It seems implied that our dreams hold fragments of our true selves- that it's something we're meant to attempt to decipher in order to better understand who we were and perhaps still are. I wonder if we deviate or change from that person, but more than that, how much relevance is the dream generally believed to have in reality?

I think we ae whom we are. And if we are not, then there is no way to know.

[chainofhatred]

Shouldn't those memories people experience tell us more about ourselves?

[spandexisyouth]

They should. But if you already mistrust who you are, why would you trust memories given to you? Who is to say they are not artificial?

[chainofhatred]

The same way I imagine you knew Lotus was your son.

[snowburned]

As much relevance as people want them to have, I suppose.

Sorry. That's not very helpful.

[chainofhatred]

No, that's probably closest to the truth.

[snowburned]

Have you found yours helpful so far?

[chainofhatred]

No, it leaves me with far too many questions, but some of the comments here have been mildly helpful.

[Reading and re-reading everything. And navel-gazing.]

Our physical form is defined by genetics. But our selves are shaped by the bonds that are formed with others.

[chainofhatred]

I suppose there's some truth in that.

[white_disciple]

I see you've been given much to think about. I often wonder similar things - though the names still confuse me.

[chainofhatred]

Names?

[white_disciple]

The act of choosing new names here.

[chainofhatred]

Chosen the same way I imagine you've chosen yours.
