Death, you should definantly get wii fit. I'm honestly kind of suprised you don't already have it to help yourself keep in shape at home. But then again some of us in this world are blessed with drop dead sexy good looking bodies. :p I wish I could be one of those people.

Anyways the point for me posting today. I'm going to probably be gone for about a week. My blackberry fried itself. I'm having to send it in for the warranty and all that. So until I get my replacement I am going to not be checking this because the browser in my loaner phone sucks. But I do have yahoo. So feel free to message me on yahoo. If I don't answer, question the time zone difference.

Ok. So I'm going to go now. I'll miss you all. :( I'm going to go read Dracula, Poe, or try to get a lot of knitting done. Don't let me miss too much Drama. And I hope everyones lives keep going great. Even mine. I've felt pretty good the last few days. Maybe I'm done crying....Maybe.

You always use your mobile to post, here? That is a bit funny; so do I. Although I don't even have a working computer, right now. I just haven't really felt a need to get a new one after the old one was fried by lightning. However, I am putting a new one together, right now, and it should be done soon. Normally, it's not exactly difficult to put a computer together, but I have some rather special wishes on how it should be so it takes a bit more effort, unfortunately.

Knitting is good. I wish I could do it, as well. Glad to hear you're doing better. :B Sorry about the mobile, though. :(


I would be bored if I had wii fit. It would be like, not really a game but not really exercise either

I agree, it does seem kind of boring and unintensive. Better with the Punch Out game, then, instead, or Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort. But maybe it's kind of okay, after all, and anyway, that snowboarding game that Ceilidh mentioned, that I can use the balance board with, as well, does seem like a lot of fun... and if it helps me to learn snowboarding, that's really just awesome.

Nice cartoon strip. :p

I got my new mobile today. I think I have gotten everything set on it - apps, contacts, ringtones.

Death, I too find it slightly funny. I didn't always used to use my phone to post, only since I moved. Because the internet where I live is slow. Very slow. I also was wondering how you were so quick to reply lately. I guess that new information corrects my assumption of you using a computer.

And once again I am not doing so good. I've been having these vivid realistic dreams. They kind of make me question my current reality and what the subconscious meaning of the dreams are, and also if they might come true.

Also more personal life drama has happened that just makes what was initially the reason for my previously posted sadness even worse. "I'm sorry my situation was an inconvience to you." - is how I look at it; like they just want to take the knife that is already in my aching heart and twist it until there is nothing left of me.

Sigh. My life sucks and then it gets worse.

Sorry you're doing so poorly. :/ I have to admit that I don't know what has been burdening you, recently... I suppose you had been talking about it before I came here and shared my problems. Doesn't sound very good through the way you describe it, though. :/ Do you think talking about it would be able to make any difference? Unless you already did. I might not always be the best person to talk to about one's problems, though; I have kind of extremist views in many regards...

I think you should try not to read too much into your dreams - especially not when you aren't doing well. I personally often have very realistic dreams, and I've even had dreams that have foretold the future, and although those prophetic dreams have foretold really specific, unique events, the events that were foretold were pretty much at random. Most probably it's just things that you presently fear may happen that you dream about... have you had many really specific, prophetic dreams, before, about unique events? If not, it shouldn't be relevant what happens in those dreams.

Ceilidh, I'm sorry to hear you're struggling. Just keep putting one foot in front of another and things will get better. Honestly.

There's a Roman author who talks about two different kinds of dreams. Some dreams go out through the Gate of Ivory; these are false and meaningless dreams. Some few go out through the Gate of Horn; these are true and meaningful dreams. I've always liked this as a way to talk about dreams.

Most dreams are ivory dreams, meaningless static that your brain tosses up, based on the random stuff going on in your life and things you're thinking about. These are dreams that just seem goofy, like walking into a room and your mother and William Shatner are talking about redecorating the kitchen with anchovies. And at the time this seems like a really good idea, and then you wake up and the dream makes no sense and half an hour later you have trouble remembering any of the details.

But some dreams are horn dreams, dreams in which your subconscious mind is trying to process some issue and communicate it to you. But because your subconscious mind is doesn't connect directly to your conscious mind, it can't tell you that you're feeling unhappy because you've put on weight, and so instead you wind up dreaming about that cheerleader from high school who always used to say mean things to you, and she's your boss, and she's telling you that you really ought to give up your catering business because you're not very good at it and anyway that favorite dress of yours doesn't fit anymore so you can't wear it to go out tonight, but that's ok, because when you get to the nightclub, nobody's there anyway and you realize that the club closed years ago and all the cool people go to a new club, but you can't find the address. And when you wake up, the dream stays with you and that afternoon you find yourself remembering exactly how it felt when you tried on that favorite dress in the dream and it made you feel fat.

So if you're having dreams that keep coming back to you after you've been awake for a while, it probably means that your subconscious mind is processing something, some issue in your life, or something you're having trouble with but haven't figured out yet. The subconscious mind often figures things out before the conscious mind--it's very good at problem solving and seeing what's really going on. But the subconscious mind doesn't know the future any more than you do. It can often see where you're headed and what sort of choices you're going to be making, but it can't predict what you yourself don't actually know.

My advice is to poke at the dreams a little bit. Look for patterns, things that keep recurring in the same dream, or in multiple dreams. If you keep dreaming about people you miss, that's a pattern worth thinking about. Look for symbols, since dreams are almost always indirect expressions of things. So dreaming about your childhood home might mean that you're struggling with stuff that happened as a child, or you're longing for a moment when you security or happiness, or whatever else your old home might symbolize for you.

I can't help but try to read into my dreams. It is normal for me to not dream. In the past - I remember having dreams where 5 year old me was in a car accident with my grandfather, who was driving his old truck with me riding passenger and he had a stroke. It was so realistic at that time that the only way I know it didn't happen was because his truck is still in one piece. Another was where I was running for my life down a street in my neighborhood, chasing me was a pack of invisible wolves. You could only make out their foot prints and they were nipping and clawing at me. Another was a dream that I was in a white dress, "my dream dress," and I was getting married, about to walk down the isle. I had that dream months before I was asked...and a lot of the details from it, was how I wanted my wedding to be.

My current dreams are real like that - they have real people and events play out in them. The first one I had I dreamt I woke up in my current living arrangements and my in laws's relatives were in-like my hubbys uncles and aunts from his mom and dad's side. I ended up randomly hugging my (in-real-life) male roomate and starting to cry - because of my current IRL problems, and I just wanted a hug and cry. He just holds me while I cry and a few minuets later his fiancé (my also IRL roommate) joins the hug. And I remember patting her hand in thanks. When I was done crying I asked them if they wanted to watch tv with me. Most specifically old christmas movies, because nothing can go wrong in old xmas movies - xmas and snow are just magical, happiness - like "its a wonderful life," "miracle on 34th street," "the santa clause series" and "rudolf's shiny new year". He agreed to watch movies with me. Then I proceeded to point to my bed and informed him "I'll be watching them in there because I'll be damned if I am going to face any of them (the inlaws) today"

The second dream I had - I was running back and forth between my aunt and my cousin (who works for a vocational school) I was explaining to my aunt my sudden
