UFOs and Aliens
Most of us have experienced that sometimes the eyes play tricks on us. We can be so sure of things, only to find the camera evidence doesn’t corroborate what we reported seeing. This is a true thing that humans experience. It is also true that sometimes people see things that others don’t see. These things have a myriad of explanations, covering the gambit of being creative to mental health difficulties. In the case of John Forbes Nash Jr., the Beautiful Mind physicist, it was both, but just because one sees something that others don’t doesn’t mean it’s a mental health problem. It’s is possible to have hallucinations and not be delusional. Most mediums are functional. Almost everyone can recall at least one dream, but we don’t relegate that to the realms of mental health. We’re likely to dismiss that, after all it’s just a dream, but that doesn’t mean dreams don’t have validity.
This is just an anecdote. When I would ask my dad about his dreams, he would always say, “I don’t dream.” Everyone dreams, not everyone remembers. In his case, even after the most important dream of his life, which negated the ‘I Don’t Dream’ statement, he would still say that when asked about dreams. I wonder how many people adopt the ‘I don’t dream’ statement because the acceptance means so much more than how we value it.
