Dreamed that I was helping to develop a type of electronic book that helped kids learn mathematics. The pages were laid out with 6-8 objects on each page. The kids could cause any two objects to be highlighted and brought into sharp focus. Images on the page were normally grayed back until they were selected and highlighted. When chosen, the images became fully colored and bright, and were brought into sharp focus.

The kids were actively engaged with the pages. As I and other monitors walked around the room, we only needed to intercede occasionally to answer questions or make suggestions.

A second dream involved a Memphis friend, RS. We were in his plane and flying to a campground where there were some men's team activities underway. We had some excitement in making a landing. We had to dodge some power lines, some trees, and we ended up screeching to a stop as we almost drifted into a fence.

The men's teams had just finished a fish cleaning contest. Our team was sitting in a cleaning tub and looked really tired and fatigued. I remarked that their sad faces would make a funny photograph. RS and I were ready to join in, but there was no much for us to do. The team had completed their set of tasks and were taking a break.

Today was a light day in terms of shaking and tremors. The symptoms are still present, but muted today. Read a lot about Essential Tremor (ET) last night and am beginning to wonder if I don't have that condition, rather than PD. There are some anomalies with both diagnoses--I don't have all of the PD symptoms, just as I don't have all of the classic ET symptoms--but the ET fit makes sense if the PD medication isn't producing effects, which seems to be the case.

Less than two weeks until I visit the doctor and then the neurologist--and hopefully have some better idea of what's going on. I did Qigong today (which does affect the symptoms to some degree) and have/will again meditate, which also moderates the symptoms.

Staying quiet and relaxed is definitely helping with the whole process. Let there be stillness--let there be light!

Dance class tonight--another way to sail!
