Dreams last night! Dreamed that I was on a trek along a high mountain area. We had left the base camp and had travelled quite a distance with some good vertical ascent. We were stopping for the evening and pitching camp. I went a bit further along the trail and found a natural overhang that provided cover. The others camped out back along the trail in much more exposed spots. One of the climbers realized that he had left his notebooks at a rest stop we had made that day. There was just about enough light to go back and retrieve the notebooks. He elected not to go back. I was feeling like I should volunteer to return since I was nominally the trek leader, but I didn't say anything and let it go.

Later the dream was in a house. There was some danger (like an explosive) hidden somewhere in the house. As we walked around, we could trigger the hidden item and cause a lot of damage. We carefully explored the place, but found nothing that would cause a problem. There was some of the same atmosphere in both dreams--a feeling of unresolved tension that permeated the dream scene.

It was laundry day today. Was a bit cool when I went out to do the laundry so experienced some shaking, but not a lot. Overall, symptoms were somewhat quiet today. Had a hearty soup for lunch. Ate with JVR, who happened to be at the cafe when I arrived. He really gets out and about even though he's in a wheelchair (a very fancy one that has all kinds of special features). We talked some about longevity--he's 65 and admits he never expected to live as long as he has. He experiences a fair amount of pain, which he moderates with pain relievers that he injects himself. His mother is still alive and he ends up handling things for her even though she lives in Texas. He's quite a person--very active and very much an activist.

Have an acupressure session in the morrow. They had a pipe break and the place was flooded this morning. A front room escaped a lot of the deluge so we'll work in there tomorrow. A change of scenery!
