The more time I spend playing around with this dream art, the more I find myself thinking about the idea of what it would be like if we were all inside out.  I don't mean that in the sense of physically being flipped in reverse, but if we appeared to others exactly as we are 'on the inside' or essentially as a being of consciousness.  It's an interesting thought to me as I have been lucid dreaming for a while now and it's always sort of fascinating to me that in my dreams I feel that I see people as I truly perceive them to be.

I'm sure it's all a matter of perspective how we perceive others and how we appear to them.  I stopped spending so much time comparing myself to anyone else a while back and tend to just focus on embracing my own existence and trusting that others will do the same, but I still like to imagine what it would be like if perceptually things were much less convoluted.  No one could hide their emotions or intentions and perhaps there would be less self doubt in the world in general.

If everything that we could hide away from others was somehow transparent and we were able to know everything about one another from just a glance, I suppose that could make things pretty boring overall.  Maybe not though.  Perhaps we would just find other ways to be out of touch with each other.  The mystery of the unknown seems to be as alluring and marvelous as it is terrifying in some aspects.  Personally I just view the unknown as infinite possibility and embrace the surprise.

I rarely consider myself as some highly intuitive being, but it's clear that I pick up on things that others don't sometimes.  To me, it's all about just being present when communicating with others, but I can recall these connections and sense of awareness of things that can only be defined as metaphysical when I was much less self aware.  I just find it rather interesting that it took me so long to realize that I could be as aware of myself as I always felt I was of others.  It puts a lot of things in to perspective and allows me to be much more respectful to others in general, even if they don't always see it that way.

It seems that having little regard for pretense and allusion rubs some people the wrong way and I can't really fault them for that.  I just personally prefer to be very direct in what I mean or say, but I still wonder what it would be like if there was no barrier to meaning or context.  Would communication really be easier if there were no white lies and pleasantries?  Would we treat people differently if we could see straight through all of the illusions and masked or repressed emotions?  Perhaps it's really just a matter of perspective on which way is more efficient.  Either way, it's just something I think about when playing around in the deep dream generator.
