Poem: Do Trees Dream

Do Trees Dream

I wonder what we can’t see
If all life dreams like we
And it lies just on the flip side
Of reality

And if we are driven by dreams
And so are even the trees
Is the something dependent on the “nothing”
For everything to be

Hope you guys like it. Be gentle, I’m soft

I wish you stay free.
Far away from stupid truman

It’s just a matter of humbling yourself to the point where you trust others more than yourself and listen to their perspective on reality. Then adopt that perspective for a while and see the world through their eyes. At a certain point you will get to the point where you’ve unconditioned yourself. I still have delusional thoughts, but i recognize them as delusional and they don’t really scare me. Without my belief they’re powerless. All of the wild ■■■■ we believe goes away when you don’t think about it. Only what is real remains in the absence of thought.

Truman is not just a thought passing by.
It’s a feeling, like an instinct

I have it too. It’s a conditioned thought pattern. You observe it when it happens and you don’t give it the power of your belief. At a certain point, the knowledge that nothing has anything to do with you becomes a more deeply held belief than the thought that you’re being watched. It takes practice. If you’re struggling right now, find a public place and repeat to yourself that none of anything happening has anything to do with you. I personally don’t know you. You have to believe that people are good and won’t mislead you, especially the ones that care. Try to see through their eyes and trust their perspective more than your own.

Existential level. Sentience brings dreams. Cats and dogs dream. They have rapid eye movement. Wondering about trees but it’s a such a good question!

I like your poem and I like the question. I think that boils down to sentience. Are trees conscious? Probably not!

Hmmmm

Trees don’t have brains though.

Looks like an interesting read. I’m gonna read it a little later as my focus with big text is not great atm.

Beautiful poem @crazydiamond444. Trees are more aware than we think.

I love your poem.
I do believe trees and plants are living beings.
This challenges my beliefs of being a vegetarian.
O well.
