This dream had to be in my top five that I've ever experienced! It really changed the way I think about our decisions and how important it is to take notice of what media and entertainment we consume. It's so easy to find ourselves in a "bubble" and have our reality clouded by media/entertainment. We were taking notice of all of the top Netflix series/films and every last one of them were horrifically violent. Our culture is saturated by depictions of violence and hedonistic behavior and that has to "leave a mark" on us in some way.

I've always been open to the possibility that our accepted "reality" is only a tiny sliver of what consciousness actually is. At best, our evolution and knowledge of how powerful we really are has been suppressed as a means to control us.

How incredible you're dreaming about your son! I'm sure that brings great comfort to you and if you believe in the omnipresence of the soul that really could be him paying you visits in your dreams. I dream about my dad quite a bit.
