This is great! I love how you explain trauma with reference to such a relatable case.
I keep having dreams about my high school end of the year exam. I imagine that I am not prepared well enough. That there is one subject that I have not studied the whole year and that I now do not have enough time to prepare for the exam.
Also, I have never really thought through the link between freeze and body-mind separation. I remember this to have happened during the years of University. My body was telling me that there was something off, was twitching in different parts (I clearly remember the stomach), and my mind (both consciously and unconsciously) was telling it to shut up. I remember looking at the body shakes and almost trying to stop them, also afraid it was some sort of disease. Immersing myself into the book pages so as to numb myself, and not face reality.
That body mind disconnection - I see it all over. With these recent (and current) shots, for example - where was the mind, for most people, and where was the body? Everything disconnected.
I guess it is more the lemming effect. We do as the leader want us to do. We trust you and do not need to do anything. And that is how it should be.
My brother say he has tried to wake up people since 1970s, so it is just 20% more people that is now awake... of some of the "dreams". The health dream is another most people need to wake up from. Your body is not broken, you just need to learn to listen to it, and interpret the signals :-)

Thanks for writing that. It is so difficult when you are on your second language to "hear" if the message is comming trough.
IT is possible to make that sort of dreams stop :-)
