I dreamt that I was in a domed room with the older MI-6 spy-queen from the BBC series, "Killing Eve". She was explaining to me that the room we were in was an echo chamber used for training purposes. Every word we spoke or sound we made was echoed repeatedly throughout the room. Then she instructed me to stand in the center of the room. As soon as I did so the echoing dramatically stopped. It was like the center of a hurricane where all the violent forces of the storm balance and cancel each other out.
The spy-queen explained that at this focal point the echoes cancelled out, so I could hear things as they actually are, with no echos at all. She then instructed me to lean over and pick up a golf ball-sized blob in front of me. But, as soon as I bent over to retrieve the blob all the echos returned. The spy-queen told me that because of the echos I could not communicate, or "commune", with the blob, which was some sort of intelligent substance responsible for formulating everything we experience, i.e. "reality" itself. Being able to commune with this substance allows one to function within their experience ("reality") in ways that might seem miraculous or even impossible. The communion allows you to see and understand the purpose of everything, not to mention the way everything interacts. She explained that with training I could learn to "hear" without echos, by "standing in the center of my own mind" just as I stood in the center of the echo chamber.
I believe this dream reflects, or "echos", something important about the way we experience reality with our minds. Our mind is like the echo chamber in my dream. And our experiences are echoed emotionally over and over, such that we commonly confuse the echos for "reality" itself. I think that maybe the people we call "psychopaths" are really just people who naturally stand at the center of their mind. So they either can't "hear" the emotional echos, or if they do "hear" them then they realize instinctively that they are not what is "real", that they are merely "echos".
