Reality is relatively infinite compared to our brain capacity, which means it comes at us like a fire hose. Our brains shelter us from 99% of perception reality just so we can keep our sanity. When our subconscious introduces information we may need that we have missed it comes in dreams which are often disturbing. The illusion of our "self" and knowing what is going on around us is very important to us.
We are like a iceberg with a small part at the top in our awareness and the vast bulk below the water line. Outsiders see the whole iceberg, and sometimes when they share parts of us that we do not see it can be disturbing.
Gleaning information from it is good. Forcing ourselves to absorb too much self-knowledge is damaging. So you pick and choose your responses between those poles.
The Question
