We all dream. It's just a question of whether we remember our dreams. Dreams are not at all a naive and insignificant thing in our lives. Scientists still haven't discovered why we actually dream and what our dreams mean. But that's why they calculated that a person, on average, spends as much as six years dreaming during his life. But we are above average in many things and our example clearly shows that what is standard for others does not apply to us. In our country, as you know, different rules apply, so we have spent the second decade, more or less, asleep.
But we don't all dream the same. Some have realized their life's dream and are dreaming sweet dreams. Twenty whole years. They can be said to have succeeded - in their dreams. Masala! But that is one, smaller group of people. The chosen ones. The second, much bigger one, is - in deep hypnotic sleep. According to one of the recognized definitions, hypnosis is "bypassing a critical factor of consciousness with the aim of establishing selective thinking".
And the critical factor of consciousness keeps alive our current thoughts, behaviors and attitudes that have already been created in us based on our life experiences and compares all new ideas and suggestions that you hear from others or give to yourself with your existing attitudes. Well, when they remove the critical factor of your consciousness and put you in a hypnotized state - it's hard to move on and continue living a normal life. Through the life of an ordinary citizen. In a beautiful, small, Mediterranean country. And European.
It can be stressful to return to reality after a long hypnosis. Over the course of two decades, a man loses his sense of reality, values, justice and injustice. His feelings get mixed up and he only hears what is repeated to him constantly, hypnotically, in a steady, suggestive voice. Because - hypnosis is not a small thing. And he doesn't know that everyone does it. Only the most skilled. Hypnosis usually lasts as long as the hypnotist wants it to. There are also those citizens who could wake up from hypnosis a little faster. But they need to be shaken well. Until they understand the border between sleep and waking life and manage to cross it.
But those that can shake someone and wake them up from hypnosis are few. Many have succumbed to the flood of dreams that torment them. So they slowly gave up their dreams of a different reality. No wonder. Two decades of dormancy is a severe nightmare. A nightmare full of strange characters that, until the nineties, we thought existed only in movies, some animated, some cartoons. And Russian literature. And then these characters, described in literature, jumped into our lives. And not even a lick.
The great witch doctor heated up the cauldron, threw in a little bit of everything, corruption, organized crime, nepotism, clientelism, forged diplomas, clubs for beating journalists, listening devices, hidden cameras, bad privatization contracts, lots of padlocks for factories, houses without permits, a lot of the first violins that forge, war drums and trumpets that call to battle, deportation buses, rigged processes... All this was well mixed, boiled to boiling point, the fog began to rise from the cauldron. And the great mage stirred faster and more hatefully, the fire grew stronger, the fog spread, stupefied people, the hypnotized began to walk down the street in a frenzy. First, they traveled long distances under hypnosis.
They went to neighboring countries to defend it with their own lives. When they returned from the front, still hypnotized, they could not get far. Meanwhile, their factories have been closed. If they didn't already arrive for work like that, the next ones were for the elections. Under total anesthesia. Nothing hurt them when they circled the name of the great sorcerer around whose cauldron more and more people gathered. The apprentices tried to throw in something else in order not to hypnotize them a little more and thus take their money, job, knowledge or even their lives.
The concentric circles around the cauldron only expanded and became an increasingly powerful barrier that protects the mage from the possibility of awakening the citizen in the hypnotized subject. However, wandering and stumbling - it will be difficult for us to go in the European direction easily. Just getting sober helps. Ending the nightmare that suffocates and does not allow a person to return to reality, but every day he fights again with the nemans from his own dream.
Waking up from our collective slumber will be painful and difficult. Hangovers and disorientation may persist. Too ensconced in the existing dream - we are afraid of something new and different thinking that changes will disrupt the established rhythm that has lulled us in different ways - for twenty years.
There must be an awakening. As soon as possible. Until it's too late. Hypnosis is taking too long. And our nightmares are, in fact, their sweet dreams. Wrong. Every man in the world has the right to his own dream. And try to make it happen.
