Fountain of Life

The subconscious is alive in all of us but some want to deny that it is there, or only acknowledge it as dreams. The importance of the subconscious however is that it is our mind dealing with such concerns and questions of acceptance, loneliness, existence, permanence, love, fear, etc. Those that want to deny or put aside these aspects of our mind thus also put them aside in the soul leading to hypocrisy and worse problems of self-identity. It is only in addressing these subjects that we can grow in our own self-identity and thus our relationships with others.

Enjoy, please don't overanalyze. I do believe we are working things out in our subconscious minds, sometimes it is things we don't even want to admit that we are working out. I am letting somethings out of my subconscious mind but some images are just cool.

I am addressing the issues that come through dreams; life and death, the struggle for survival and to create the next generation, to be forgiven and to forgive. Our dreams are where we attempt to solve the conflicts in our lives that our conscious mind tells us that we can't solve without a change in our character. By admitting what is in my mind does not say that I act on every impulse, just, that like others, I have thoughts that I ponder and do not know all of the answers to.

Thank you Ralph Gibson for Somnambulist.
