... scientists, researchers, teachers, who in turn have disseminated this information to the common people, but while doing so they have added thier own baggage to it. Information has been controlled, censored and made 'correct' for the common man, for you and for me.

Annexation In Texas - The Basi
... As this statement suggests, we were the formational creation from many states into one consistent union.
Annexation works pretty much the same way, in that a larger body envelops and consumes the smaller one into itself, so that the larger may prosper. As could be said of the residents in our own city of Houston, Bellaire was only recently annexed to the dismay and objection of its citizens.

Often this realization is triggered by the dreamer noticing some impossible or unlikely occurrence in the dream, such as meeting a person who is dead, or flying with or without wings.
