I dreamed something about running and testing an electronic device. We were in a laboratory and the device was hooked into a network. Technicians stood behind the device and were instructed to make adjustments to settings on the device. Based on the selected settings, the device performed a variety of communication tasks. We were in a set of final testings that would certify the device for full scale operation. The mood in the dream was contained and objective. There were no particular expectations--the device would either work or not. If not, there would be more design changes and the eventual certification of the instrument.

Today, I've been on low idle--the PD group meeting yesterday left me feeling (as usual when I attend these sessions) a bit low and slow. The people in these groups exhibit such manifest symptoms and are struggling so much that I can't help but feeling more down than up when I see them. The moderator of the group does a great job of getting everyone to laugh--at his jokes and at ourselves. But, there are still the realities of what they are experiencing. I feel some kind of intense frustration after being with everyone there.

Tomorrow's session should be reminiscent of the times I went to the PD dance class in the Bay Area. Right now, I'm still feeling low and slow though. Hopefully, this too will pass and I'll get up and out to the class in the morrow. Let it be so! Let it be so!
