your cursed, im cursed, were all cursed, big deal.

so i had a pretty wierd dream and it was about 3 people (none of which were anyone i know) who are all being chased by ghosts of abusive dead parents. they are actually being chased around the world by these ghosts. and they see various therapists to help them deal with the ghosts in hopes of becoming well. here is a line one of the characters a woman said that keeps ringing in my head as kinda funny. she is talking to her a therapist after almost being run down by a car driven by the ghost of her father. and being forced to eat a whole rolled up bolt of carpet as some wierd ritual to temporarly banish her ghost for a bit. while here and her 2 other characters sit regrouping after the incident she says. " doctor im not sure im dealing well with the mental time travel nessasary to make me well. i keep getting lost" . I think the reason that this is resonating with me is that introspection is something that is really important to do from time to time and its kinda like a mental time travel, and its really easy to get lost and confused. there are so many ways that your brain can trick you. This dream had a lot of similarities to the movie i saw a couple days ago called "howls moving castel" . in the movie all the main characters have a curse on them and the plot follows how the characters deal with eachother trying to help eachother and some times hindering eachother all in the parameters of each individual curse. in my dream all the characters are being pursued by the ghosts of dead parents. they all try to help eachother but also get pulled into the others struggle. this is so much like human life. except the curse we are all under is our own baggage. i have yet to meet someone who is baggage free. the perills of human life is not only your baggage but the effects of every one elses baggage in our lifes path. in my dream the main characters start to realize that they will never out run these ghosts. and in the movie the characters never really get their curses lifted. they just kind of deal with it all. its a balancing act how to not let your baggage inpact to greatly on someone else and how not ot fall to far into someone elses personal battle that you for get your own path, or you get lost all together. so i guess the moral of my dream is dont get lost in your own head, dont get lost in someone elses head, dont do either as an excuse to get out of doing what you really need to do in order to better your self. dont be too self absorbed that you pull others into your dramma. know when its good to lend a hand and when its a trap. know when to stop thinking about it. like now. its really all pointless to worry about any way.
