Were you aware that *some* fat is *good* for you? Keeps the arteries "lubed"
so to speak, prevents hardening, plaque build-up, attacks, strokes, etc. The
"bad" fat is that which actually contributes *to* such build-up & hardening.
Which is which? It
helps to do one's own research. I prefer to go by what Jesus says in Matthew
15:11— A man [One's Spirit] is not defiled by what enters his mouth, but by
what comes out of it.

because you always relate to yourself as a 2nd person dreaming. Just wonder
why?
(Long answer): Well, when "I" speak to "you" I am addressing the "second
person," as in "you are asking an interesting question."
When "I" speak of "the dreamer" the perspective is that of the "3rd person,"
such as "The person ("The dreamer") was reading the Bible."
When "I" speak of only myself, that's only a single person, and as Jesus
teaches in John 5:31— "If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true."
When speaking of "you," one also "speaks falsely" as *all* instances of "you
are" reflect "duality of ad hominem fallacy." (See also: discuss

critical-thinking-short-notes-answer-Richard-
Carl-Silk and also: tinyurl.com/itta-topic-0v1 and tinyurl.com/ITTA-Topic-Ud )
When speaking in 3rd person, "One speaks of ALL" rather than any segment or
portion of Creation.
For instance, "we" is the "preferred pronoun" of the demon, formerly known as
"Legion" of the Gadarene in Mark 5:9— “What is your name?” Jesus asked.
“My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”
The plural, collective pronoun "we" may be "safely" used in a tightly defined
setting, such as:
"The family and I went adventuring last weekend: we had fun."
There are two major examples of "speaking in the 3rd person" in the New
Testament: Primarily, Jesus always refers to Himself as "the Son of Man";
John the Disciple / Apostle always refers to himself as [the disciple whom
Jesus loved] (or some phrase
very similar to that.)
Here's an example of using "One" in the form of "third person Omniscient":
One has a choice— to *love God* (Oneself *and others) NOW and for all
eternity, or to {hate, fear, oppose or deny} {anyone or anything} until
death. Simple choice. See also: biblehub.com/joshua/24-15.htm — But IF it
is unpleasing in your sight to
serve the LORD, then CHOOSE for yourselves THIS DAY whom you will serve,
whether the gods your fathers served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the
Amorites in whose land you are living. As for me and my house, we will serve
the LORD!”
(See also, Deuteronomy 30, specifically, verses 15-20.)
Silly me, I've somehow always imagined that you've been reading these posts
sort of like the occasional comics strip: if it's there, someone reads it.
It barely occurred to me that you *might* have skipped one or two.
(Basically, all this has already been explained throughout the history of
these posts, but the opportunity to refresh the information is always helpful
)
Over the course of the years, it became somewhat apparent to me that when
writing dreams in the 1st person, to say (write) that "I" was [doing
something] began to feel "awkward," *especially* in dreams wherein the mind of
the dreamer happened to be a
female (like one written earlier, just this month! or the one some years ago,
on the morning of a specific July 25th, when I dreamt I was my sister about to
give birth!!) or when the "point of view" is that of the "first person," as
seen from a "camera
view perspective."
That is, in first person, the individual never sees one's own face (as the
camera never sees itself) because that's the perspective *from* which one is
observing.
In first AND second, "I can see *your* face" (1 sees 2.)
In *some* cases, the dream is as if seeing the dreamer from the (3rd person)
perspective of, say, a drone camera hovering slightly above or behind, as if
from an audience perspective, watching something either on stage or on
screen. (That's why the
angle of the view is sometimes mentioned: some views are as from below,
looking either further below, or forward, or upward to ground level, some from
ground level looking either downward, forward or upward, and some from above,
looking either downward,
forward, or further upward. I *seem* to recall at least *one* dream wherein
the view included a *view behind*!)
Somewhere, once upon a time, in the not-too-long-ago, I *seem* to recall
posting *one* dream wherein the perspective was *omniscient,* as if seeing in
*all* direction *in the single moment* (which, if you close your eyes and
think about it a moment or
two, you can possibly "see for yourself" what that may be like— for
instance, imagine what space must look like, in *all* direction, from the very
center point of the sun.)
So at any rate, it occurred to me, that *sometimes* the dreamer (the
perspective *in* the dream, regardless of whether it's 1st, 3rd, or Omniscient
in some manner) is in a role far different from anything I've ever experienced
for myself in real life,
say, that of a road worker laying blacktop. Sure, I've *seen* that in person,
even been helped by such a person in my early youth, but never worked such a
job personally. So for me to dream of being in such a perspective, it simply
"reads better" to
write that "the dreamer was working as a road builder..." (etc.)
Also, there are times when "I" seem to be "in communication with" either:
A) someone else within the dream, such as "me speaking to you" (1st person to
2nd person) *OR*
B) someone communicating with me, (2nd to 1st) *OR*
C) the mind of the dreamer in communication with an "Omniscient Mind," which
(so far) has been sensed at two levels (at least!) such as:
1) the dreamer in communication with myself, as in something I (Richard)
happen to know of from this lifetime experience, and am somehow sharing that
knowledge with the dreamer, OR
