The need of dreaming

The need of dreaming
Hermano Leitão
We live mostly in an unconscious level due to our limited power to process all information that we receive in a daily basis and also from our genetic background. This causes us a variety of feelings and behaviors that we can not relate to what we perceive as a real fact of our lives. The way we release those unknown subjects or incomprehensible relations between what we think about of things and how we react to them impel us to believe in a surreal world. In other words, we need to dream about magic or supernatural happenings in order to survive in a jungle of daily nightmares. Thus, fairy tales and fiction play an important role to calm down our fears of failure or to vanishing into dust. For instance, arts, politics and religion take advantage of this necessity to lead men toward their targets. Nevertheless, there are different purposes in each field they play this ancestral game ranging from pure manipulation of our souls to a naïve search to free mankind of his obtruded mind prison. In the name of a super powerful divinity which threat us to live in eternal inferno if we do not obey his rules, religion captives us in order to serve its table of magnanimous offer to save humanity in exchange of a promised and unconditional slavery to a named church. Aside with allies and with a big stick that points to the risk of inflation, unemployment and other social threats, politicians sells their souls to the devil to acquire power and fortune at the expenses of the ones they are supposed to represent or to defend them from misery. Floating in waves of ludicious games, artists propose an interaction with hidden realities and the expansion of consciousness, even though it could break apart all limits of his own existence. In this need of dreaming, action always cure fears as long as we live.
