I buried every one of my worst memories for 67 years.
There were a lot of buried memories.
I spent a few years trying to work through past trauma with EMDR therapy.
How does that work being that I spent my first 67 years of life dissociating?
LOL
FLASH!
I had a flashback dream about 2 months ago.
Instant recognition that what I dreamt happened in real life when I was 4-5 years old.
OH!
Damn!
This explains so much.
That’s when everything started coming back to me.
It’s weird how our minds can protect us without us having a say.
Why am I sharing this?
To make the point that we are never cured. Even I, even after spending 22 years facing my shadows, have more work to do.
Facing my Shadows.
My life’s plan is to continue facing these shadow in my dream life and my creative life. Tending my dreams, imagination, guided meditations, altered states of consciousness, and reading everything I can get my hands on.
Feeling impulses and following up on them.
Continue writing.
Until I’m dead.
