Dreamed last night. One dream was about snakes. I lived in a house in a wooded area. On the next parcel, there was another house. A woman lived there with her kids and husband. One day, I walked onto their property and noticed that the soil was marshy and damp. It seemed like everywhere I stepped I encountered squishy wet soil. As I looked closely, I saw that the ground was filled with snakes. They were sticking up out of the mud, were entwined in bushes and shrubs, and were slithering about everywhere.

I saw the woman hacking away at something in the underbrush. As I approached her, I could see that she had been killing some of the snakes. Headless bodies were scattered about, some bodies were still sticking up out of the mud, but with the heads chopped off. I asked her if she had to do this a lot. She acknowledged that is was nearly a full time effort to keep the snakes at bay and away from her house.

I was struck by the darkness and dampness of her property. My property was bright, sunny and had no water-filled soil like hers. I returned to my property and was glad to leave her dreary plot of ground.

In a second dream, I was working with a group of young men. We were encoding some form of software program that was going to operate on the Internet. We were all specialists and had specific roles to play on the project team. We would meet at this diner for meals. It was called something like the "Whiteway Diner." It was like an old Dairy Queen or Foster's Freeze, with booths and full service--not just walk up. When we met, we ate enormous amounts of food. When we finished eating, we'd head back to the project office and put in another work shift. We never slept. We just ate and worked, ate and worked, in a never-ending cycle.

In a third dream, I was back in my place in the woods. I was on a road or path that skirted the snake woman's house. As I walked past, with two of my kids, I saw the husband come to the front door and accept a package from a delivery man. The husband was signing for the package. I thought it would be a good time for me to say something to him about the snakes. But, then I thought more about it and decided that he must already know. There was no need to talk with him about it. So I went on my way, trailing my kids as they ran ahead.

Got up and went to the beach this morning. Beautiful weather over there. I felt somewhat tense as I drove there and back, and never really settled down when I was there. Not sure if that was from the medication or my own state of mind--or both. Even being distracted, it was nice to walk the beach, watch the waves, and whisper into the winds.

Stopped at a Hawaiian Grill place and had an ahi sandwich. Ample serving of ahi with the standard macaroni salad. They had several HI-style dishes on the menu, but wasn't up to a giant plate of food for breakfast.

Came back over the hill and went for another walk around the neighborhood. After doing a walkabout, I came back home and sat for nearly an hour. I dozed off during part of the sitting, but did get in some still time.

I'm glad I decided to postpone apartment hunting. Feels less stressful not having that in the back of my thoughts--have enough stuff back there already. Like my left eye starting to twitch--a rapid back and forth movement of the eye itself. Strange! Is it that my glasses are out of whack or is it my nervous system? Is this something else or is it related to my arm spasms? Does the universe have an explanation or is it an unknowable mystery? Where am I headed? How will I know when I get where I'm supposed to be? Why am I asking myself these silly questions? Why not?

Got pretty bogged down in the String Theory book after just a few pages. Too much mathematics for the average reader. Need a String Theory for Dummies book with minimal math and lots of images, if that's even possible. 10 or 11 dimensions make it somewhat difficult to sketch meaningful illustrations. But, it can possibly be done.

The Universe on a T-shirt book was really well done. He kept it simple and didn't dive off the mathematical cliffs into n-space and beyond. The String Theory book is for an undergraduate course on the subject--you just have to be a very smart undergraduate and be very fluent in mathematics. Right now, I need to be focusing on Quantum Healing as well as Quantum Mechanics. A little bit of both.
