Czar, your post is truly interesting.....I think that God communicates with each one he chooses to communicate with according to their individual persona, in speech they readily understand.....that way he wouldn't hafta explain everything he said, because the words he chooses convey a connection to what he wishes the individual to relate his words to.....
The dream you wrote about does seem metaphorical....to me, the glowing red stream where the people are chained reminded me of the sparkling red wine that is spoken of in the bible.....I think it represents the scriptures that drug people with a mindset of "specialness" of purity, self-righteousness and a superiority complex....they're like a drug, enticing and mortally damaging....and people that are chained/addicted to those writings *are* drowning in them.....like addicts/alcoholics that refuse the cure because they love the "high" so much....and the cemetery above the stream is full of those who are not addicted to the scriptures but rather are using them to ensnare others in servitude to them, for their own personal gain, whether it be for power or greed....like drug dealers....they are, of course, the white-washed graves....and one seems to have fallen or lost its power somehow.....the bridge which you seem to be floating across is a strong support for you helping you to have an overview of the situation and insight into it....and helping you to travel beyond it....to move on....at least that's the way it appears to me....probably means something different to you, Czar, since you woke up screaming.....
I'm glad you're writing your borg bio, Czar....even tho lengthy, it'll be great for the personal purge and I'm thinking interesting reading too.....
Yes, I think it's God, too, Czar....and it is personal.
