Something I wrote about dreams and their connection to myself back when I identified as a moon rabbit.

‐‐----------------

Dreams aren't one of the things people traditionally associate with moon rabbits, but I find I differ in many ways from what is found in folklore.

But under the cut is just a bit of my musings on dreams in a literal, abstract, and spiritual view and my connections to them.

In my world view dreams, thoughts, imagination and the sort is reflected in everything in the visible world and not just in the invisible one. Though not many acknowledge it the way I do, I think.

Art, one's surroundings, our personalities, ect. are shaped so much by thoughts and decisions starting in the mind. Whether they are deliberate or instinctive, from the self or others. These invisible threads connect everything in such little ways, it would seem chaotic if one were able to see it all. Or at least ponder it all for a moment. Even I wonder about how thoughts along with environmental factors may have affected evolution.

In my writings I tend to ramble, and I sometimes wonder if I really am making a point about my personal connections to things. I feel too much to be able to articulate my own identity in a way that might make sense to others...but I suppose dreams in the literal and abstract represent transformation and infinity to me. I feel myself to be infinite in a divine way, and I see this in all things around me too. In the way all things are connected, and how ones perceptions can shape how they perceive what is called reality. And in how even a single thought made physical or into mere words can stir hearts for better or worse.

In me is the idea that all things dream of one another. Beings dreaming of deities. The deities dreaming of other beings. The stars dreaming of other forms. Reality dreaming of fiction, and fiction of reality. All things constantly creating one another in a seemingly endless manner.

By nature, I am an animist so to me it doesn't seem farfetched that inanimate things/concepts too can dream like animate things can. A child may hold a new toy and instantly know it's story and personality. An adult of pure logic may believe these thoughts are of the child's imagination and nothing more. I make the time for logic when it counts, but I am not a being who cares to be logical when it comes to these things. Perhaps this toy had dreamt up it's own identity, and only those with an open enough mind to see and create without shame can share in this dream.

Dreams are a part of me, dare I say I am made of them. I am dreams itself, just as I know myself to be the moon's light and so much more.

The moon is just like a mirror in how it reflects light, reflects on the state of the mind and so on. Then naturally my form reflects what I am able to imagine in my mind as I am a shapeshifter by nature...so, the moon changes shape yet remains the moon. So too do I change form at will, yet remain a moon rabbit at my core despite all the shapes I may wish to take.

So, as I am. As a moon rabbit. My father is one of many beings connected to the moon, and he had birthed me and my seven other siblings. Reflections of him, his eight little dreams. By nature we make medicine, heal, produce elixirs of immortality. Then too by nature the expression of one's dreams can be cathartic, and that which appear in night dreams can give hints to what may ail the mind. Memories and ideas when shared with others can last forever, changing shape as they are passed along.

As I have said before, my feelings are far to vast to be able to articulate them all. But I guess that just shows how important dreams are to my identity and world view. My view isn't the only one however, so at the core of all this is how much I cherish the experiences and ideas of all things. How at everything's core, to exist and to be perceived is to be changed in some way.

Dreams also play a part in my views and experiences with the concept of immortality. But I'll save that for another post and time. I apologize if my writing doesn't make any sense or comes across as sloppy. I just wrote and wrote until I couldn't articulate my heart anymore. 😭
