So, I had a dream last night that I thought was pretty interesting, and I want to share it here to show how I process information for myself.
Dream:
>> I dreamt that my sister told me that my dad read a comic I made and thought it was too homoerotic and I needed to change it or support would be cut off. And my feeling in the dream was, "What? But...it's fine? I never thought it was a problem." <<
Since dreams are how I get answers to problems on my mind, I'm pretty good at interpreting mine. This dream isn't actually about my Dad or sister. They're stand-ins. Metaphors to bring sense to something bothering me. And that's the point of the dream
My Dad is actually very supportive of me, even if I can't tell him everything, and he doesn't always understand. My sister is someone I can be more open with and talk to
There's been a rise of censorship and puritanism hitting hard online both from companies and individuals. And it's hard. I've been blocked by those I considered friends and suddenly shut out and displaced from various locations. Searching for a place to post my art is such a slog. One place allows A & B but not C. And the other place allows C but not A & B. And I just want to post the things I wanna make. It's been tough finding a good spot or remembering all of the arbitrary nonsense, and then, even if you follow the rules, they can change or someone can suddenly decide your bad and evil because they feel icky about something you've made or like, and it really sucks
Dream Explanation:
>> So in light of all the recent FurAffinity drama and all of this displacement, that's where the dream comes in. My sister represents me hearing about the news, often not directly from the source. My dad represents a figure that I could trust that's suddenly throwing a curveball at me
The dream is about how I felt comfortable and safe, and now I suddenly don't. Things that weren't even an issue nor did I think they ever were are suddenly thrown in my face, and I'm told I need to change them. And I'm left hurt and confused <<
And that's where the dream ended. However, even though the dream might have ended where I feel I'm at emotionally, it did help. It helps me sort and understand my feelings and WHY I feel the way I do. And that's good! Since I understand it better, that means I can start moving forward
