Today was a quiet day. Seemed like everyone is out and about. I slept in this morning, went out for a while, and then went back to sleep for several hours. I kept trying to get up and do something but sleep won out. I feel really rested this evening. I've been practicing doing memory tricks such as--saying the alphabet backwards, recalling Pi to 50 places, and remembering the Major Arcana in the tarot deck. Beats sleeping! But it is a bit strange as well!

Dreamed last night that I was in a major metropolitan city. The skyline was somewhat like NY but altered so that there was a network of roads across the city at about the 15th floor level. At this level there were regular streets that went across and through buildings and bridged over the open spaces between buildings. It made for a lively and brightly lit scene, especially if I was on a sidewalk of one of the upper streets. Along the walkways at the upper levels there were stores and street level apartments. I was visiting the city and was in one of the apartments on one of the upper streets. The views from the place were spectacular. The place where I was in had a non-stop party going on all the time. There were people who lived in the place and lots of guests/friends. Everyone was friendly and having a good time. At one point, I had had enough of the party and went and crashed in a bedroom. The windows in the room looked out onto the street at that upper level. There were curtains and blinds if I wanted to shut out the street scene (cars, people, shops, and such). I had a clear sense of just visiting the place and not ever staying there permanently. It felt good to be there though.

Holiday tomorrow! Will see the H's but no classes! Another day of rest!
