The Dream Thread

[Verum Occultum]

I woke up from a dream where I was in a class with other students and a teacher. I had my headphones on (which I have always in waking reality at school). In the dream, in this class the teacher ordered me to take my headphones off. I did not like this idea because I always like to listen to music and no other teacher has ever said this to me, and it does not in any way disturb others, limit my ability to learn or to listen to others. So I said with a very intense power and voice which reverberated throughout the entire class. I said:

These headphones are therapy to me, and they are like a mental asylum for my mind. If this does not violate anyone, as it does not, and if this is accepted by everyone, as it is, then I will continue to use these headphones.

I couldn't believe how intense this expression was. It was so intense that actually the teacher left the class and our class ended before it was supposed to. I didn't mean to scare or startle the teacher, but to just speak my mind. In other words, we gained freedom from irrational prohibitions. #rebel
