Replying to @vingar
What about you, Vinish? What are your language(s) and how do they influence you most? I'm truly fascinated.

In read and write in English and study a bit about language and its history in a few fascinating references @aeonmag What fascinates me most: - subjectivity in interpretation when we need to draw shapes to explain it - how people are so confident when they are NOT clear enough

For example my 8yo saw a dream today in sleep... that a group of people were throwing water on the Sun to douse it off and to throw it outside the solar system. To explain it, he actually drew a picture to explain what he saw. He is @beingnamang

Hi there! @Beiingnamang are you very visual in general? Prefer drawings/photos/etc. to words? This is also fascinating and shows we all do not learn or process sensory data the same way, yet education rarely addresses this well at all.

Not always visual but I lack the patience to explain when visuals are complex in my dreams.

LOL! Do you have very vivid dreams? Are they in color? Any specific repeating dreams? Answer only if comfortable, I'm just very curious!

Vivid, and mostly grey with mild colors. I don't think about it much unless dad asks. He is often interested and asks me to explain but kids are like me. Not too sure of repeating either... but often these are strange and impractical just as throwing the Sun out of solar system.

To me, they are a sign of a very active imaginative and creative person. As a very young child (2 or 3) I would press my hands against my eyes before sleeping and watch the shapes and figures that appeared. As we age, we forget these wonders. You're helping your dad stay young!

Thank you, he just now told me his discussions with you in the past on language & accessibility. Thanks so much

And I thank you! Your experiences and ability to write about them also show you to excel at language. Your comment regarding drawing the dream because of impatience with words is especially interesting to me, as is the dream itself, which I love!

Narrative, storytelling - we share a love of this. Typically, this comes from our family and heritage. My mom would start a story at noon, follow a non-linear narrative, and tie it all together with one comment an hour later that, if you followed along, could leave one in awe.

My dad studied journalism and so I too. We can find stories in the code and the code in the stories. Such a joy having this conversation with you after a while. Hope you are safe and are doing good. We are all part of the bigger narrative in so many ways.
