Well, I understand you, HNM in that of course hanggliding is not an Ikran and that a lush forest still is not bioluminescent and that tsaheylu is just not happening here on Earth as well as there are no floating mountains and a sky with a giant red planet. I long for these too, I have to admit. And I think they will and always have been in my dreams.
But I did not intend to ask for your longings or dreams, I meant to ask towards what these longings inspire you? You said they are good for you, you cherish these longings despite them beeing unreachable (ok, some actually are - like finding a soulmate and becoming free of society and live more naturally)? So if they are good for you, what is their effect on you, towards what do these things inspire you in your life - what vision for your life here and now do you get from them? Pandora is intangible and dwelling on a longing for it that cannot be fulfilled only makes sense, if it inspires you towards something in your life now and here, otherwise it is just escaping into dreams and waiting for some miracle, I would think.

"Humans are storytellers. These stories then can become our reality. Only when we loose ourselves in the stories they have the power to control us. Our culture got lost in the wrong story, a story of death and defeat, of opression and control, of separation and competition. We need a new story!"
