Have you ever had a dream that you were in a foreign country?
For me: Yes, it happened to me certain times. Most recently, I had a dream last night, in which I found myself in Bangkok, Thailand 🇹🇭. But I also had other dreams, in which I found myself in other countries, such as in Spain 🇪🇸 (Madrid), Russia 🇷🇺 (Moscow), Myanmar 🇲🇲, Vietnam 🇻🇳, Zimbabwe 🇿🇼, India 🇮🇳, USA 🇺🇸, a country that was a mixture of Germany 🇩🇪 and Poland 🇵🇱. I also found myself once in North Korea 🇰🇵(Pyongyang + I even met Kim Jong Un there, don't ask me how it was possible 😬).
However, whenever I had a dream, in which I was in a foreign country, the places I saw there and walked to were just distorted images of landscapes and cities, which had little or nothing to do with their actual appearance.
In most of the cases, we usually find ourselves in hybrid landscapes in our dreams.
The reason for this is because our brains don't store exact ,,pictures" of places. Instead, they store fragments - features, impressions and emotional associations. The dreaming brain — particularly during REM sleep — shows reduced activity in areas responsible for logic and spatial coherence (like the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex). As a result, your brain freely mixes unrelated memories and sensory impressions: a street from your hometown might blend with a building from a movie or a vacation photo.

Today, on October 23, we gather to honor the heroes of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence — the brave men and women who rose up against tyranny to demand freedom, democracy, and national sovereignty.

In 1956, the Hungarian people—students, workers, and citizens—took to the streets of Budapest and across the nation to break free from Soviet domination. They wanted a free press, multi-party democracy, the end of the communist dictatorship and independence from Moscow’s control. The revolutionaries, many of them young—known as the “Pesti Srácok,” the Boys of Pest—fought with little more than Molotov cocktails and courage against overwhelming Soviet firepower. For a few shining days in early November, Hungary was free. The streets of Budapest echoed with hope and the voices of liberty.

But that dream was soon drowned in blood. On November 4, Soviet tanks rolled once again into Hungary. Thousands of Hungarians were killed; tens of thousands imprisoned or forced into exile. By November 11, the revolution had been crushed. Yet the spirit of 1956 lived on, burning quietly under the decades of communist oppression that followed, until Hungary finally regained its freedom in 1989.

The Hungarian struggle of 1956 was not an isolated event. It was part of a larger story of resistance against Soviet/Russian imperialism — the same regime that occupied the Baltic States in 1940, crushed the Prague Spring in 1968, and invaded Afghanistan in 1979.

And today, history echoes again. In 2022, Russia — the self-proclaimed successor of the Soviet Union — launched a brutal war of aggression against Ukraine, repeating the same crimes of occupation, mass murder, and terror. The ideology of domination, expansionism, and Russian supremacism that guided the Kremlin in 1956 still persists in Moscow today.

But just as in 1956, there are those who refuse to bow to tyranny. The Hungarian Revolution reminds us that the desire for freedom is stronger than any tank, stronger than any empire. It reminds us that liberty demands courage — and that silence in the face of oppression is complicity.

So let us honor the memory of the heroes of 1956 not only with words, but with commitment — commitment to stand with the victims of aggression, to defend democracy, and to ensure that darkness and oppression never prevail over the light of freedom.

GLORIA VICTIS / Glory to the heroes of 1956! Glory to all who fight for freedom!

Today marks the 2nd anniversary of one of the darkest days in recent memory — the October 7, 2023 attacks committed by Hamas. On that day, innocent lives were stolen. Families were torn apart. The terrorists of Hamas have murdered over a thousand people in cold blood, hundreds were taken hostage into the Gaza Strip, many of whom still remain missing or dead, their fates left unknown or unspeakable. These were not soldiers. These were children, women, the elderly — civilians — caught in the crosshairs of inhumanity.

Let it be clear: Hamas is a terrorist organization. Since illegally and violently seizing control of the Gaza Strip in 2007, it has ruled through fear, repression, and fundamentalism. Its ideology — rooted in Islamic extremism — has suffocated the more than 2 million Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip under its control and used them as human shields in pursuit of its violent goals. The massacre of October 7 was not an act of liberation; it was an act of mass murder.

But we must also say this — truthfully, courageously, and compassionately: the suffering did not begin in October 7, 2023.

For decades, Palestinians have lived under the crushing weight of occupation, displacement, and apartheid, imposed on them by the State of Israel since it’s formation in 1948. After the Six-Days-War from 1967 onward — especially until 1988 — Israeli policies in the occupied territories have systematically denied basic human rights to millions of Palestinians. And even as of today, illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank continue to expand, cutting through any hopes for peace. Palestinians face checkpoints, curfews, restriction of movement, lack of access to certain basic essentials and increasing everyday discrimination. Generations have been born into a system where they are treated as second-class — or no-class — citizens.

The Israeli leaderships throught the history since 1948 bears deep responsibility for fueling the conditions that have led to this enduring conflict. The dream of a peaceful, democratic homeland for the Jewish, Christian and Muslim people was undermined by Israel’s policies of occupation, expansionism, and marginalization of the Palestinian people. Every stone laid for an illegal settlement has also laid the foundation for more resentment, more extremism, more bloodshed.

And now, we find ourselves in the middle of another humanitarian catastrophe. Since October 2023, the Gaza Strip has become a graveyard. The Israeli military campaign — justified by the need to dismantle Hamas — has gone far beyond its stated goals. Tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians — overwhelmingly women and children — have died. Hospitals and schools have been bombed. Aid convoys turned away. Families obliterated. Neighborhoods wiped from the map. The blockade of the Gaza Strip by the IDF has led to a widespread famine among the residents of Gaza. This is not just war. This is a genocide — committed not by one side alone, but through the mutual destruction waged by the Israeli government under the leadership of Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas leadership alike.

Let me be absolutely clear: Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas are two sides of the same coin — leaders who thrive on division, hatred, and bloodshed. Both Netanyahu and the leaders of Hamas are wanted by the ICC for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Their policies are genocidal. Their legacies are soaked in the tears of those who never picked up a weapon.

So what must the world do?

We must demand the end of the genocide in the Gaza Strip. We must call for the release of all remaining hostages held in Gaza. We must open every channel for humanitarian aid to flow freely into Gaza. We must hold war criminals — on both sides — accountable in international courts. We must end the occupation. We must dismantle the Israeli apartheid. And we must recognize the humanity of every Israeli and every Palestinian, equally, without exception.

The future must not be written in blood. It must be written in justice.

We remember the Israelis who were murdered in their homes, at a music festival, or taken as hostages.
We remember the Palestinians whose lives have been erased from the sky, from the ground, from the silence of the world.
We remember the children — on both sides — who never had a chance to grow up in peace.
We remember the families, who will never be whole again.

May their memory be a blessing.
May their deaths not be in vain.
And may we find, somehow, the courage to end this cycle — not with more vengeance, but with justice and dignity for all.

Everyone, who read my post should now take a moment to remember the victims of the October 7 attacks and of the massacre in Gaza, that has followed.
