I dreamed several intense, exciting dreams last night. I also awoke in the middle of the night (early morning) and lost some of the dream details, but not all. The key thing I recall was being in a river, a fast-flowing body of water. I was floating down the river, riding the currents, shooting rapids as the river became more turbulent and active. I was exhilarated and full of joy at being able to navigate barriers and shoot through narrow routes. At one point, I stopped myself and climbed out onto a rock so I could look back upstream. As I looked, I saw a man and his young son playing in the shallows of a stretch I had just traversed. The man was encouraging the boy to venture further and further out into the channel. The man just wanted his son to experience a bit of the water's rushing force. I knew that they were safe and I reentered the water and continued my journey downstream.

There were other dream elements. Some, I believe, were about being in a dense woods and chasing or running after some creature or person. I don't recall the details like I did with the river scene. In addition, there were other dream elements as well that were lost when I awoke.

Awoke last night and this morning with greatly reduced sensations of shaking. This condition held all morning and into the afternoon. It continues now as I write these notes. I ate a good breakfast and had a small lunch over the past 8 hours. No special effects from doing so (no reduction or increase of symptoms--things remain in a steady state).

No news yet on the apartment front. I've come to the conclusion that I need to find a place with a bit more room, light, space than what I have now, plus a full kitchen, etc. I need to move into a place that will support me as I start down the trail I seem to be headed. I need a place that adds no stress, but that only provides support as I figure out my next steps. I've got an appointment tonight to see a nearby cottage. I don't hold out great expectations about the suitability of the place, but staying open--might be surprised.

Tomorrow is voting day. Have to go to my old precinct near my old address. Looks like NO on lots of things. Need to start using the absentee ballots. A lot less hassle.

Final Power Healing class tonight. Wonder what is planned next. I've let my family know what's happening with me and my health. There's still uncertainty regarding the diagnosis, but there seems to be a trend that's becoming clear. I'll keep everyone apprised.
