6128

Curious dreams last night. One dream involved me and a woman. We were living together. When we had moved in with each other, I had dumped a lot of things I owned and no longer wanted with a junk dealer. She had taken everything I'd delivered, sorted through what was there, and put some of it up for sale. It was now years later and the place we lived in was stark and had minimal furniture, minimal everything. The woman I was living with said that I needed to retrieve some of the stuff I had dumped. I wasn't that enthusiastic about reclaiming my old items. However, we ended up at the junk store where we sorted through piles of objects and pulled out my old things. In the end, we paid the woman for a collection of my previous possessions.

A second dream involved working with a person who was in one of my old companies. I was working with him to create a document that was outlining some form of technical process. There was a scene in the dream where we were looking at a draft of report. It had been written on a type of "smart paper" that worked something like a computer screen. We were making edits and corrections, which were instantly recorded on the "smart paper" views.

I had a third dream when I took a nap today. It involved two kids, like M's twins, and a woman. We were in a house near a forest. There were gates on the doors so the kids couldn't wander out into the yard. At some point, a deer came walking down the street. It was having difficulty walking and was stumbling and moving in spasms and jerks. Soon there was another deer moving up the road. This one had been mutilated. It had no head and was missing a foreleg. A third one moved forward. It too had been mutilated. I remember thinking of who down the road might be doing something like this. As the deer began appearing, I had stepped outside, but had forgotten to shut the door gates. It was possible for the kids to come outside and see the deer. When I realized what I'd done, I hurried back to assure that the doors were gated and to let the woman know that the kids should be kept indoors. The dream was shocking and graphic.

Made the journey to Livermore last night. M's and C's twins have really grown. They are a trip together. Busy decoding the mysterious world and the strange people who had invaded their space. They are walking and mobile. Everything in the house was locked and gated--hence the dream details in my napping dream.

Went to the chiropractor this morning. Am still having problems with knee, hip, leg on the right side. The chiropractor did an adjustment on my foot that seemed to unlock a tension in that leg. Dance class tonight. Felt good on Tuesday. Will see if that carries over to tonight's activities.

Finished the Blink book last night--which kept me up late and prompted my nap this afternoon. Still reading Power Healing and a set of Cuban stories. My library table is full. Have some more Munro stories and have not yet opened the new Qigong tome.

Seems to be a correlation between my food intake and my mind states. I can't skip a meal without feeling out of whack. I have to eat every 3 or so hours, even if it's just a yogurt and banana. I feel like I have to graze to keep things balanced. The type of food doesn't seem to make that much difference--just need food on a regular basis. Although, I do seem to be craving high protein foods over heavy carbohydrates.

Dance tonight and then yoga tomorrow, and then the weekend begins. Weekends no longer mean that much to me--just another set of consecutive days punctuated by club dances, trips to the beach, meals, movies, laundry, and so on. The days glaze, merge, and overlap. Leaving a constant flow of dreams.
