Detailed dreams last night, detailed and very active. Dreams came in two parts. One part had a large group of LeapFrog people queued up in a small foyer. We were waiting to make presentations of our projects. The group was sitting on the floor and tables. Everyone was talking animatedly and there was a lot of exchange being made about product concepts and ideas. Several times, I found myself offering advice on how to make something work better or in a different way.

We had all been called together quite preemptively. There was a lot of speculation as to why the executives had called this series of meetings. But, most everyone was relaxed and not stressed over the situation. The atmosphere was upbeat and lively.

In a second part of the dream, I was shown a new animation tape. It had been put together by this really young guy and involved some new, proprietary technologies. These new technologies were going to revolutionize how animations are done. Sort of like pod casting for moving images. The guy who was showing me the demo tape was really excited. He was filled with superlatives regarding what was going to happen once the technology was distributed.

Awoke from the dreams feeling invigorated and charged.
***********************************
Went to sleep last night contemplating six words: creative, prolific, compassion, healthy, courageous, and energetic. Had some trouble remembering the six words this morning, but finally brought them back to consciousness. Doing a little Mind Blink experiment. More on this at another time.

The Blink book is really absorbing. His case studies/examples are compelling. All about thinking and choosing, and how we think we think, but don't really.

Also picked up a book on Power Healing. The Qigong class will morph into a Power Healing class next term. I have to decide, soon, which path I'm going to follow--could do both with some strain.

Qigong class last night left me powered up when I got home. The class went well despite some of my links. My knee, hip, back, foot are still giving me some discomfort. But, I think I'll try dance class to night and see how I fare. May rest beforehand, if I have time.

Shuttle returns safely. Happy to hear that was the way things went this time around. Last night, I spent way too much time investigating the differences between crickets, katydids and cicadas. I've been hearing bug symphonies every night of late and was curious as to what was broadcasting a chorus of staccato notes. I think I concluded (by listening to audio samples) that the yard is infested with katydids. Songs are not melodic enough for crickets and not raucous enough for cicadas. Couldn't find an exact song match, but several hours of playing and listening seemed to point towards katydids.

Another collection of IBU (Interesting But Useless) data for my brain cells. My minifridge makes a cross between a cricket and a cicada noise. (Really IBU data--or RIBU for short).

August month is zooming by. Almost 1/3 gone already. Yet, over the past two days, time has seemed to s-l-o-w down to a snail's pace. Perhaps, I'm blending over into a alternate universe. Yeah, me and the rest of the tinfoil crowd. Who cares as long as I win the MegaMillions jackpot. I could s-l-o-w down for that event.
