But at the same time, I do believe that dreams can tell us a bit about who we are if we look in the right places. It would be an interesting experiment to try and isolate the "narrator" of the dream aside from my own thoughts, or even to attempt to permit an alternate persona to take on the narrator role.

Hmm...

Hmm... interesting...

I think that it would be just as important if not more so to learn about nix as ame. If you feel there is an antagonist or non-ideal side of you, shouldn't you wish to face it? Or at least study it to discern it's true nature and then perhaps rid yourself of it forever?

My emotions would prefer to side with Ame and leave Nix in a cage, but there is part of me who wants to poke and prod at the villain. I wonder if it's even possible to rid yourself of a part of your persona, but you make me think that by examining Nix, I would better recognize its influence when it does show up.

I think I'll get to know Ame a bit better before I get too close to Nix. Two versus one is much better odds

Yes, simply drink the proper proportion of lead paint to do appropriate brain dammage, and the persona will go away.. at least in your mind. Disclaimer: This is not an exact science.

Otherwise, it's something along the lines of "Try as you might, you cannot forget what a triangle is"... or, the persona is there even if it doesn't appear it is. It will come back once you reinforce the neural connections again.

You have enough inhibitory neurons to stop yourself from doing essentially anything. The only problem is, what is it that you really wish to avoid becoming and, how to recognize it easily.

Oh, and please get out of my thread. Thanks.
