The rollercoaster of solitude and loneliness (6)

I think I finally understand the feeling of loneliness. In my view, it feels like the Daryl Hall song below: "Every time you go away; You take a piece of me with you" (lyrics).

Dreams

Early 2016, I wrote my blog: Unknown unknowns – dreams. I suppose dreams are often about doubt, fear, hope & love. Sometimes, my dreams feel like science-fiction. According to ancient Sumerian (religious) beliefs, the human soul can travel during sleep and in the afterlife. In my view, the soul is the linking pin between individual and universal consciousness....
