished nuclear war as useless, but nobody's sure if Proteus actually counts as a game.
