Watched the movie Slacker today. It is a Dogme 95-style film that was made in the USA. It was made with natural light using hand-held cameras, and so forth. The film followed a thread of people interactions, branching off with each new encounter to track the newest subject. It was like a journey through many people's encounters as they ricocheted off of each other. A sort of slice of life where the slice was made across a collection of "slackers" who were killing time with their idiosyncratic pursuits.

BH made a tasty lunch. I went to the acupressure session in the morning. When I came back from lunch/movie, I felt like sleeping. I conked out for several hours. Almost didn't wake up. When I did awaken, I thought it was Saturday morning already. Took me a while to realize that it was still Friday. I felt completely disoriented until I sorted out the actual time.

Dreamed last night a pair of dreams. One involved being near a river. I, as an adult, was looking for me, as a child. The child me was out on the river fishing. The child me was in a boat with a man who was like a father. On the shore, the adult me was searching for the boat. There seemed to be some type of problem that I was trying to resolve by finding the boat.

A second dream found me in a gathering of many people. Most of the people were my relatives. There were others who were friends. We were all together in a primitive village. We were arranged into groups. Each group was arranged in lines and columns, forming large rectangles of bodies when viewed from above. The various groups were moving back and forth like large rectangles floating toward and away from each other. Everyone was dressed in white, flowing outfits. It was like there was some type of celebration underway. I was in one of the groups, but was also hovering above the area getting an overview of the activities.

I think the dreams were triggered by me receiving my "spit kit" for genome testing and by me exploring the 23andme site's various PD community features. The site definitely made me think of "ancestors" and genetic connections. Will send in my kit on Monday. Meanwhile, it's tax time!
