thoughts
I am in some sort of simulation environment. There are others here. There is a room called the thinking room. Each room is meant to simulate or clarify a part of life. I have avoided the thinking room through the whole dream. I decide to go within. As soon as I step inside all these men begin rushing me, yelling, I turn to leave. I think the door is locked but it opens easily. I step outside and two children rush out. One young black boy jumps into my arms. Another older black boy rushes to my side. A large man tells me to come inside. I know that once in, it is like a maze. I ask the older boy to my right if he knows the way out and he becomes suddenly quite clear, responding, "Yes!". I return inside. This time no one yells at me, but I begin following the man instead of the boy. The boy lags somewhat behind me, hesitating. He seems to want to go in a different direction but I am not thinking, just following the man who is setting the course. I walk through a large kitchen area with several professional kitchens on platform. Nearby there are things for sale, a store full of "stuff". I think to myself, "It is a good thing that I am not hungry". I keep following this man to a table where several women are seated. I choose a spot and settle next to them. Now I am waiting for food, solely because the man told me to have a seat. Serena is suddenly at a nearby table she hints that she would like to have her clients around her. Without thinking I stand up and move all my stuff to her table. I am surprised and perturbed that no one else is being as accommodating. She wants a photo and I start wishing for my camera.
I wake up. Suddenly I am aware that my thinking is governed unconsciously by the actions, words and thoughts of others. If people are confrontational I retreat. If they are accommodating I follow their thoughts and needs, wants and desires. Even the boy, who knew the way out, was ignored, because he was my thought. I changed tables, chose to eat and followed a stranger into the maze without even considering the possibility of thinking for myself. I didn't need to eat or even go in that direction. How does this reflect my own thought process and my own choices. Am I making them if I have relinquished my right to choose for the chance of being liked or being nice or being safe?
