Greg McCracken- Personal Reflection #5- Dreams and Sacred Time
In class we have discussed sacred time and as I contemplated on the subject, I realized that experience Sacred Time almost every night. I know times when I have slept 8 hours and felt like I have drempt 8 seconds, and other times when I have took a 20 minute nap that seemed to have a 5 hour dream. It is amazing to wake up from these experiences and to realize that each moment seemed to transcend time.

Also, this made me realize that time is not as stable as it seems. It is pretty common knowledge that "time flies when you are having fun," and that time seems to drone on forever when you are in a painful situation. Kinda sucks, doesn't it?
But still, it is nice to stop and reflect on the concept of time as something that is unstable. It seems to give the world a little bit of edge. And it is certainly possible that it is not just our mind that makes time change, but that the world around us is tellng us something. Though the good times feel good, maybe it is the most important to really understand the bad times. And maybe we were meant to experience pain in a slow form so that we could find some kind of meaning within it. Maybe that also explains why life changing moments tend to be bad things, and those moments make us stronger.
