: Have you ever known someone so well that you know them better than they know themselves? Most people are not totally honest with themselves because of some defense mechanisms built up through their life.
i think the only time i am completely 100% true in everything i think do and say is in dreams. i think dreams are the truest place you can ever be. whenever i really dissect a dream i always find unadulterated reality on so many levels. this is the only place i know about in the human psyche where this happens all the time (at least in my experience). in our waking lives i think we are constantly weighing everything out, we are trying to pierce through illusion.
