Humans are the only animal that's gone from Prey to Predator and I think that's why we have so many psychological issues; we've still got prey minds,but we are living a predator life. Prey animals are inherently social, they mass in groups for protection, want to be part of the herd. Predators are mainly solitary. Prey animals also spend the majority of their time busy, seeking low energy foods. Predators hunt high energy foods, so can spend a lot of their time doing nothing (lions for example sleep a lot). We get bored doing nothing and dislike being alone - just like prey, but like predators we have a lot of time to spare.

Only in our dreams are we ever truly free. In our dreams we control reality instead of reality controlling us. Our dreams are personal, they are experienced and affect only ourselves. Only in reality do we share our lives, find meaning. There's something in my dreams I 'see', something abstract, not spiritual, not physical,  which if only I understood I feel would have given me meaning, but I stare at it each night not understanding what it is. My mind is simply not bright enough to comprehend it. An illiterate simpleton staring at a signpost.
