I learned to dream consciously, like, if I was being chased by some monstrous entity I would take charge, remind myself that it was a dream, my dream, and I'd provide myself with a motorcycle to get away. Or switch from being chased to just observing the monsters. <BR/><BR/>Now I've forgotten how to do all that. Now if I have a nightmare I'm just stuck with it. I have some beaut's too, some are quite disturbing. But I still enjoy them.

I haven't been concious of the dream state in quite a while. I'm trusting you on this. <BR/>By the way: I meant to tell you that your mention of the "You Are Dumb" blog was a great choice. For political humor, may I suggest www.sadlyno.com? (I'll warn you: they do pick on right wingers alot)There is a curmudgeon out of the Mid West goes by the name of DogHouse Riley that I recommend, as well. doghouseriley.blogspot.com.<BR/>nanuteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058711831772256734.post-66542315718306583732009-01-05T03:09:00.000-08:002009-01-05T03:09:00.000-08:00When I lay down to sleep, rather than rehash the d...When I lay down to sleep, rather than rehash the days events with dispair I imagine a large piston engine fighter plane, usually a P-47 Thunderbolt, firing up the engine, rolling up to the runway and taking off into the clouds. It's a noisy, powerful image, and it shuts me straight the fuck up. <BR/><BR/>During the day I try to keep my eyes filled up with wonder, quite easy here in Thailand.fred chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10812811681270634366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058711831772256734.post-40812159997075417372009-01-05T01:53:00.000-08:002009-01-05T01:53:00.000-08:00Thinking in images!

(Additionally, I find that it helps to fill one's mind with images and to avoid thinking in words.)<BR/><BR/>Good luck with that, and thank you for your kindness.fred chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10812811681270634366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058711831772256734.post-4220221113699920872009-01-04T07:41:00.000-08:002009-01-04T07:41:00.000-08:00Fred:I'm usually reluctant to comment publicy. My ...Fred:<BR/>I'm usually reluctant to comment publicy. My vocabulary is adequate.Grammar and the like is suspect. I tend to write as I speak, and as a result, I use a lot of double negatives, and general sentence sturcture errors. My style is more intuitive, than proper. In spite of these shortcomings, I felt compelled to reply to this post.<BR/><BR/>I suspect that your caring nature is what drives you "crazy." (Does the period go inside or outside the quote)? Or perhaps it is a result of a strict Catholic influence during one's formative years? I'm not trying to be analyitical here; just curious. <BR/><BR/>I go through long bouts of depression, and a sense of helplesness. My solution,(not helpful), is that I sleep and drink more than is "normal". This dulls the senses, and allows one to escape that constanst inner voice, and perception, that is always pointing out the injustice in everyday humankind.<BR/><BR/>I have always considered myself to be an optimist by nature. And yet, as time, age and "wisdom" has accumulated, reality tells me that the human condition is on the decline. I can't change it, and neither can you, my friend. But as long as I'm living and breathing, I'll continue to try and make a difference by being kinds to strangers and the less fortunate than I, and to take comfort in the closeness of family and friends. <BR/><BR/>I'll remain anonymous on this one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
