Imagination

   There was an artist who dreamt of this very beautiful girl. The very next day he painted a picture of the girl in his dream. Over the ensuing days he started to fall in love with the girl in the painting and everyone thought he was crazy. 

   Then he had a nightmare and there was a very grotesque and evil monster in the nightmare. The very next day he painted what he saw in the nightmare, along with the scary monster. Every time he looked at the finished picture he was back in the nightmare, full on with his crazy imagination. Again people thought him very strange.

   But this is what we do with our thinking.  Our over active imagination, creates all of these dramas and then thinks they are real and no one says a word, because we're all trapped in the same addictive pattern.
