Never let a blind man drive your car, even in a dream.

I would have said something, but his comment above actually made me smile and think that it was almost approriate in a thread like this. 🕶

In fact, yes. Everyone did.

I bought my dad a ceramic something resembling the Ten Commandments Tablets, with the Ten Commandments written on it. I thought it would make a nice present, especially because I had nothing else in mind.
When I unwrapped the ceramic thingy to look at it, I accidentally dropped it and it broke in two pieces. At first I was angry but immediately after, the image of Moses descending from Mount Sinai and bashing the Decalogue against the ground popped in my head and it made me feel better. It gave me a prophetic feeling…
Now I have to glue the tablets back with super-glue, considering that if I went back to the shop, they wouldn’t give a new one for free…
Cheerio…

And everyone died didn’t they? Or something bad happened? I’m always the bringer of doom in dreams. ☹

It depends on what scene you look at. Either you hit another car, or you crashed intoa a house. We saw the scene where you hit the car, but only the aftermath of the crash into the house. There were mutual exclusive events and the second replaced the first.

How is it a failure if it was never your goal to find order. This is mundane… this is not your thread. Be nice or get out.

did you know Hitler studied the Bible? and often quotes from the bible in Mein Kampf?
Look, scientist set out to find order, when they can’t find it, they call it randomness. OK

I wanted to say a few words about liberalism. However, that paticular thought happened & I have nothing to share about it. It leaves me with infinite possibilities. But I’ll probably wake up & realize my dreams aren’t free.
What am I doing here anyway? I’m not a social lubricater. But I am loose. I’m more realistic than any alternate universal phenomena. Certainly, I’m wondering where all the stuff comes from.
Ultimately, when I get enough out of it, my clock seems unstable. Even when I attempt to adjust the level of my reality, I can have any kind of sex I want. It’s one of the things I do to recognize when I’m getting down to unlimited business. This is what I’m getting better at.

Thank you. That’s the sort of thing this thread is all about.
Cheers.
