dreams and faces we don’t remember…

LINK: dreams and faces we don’t remember…

They say that the human brain can’t create new faces in dreams. Every person I see while I sleep is someone I’ve crossed paths with before. It could be a stranger on the train, someone in a commercial, or a forgotten classmate. Our subconscious is basically a storage unit of every detail we’ve ever absorbed, whether we’re aware of it or not. Paranormal experts have their own take claiming those unfamiliar faces are spirits watching me sleep. Creepy AF.

Last name, I dreamt that someone was chasing me, trying to kidnap me. I remember running down this dimly lit street that looked like a mix between my old neighborhood and somewhere I’ve never been. I kept glancing back, trying to see who it was. But every time I thought I finally clocked their face, it shifted. The jawline changed. The eyes flickered. The hair shortened, then lengthened again. It was as if my eyes and brain were playing a cruel joke on me.

At one point, I could feel him getting closer. My pulse was racing; I wanted to scream, but no sound came out. Then the face changed again, and that’s when I woke up. My heart was pounding. It took a few minutes to remember where I was.

I’ve asked ChatGPT aka AI-Chan, to analyze my dream and it said that I’m being chased by something in real life—not a person, but a situation or emotion I’m trying to avoid. The shape-shifting faces represent all the unresolved emotions that take turns wearing different masks. Each one trying to catch up to me, reminding me that I can’t outrun what I refuse to deal with.

Well… I do have to admit that I’ve been under a lot of pressure this week with audits and adjusting to life with a new doggo. It also doesn’t help that Olivia has been all up on me. She honestly has to go. I don’t have time for her fuckery. I haven’t really had much down time over the past several weekends either and chances are slim I’ll have time to unwind this weekend.

Do you dream of unfamiliar faces too?

    I didn’t dream of unfamiliar faces, but my nightmare is usually I am encountering snakes, which I’m very scared of. My mama, papa, or eldest sister wakes me up when I’m screaming lightly at night. I haven’t tried ask AI about it. I hope the pressure died down, Rojie, very soon. Hugs!

    I suffered a reoccurring dream in my youth. A shapeshifting woman. She would come to me as someone I knew- tell me of the danger afoot- and tell me where to hide- only to open the door of the closet she had told me to hide in as the hideous beast I was running from in the first place.- I have come to understand- that shapeshifting woman- was me.

    I was going to say Olivia, but you beat me to it.

    The faces in my dream are a mix of familiar and unfamiliar. I’d like to see some citations on that claim the human brain can’t create new faces. I think it’s BS.

    I dream of both family and unknowns, rarely ever of friends and practically never of celebrities.

        At the point I was about to be grabbed and pulled away, someone from no where reached out and pulled me away. The person who was after me fell into the abyss.

    OK, skimmed tne article and it appears to be entirely about how and what part of the brain performs facial recognition, and absolutely nothing to do about imagining new faces out of whole cloth. AI confabulates again. Shocker.

    A quick summation of the Yom Kippur dedication of the Divine Soul Name אלהים to the Shemene Ezeret dedication of the Divine Soul Name איש האלהים.

    מלכים ב ו:טז-יז. Elisha when surrounded by Syrian soldiers, his servant expressed great fear. Elisha reassured him by saying that more stood with them than with the Syrians. He then davvened for his servant’s eyes acknowledge the new creation consequence of the prophet’s tohor time-oriented commandment, great numbers of heavenly army of angels surrounding them, causing the Syrian soldiers to flee in panic.

    What defines the k’vanna of the נעילה תפלה in the Yom Kippur מחזור? Contrast this question to Shemene Ezeret where Yidden complete the reading of the Torah and start the Book of בראשית. How does the Torah reveal prophesy? An incredibly basic fundamental question, which neither the NT nor Koran ever asked. The latter av tumah avoda zarah religious abominations pervert prophesy to witchcraft; Bil’aam predicted the future.

    Prophets, starting with Moshe Rabbeinu’s Torah command mussar – the NaCH Books of the Prophets do not pretend to for-see future events, which defines how the NT and Koran Protocols of the Elders of Zion hoax forgeries understand prophesy. This error every bit as big as “Theological Monotheism” – belief in some Universal One God.

    The Talmud clearly instructs that HaShem offered the Torah revelation to both Esau and Yishmael. Both inquired to its contents which commanded not to murder or steal. Only the 12 tribes of Israel therefore stood at Sinai and accepted the Torah. Hence 1. assimilation and 2. intermarriage, both these critical Torah precedents/בניני אבות defines the k’vanna of the 2nd Sinai commandment negative commandment not to worship foreign gods; how this negative commandment כללי understands/מאי נפקא מינא the Av time oriented-first Sinai commandment.

    The 2nd Sinai commandment משנה תורה\common law precedent defines the revelation of Torah common law revelation at Sinai which only the Tribes of Israel accepted making HaShem a tribal god of the chosen Cohen People. Contrast the Hadith being sayings of Muhammad exists as statute law rather than common law.

    Statute law based upon legal authority figures like government officials. Common law compares similar courtroom rulings made by different courts of common law. Therefore, Hadith qualifies as legislative statute law, something like a law passed by the British Parliament rather than judicial common law which have a Constitutional Torah mandate to regulate all Legislative statute laws through the process of Legislative review known in the second name of the Book of דברים as משנה תורה/judicial common law.

    Moshe Rabbeinu’s father-in-law/Yitro first advised Moshe how to ruling his people throughout the generation through the establishment of common law courtrooms which have the Torah constitutional mandate to regulate all statute law passed by any other branch of the Federal Government. The 12 Tribes of Israel established the first Republic when the prophet Yehoshua conquered Canaan.

    The Torah includes both statute-like commandments (mitzvot) and legal precedents (case laws) that function similarly to common law. Mitzvot as statute-like commandments, both positive and negative mitzvot — do not require k’vanna. K’vanna defined as the dedication of tohor Oral Torah Horev revelation middot, affixed מקום קבוע to Torah mitzvot and Talmudic halachot; specifically, the rabbinic mitzva of tefillat Shemone Esrei. Herein defines the basis of dedicating Divine Names for the souls/life dedicated while standing before a Sefer Torah and swearing a Torah oath/blessing. (Blessings exist as תולדות to Torah oaths based upon the 2nd tier תולדות מצוות in their relationship with Av tohor time-oriented commandments – תמיד מעשה בראשית.)

    In the specific case of Av kre’a shma tefillah to תולדות Shemone Esrei tefillah, the שחרית first blessing to the קריא שמע address the k’vanna of Av tohor time-oriented commandments through the twice repeated רמז term תמיד מעשה בראשית. The four part פרדס inductive reasoning kabbala of Oral Torah does not recognize as particularly significant worshipping words printed in either the T’NaCH Talmud or the Siddur.

    This opening kre’a shma blessing/oath\, made for example by and through tefillen, either Rashi or Rabbeinu Tam, or mixing part of one with part of the other, which permits larger tefillen boxes. This latter sh’itta helps to understand the מחלוכת concerning when to say תפילה דאורייתא ערבית between Rashi and Rabbeinu Tam. This dispute likewise explains how rabbi Yeshua could answer the ערבית תפילה could exist as both חיוב ורשות as one Torah commandment!

    רשות commandments traditionally misinterpreted as “optional”. The rabbis, in the case of women placing tefillen, a tohor time-oriented commandment, as optional – meaning secondary, having a lower level of holiness. Rabbi Yehoshua one of the instructors of rabbi Akiva, he did not recognize this false טיפש פשט. Herein we reach the Order of תפלה נעילה on Yom Kippur. The dedication of the Divine Chyyah soul name אלהים.

    Have reached a מאי נפקא מינא – “gee I could have had a V-8″ moment. Rabbeinu Tam rules the halacha poskined from the opening Av Mishna of ברכות, permissible to dav-ven תפילת ערבית at פלג המנחה while the Sun remains visible in the sky. Tefillen traditionally limited to a day-light Torah commandment. Consequently, a person can reverse the mixture of Rashi/Rabbeinu Tam tefillens placed during the שחרית קריא שמע דאורייתא תפילה. That person has the רשות to then dav’ven the קריא שמע ערבית תפילה דאורייתא with the intention to affix this kre’a shma to his נעילה תפלת דרבנן שמונה עשרה. As a consequence this person dav’vens both שחרית וערבית with tefillen!

    Tefillen as a mitzva permits a person to swear a Torah oath. The Gemara of Sanhedrin learns that sworn false oaths caused the floods in the days of Noach. Yom Kippur remembers the t’shuva made by HaShem wherein HaShem annulled the vow to make of the seed of Moshe the chosen Cohen people. Possible to annul a vow, not so a Torah oath!

    Herein we can understand the holiness of the repetition of the Shemone Esrei wherein the Angels declare Holy Holy Holy. What defines the Torah concept of Angels? Clearly the Koran does not have the slightest clue. Proof that Muhammad a false prophet. Angels created through swearing Torah oath which require שם ומלכות. Kingship gives a direction taken by a people through the leadership of the king himself. Impossible to define a term using the identical term!

    Kingship in this context therefore refers to the dedication of some specific Oral Torah tohor spirit revealed first to Moshe at Horev – 40 days after the sin of the Golden Calf on Yom Kippur. What does this Oral Torah dedicated through swearing a Torah oath create? Answer – Angels. The Torah תפילה דאורייתא תפילה – קריא שמע accepts the yoke of the kingdom of heaven upon the oath created Angels – created through the sworn שם ומלכות שבועה. Herein distinguishes a Torah blessing from a Torah praise. The latter expressed through saying Tehillem prayers. Grasping such subtle distinctions defines רב חסד-מאי נפקא מינא.

    Shemene Ezeret dedication of the Divine Soul Name איש האלהים, the k’vanna of this closing 4th Torah Chag, to dedicate the k’vanna of HaShem as KING over the Angels created through swearing Av tohor time-oriented Torah commandments תמיד מעשה בראשית.

    The Torah opens with the Divine Soul name אלהים rather than the שם השם לשמה first revealed in the opening Sinai Torah commandment. Why? The Chosen First Born Cohen People yet created through observance of tohor Av time-oriented commandments. Hence the Torah opens by describing the world as chaos and anarchy as depicted through the oppression of giants who raped women, the building of the Tower of Bavil, and the destruction of the cities of Sodom.

    This point of distinction separates the mitzva of Amalek told in שמות from the mitzva of Amalek told in דברים. A clear example of the Book of the Torah teaching prophetic mussar through משנה תורה common law legalism. D’varim introduces that the Jewish ערב רב — אין להם יראת אלהים.

    ערב רב שיצאו ממזרים אין להם יראת אלהים as told in the mitzva to remember the eternal war against Amalek one shabbat prior to Purim, the custom to read this Torah passage. The mussar of דאורייתא Chag Purim places the essence of the commandment concerning Amalek upon the Jewish people not to become an Av tumah avoda zara which assimilates and intermarries with Goyim. Anti-Semitism defines the eternal war against Amalek. This eternal war an internal Civil War against Jews who worship Av tumah avoda zarah.

    The Divine Names function as oath soul Names of the chosen Cohen people in the image of HaShem. The closing Chag of Shemene Ezeret actively entails remembering, based upon ר”ה יום הזכרון. Man lives and dies by the Angels or demons which tohor vs tuma middot continually create תמיד מעשה בראשית. This judicial revelation (משנה תורה) forms the soul of prophecy and defines Torah’s political-legal distinction from every other system.
