Lol I just had a dream a couple hours ago that I went to a Burger King cause the McDonald’s was too full and I preferred Burger King and Elon Musk was in there somehow XD

Yea I guess it really left an impression on me. Since I was a kid I never really consumed anything that’s not from the US. I constantly watched Nickelodeon, went to McDonald’s multiple times a week (I was always still athletic somehow lol), and watched American late night shows. I only listen to American or Latino music. All products and online services I have are mostly American (or I try to only buy/import American products as much as possible). It always felt like the culture I could relate to if that makes sense

I guess at least half of my personality is American (or maybe I’m an alien idk)

But maybe that’s just cause America primarily dominates the western culture and I was just very receptive for it

That makes a lot of sense and I already thought something like that is probably the truth. Thanks for this wisdom!

That’s a very interesting topic that you had bigger differences within the US. I wonder how great environments between the countries differ and what the different nuances are. I used to mostly dislike the old buildings and castles in Germany (or in Europe in general) and thought they were depressing. But I seem to have a deeper connection to that (maybe because I grew up in this environment) and my dreams are often in this European/Harry Potter-style environment. I guess my subconscious can’t quite envision an American environment cause I’ve never been in one.

So in my dreams I’m often surrounded by a city with stone buildings and large walkable pedestrian areas that actually feel very warm and wholesome (even though it’s not quite the same irl). And sometimes it’s more rural places in large open spots with a bunch of people having fun (unfortunately that’s also not quite how life is really like, it’s more special in my dreams).

I wonder what environments Americans dream of like maybe more like large roads or suburban type environments. Maybe more rural/warm nature type environments. (I guess it also heavily depends where you are from like city vs rural)

It’s like I may have the longing for both America and Europe.
