Had a C&M class today and felt the better for doing so. I have to find some activity for the weekends--doing nothing (other than laundry) really physical doesn't seem to work. Need to keep pumping or moving or dancing or something to keep the system churning. Have PD dance and resistance training sessions tomorrow--looking forward to them. Had an email from Tuina practitioner letting me know he had an open slot on this coming Friday. That will help bridge the weekend and mellow out my stresses from Thursday dental work (installation of a permanent cap).

I'm reading a SF novel about a person who cannot move any of his physical body but his mind is not only intact--it's supercharged. Based on some of the topics in the novel I dreamed last night a couple of dreams dealing with travel to the future, spacewalking, and other dream topics. In the dream about traveling to the future I was discussing with another person what would happen if someone made a journey into the future. Would there be any cosmic anomalies if the person didn't go back to where he/she came from? Would staying in the future cause some form of break in the continuity of things?

In the spacewalking dream, I was part of a team of astronauts who were being sent up to the International Space Station to perform a set of repairs, some of which involved spacewalks. We were preparing for the tasks by simulating what had to be done, in detail, before we were to be launched. There were several tools and mechanical devices that had to be mastered and that would be used when we were in space.

I also had short dream about not being able move--it was an episode of freezing--which has never happened to me. In the dream, I managed to get moving again but the overall sensation was disturbing.

After C&M class today and reading to GH for a spell, I came home and dropped off to sleep despite the heat. Watched a film this evening--The Iron Lady. It's a part fiction/part fact treatment of Margaret Thatcher--her life and influence as the first female Prime Minister of the UK. It takes the viewer on a journey through some of her early years, her forays into politics, her ascendancy to head of her party, some of her tough decisions she had to make, and her ultimate decline in both the political arena as well as with her own elderly mental challenges. Meryl Streep played the senior Thatcher (for which she won an Oscar) and was supported by an amazing job in the makeup department (which also garnered a second Oscar). Streep was awesome! She was the Iron Lady!
