The above was punctuated by my elaborating questions (like “where did you learn that” and “did they say that on the show” – I don’t remember what all I asked and where).
My theory is this is a five year old theorizing about deja vu experiences? But wow anyway–“the present is the future” and “the earth is dreaming?”
Possibly we’re raising the next great Prophet.
Smart kid–setting up an insanity defense at such an early age! Beware, parent!
What were the 6 familiar things?
Write down or record everything he says. He will be a teen soon, you will need ammo to survive.
obviously he’s Jaden Smith.
I have no idea about the contents of DinoTrux, but this reminds me of the “Indigo Child” impressing adults while talking about Avatar: The Last Airbender.
The Earth is dreaming?
Far out man.
Do not let that spirit be silenced.
Remember the kid in Bloom County that got wierd powers by listening to Billy and the Boingers?
“Eye of newt, toad so greeny, turn this dude, into zuchinni!” And suddenly Steve Dallas was a six foot vegetable.
He’s angling for the Jerry Mathers role in a modernized remake of “The Trouble with Harry.”
Ask him if he’s ever looked at his hands. I mean, really looked at them.
It will quit dreaming and wake up when your kid has found a way to write down the nine billion names…

like 6 familiar things.
Future is present, ravines are not pleasant
Earth is stuck in dreams.
Wow, he went from “Yellow Submarine” to “Tomorrow Never Knows” faster than you can say Revolver. Sounds like he’s intuiting the Gaia Hypothesis. You might want to give him Black Elk Speaks for his sixth birthday – make it a bedtime story, if he isn’t reading on his own by then.
I just want to say that that is really cool. Encourage this. Maybe think of simple philosophical conversations you can have with him. Like, I dunno, The Ship of Theseus.
I know there are many more, but it’s late and I’m drawing blanks. Just stuff to get him thinking outside the box. We need that.
Whatever you do, don’t piss him off.
