I have had these dreams since I was about 4 years old, yes! Not quite nameable very awful energy.

Do you ever dream of the bad place? I can't really explain it but that's what I call these weird spaces or rooms in my dreams where I can just feel the most menacing, evil, dangerous atmosphere that makes me afraid to come closer or even wakes me up from fear, or I'm screaming in my sleep. These spaces often look normal and realistic, just a regular basement or building, they usually feature some kind of door too. It's just so surreal because in dreams you forget that what you see is not real, so suddenly feeling this eerie vibes from a room or door makes the evil seem so material and clear. Ever since my childhood I've been dreaming about the same places over and over and my worst fear is that one day I'll find them in real life and feel this dread then too. But maybe I would open the door, I'm just so desperately curious to know what kind of terror is so bad, it's finding its way into my dreams. I want to know what's there. And I want to know if I'm the only one who has these dreams.

i am not joking we need to force teach cooking in schools. like. it is an essential thing for survival. do you know how easy it is to make things if you know even the bare bones shit about how cooking works. we need to teach teenagers how far you can take an onion and some other veggies it’’s sad that people grow up not knowing how to prepare literally anything. and i’m not talking about oh this home ed class taught me how to make chicken nuggets at home i’m talking about learning the balancing of sweetness and acidity and saltiness and bitterness and shit like that and techniques and oil temperatures and how meats cook. it needs to be taught because it’s literally not even that difficult and it matters so much

“Queer dharma, or that Buddhist dharma as experienced by queer and trans people, challenges every one of these heteronormative codes. Even the notion that you are a gay man, or a lesbian, a trans man or trans woman, is challenged by both dharma and transqueer experience. Your female partner that you thought was a woman is now transitioning becoming a trans man; the gay man you are dating also performs as a drag queen and goes about as a woman in certain social contexts. Nothing is fixed or permanent; nothing can be pinned down for long; everything is impermanent; everything changes. This experience of profound impermanence is common to queer and trans people. It is the pattern of our lives; it is our lived experience. And it is one of the gifts that we have to share with the greater sangha. We know, perhaps more profoundly than heterosexuals, that there is no fixed “self,” that all facets of identity are ascribed, learned, performed, negotiated, discarded, transformed, and mutable.” - Shaun Bartone in Transcending: Trans Buddhist Voices
