Dreams | of living spaces | darkness and shadows | rich detailed dreams |

Had difficulty getting quiet last night, but must have finally done so since dreams emerged. Dreamed of living in place that had six bedrooms. There was six of us living in half the space (three rooms) and the other rooms were empty. Dream dealt with finding six others to share the space. We operated like a commune and made all decisions by consensus. The three empty rooms were in better shape than the rooms we were in, but that didn't seem to affect the decision to find other tenants. The six of us that lived in the three rooms were paired couples. There were no children. We were looking for three additional couples to take the other three rooms.

A second dream had me near a train station in a shadowy part of town. It was late and I wanted to catch a train back home. I came out of a bar and realized that I was in a section of town where it was not a good idea to wander around. Two other men came out of the bar and started walking in the direction of where I thought the station was located. They noticed me, but didn't say anything directly to me. They were gay--somehow I just knew that they were. We walked along for a while and came to a place where I could see the station in the distance. I started in that direction even though the route still looked somewhat dangerous. The men split up and one of them accompanied me. He asked if I were headed for the station and I said yes. He said he would walk with me since he lived over in that direction. We walked along silently until we came to a plaza that fronted the station. He asked if I needed change for the turnstiles and I told him I had change. He wished me good night and went on his way. I felt as if he wanted to say more or hit on me, but he turned away and I headed for the train station. There was a late train running and I was there in time to catch it. I felt tension melt away as I entered the station. I got on the train and the dream ended with images flashing past the window next to me.

The shaking and tremors got really persistent last night. This was after meeting with GH, drinking some herbal tea, going to restorative yoga class, and getting the news from Santa Cruz (that we start treatments on 1/16)--which means my 1/8 departure date is now on course. Because of the hyper-symptoms, I didn't sleep really well last night (even though I dreamed and remembered them).

My friend P dropped by today and we spent a quiet couple of hours together. Was good to see her and spend some time together. I was still having more than usual symptoms most of today. A few hours ago, I drank some Sleepytime tea and dozed off for an hour. Then I went out and grabbed a meal (Chinese food) and came back to write this post. Things seem fairly still right now. I seem to be settling down some. The hyper-symptoms were strange given what I did yesterday (things that normally quiet me down).

I printed out the directions and maps to the various treatment locations. As expected, the locations are squirreled away in odd twists and turns. The directions to two of the places read like adventure instructions. I think I puzzled them out, but will dry run finding each place next week. Plenty to get done before the 16th arrives.

I keep looking at putting more and more stuff in the storage locker--rather than cart it over the hill and then have to cart it back. I have mostly (still too much) clothing. If it were summer, I could get by with almost nothing, but summer is still a few months away. Final cuts are being made over the next two days.

Then it will be time to snooze in Santa Cruz (Holy Cross)!
