Our personas convince us that there is nothing that we don't know about ourselves -- that we are in fact the person we see in the mirror and believe ourselves to be. But the issue with this is that once we have bought into the story of 'this is who I am,' we shut the door on any other possibility and deny ourselves access to all of who we can be. We lose our ability to choose, because we can't do anything outside the confines of the character we're playing. The predictable persona we've constructed is now in control. We become blind to the immense possibilities for our life."

Weird Dream

Last night I had a weird dream. There was a woman who had about 15 dogs and named them all after movie stars. One of them was Mickey Rooney. She was showing me and someone else (it might have been Nice Guy??) this house and there was a room that was kind of like a horse barn except there were beds and pillows and mattresses in all the stalls for her dogs to sleep on. After that room whoever I was with and I went exploring on our own and found a little study, very old fashioned with bookshelves and a writing desk and dark green high back leather chairs. A door to the study opened up to what I think was her bedroom, but it was a very old fashioned and manly looking bedroom. Didn't really have any feminine touches. We left and went to another room which is where my dream actually gets weird. I think it's the dining room. The room is mostly floor to ceiling windows and a stained wood vaulted ceiling. There's a fireplace in the corner and a big table with 8 or 10 chairs around it. Then the floor is like patio stone with a race track pattern in it. Like if you moved the table, little kids could take their cars and play for hours on this race track made of stone. And the thing is, I've dreamt about this room/house before. Except the last time I dreamt about it, the house was totally empty of any furniture.

I've never seen this house before, but this is the second time I've dreamt about it and I can remember very specific details about it. I just feel very funny about it.
