*rubs eyes*

Usually for about a week a month my dreams get really primal and down to the guts of my current emotions. (draw you're own conclusions--You're probably not wrong.) This week is no exception.
I dreampt about a friend I had. We had a huge, blow-out fight in my dream that we never had while we were friends but I always wished we did--I always felt cut off, that things between us were always ended before I could even tell how I felt about it. I was just getting into the part where I was yelling about how predictable the behavior was and how shitty I felt about it when *bam!* I woke up with the credits rolling. Frustrating stuff. But realistic, really--I didn't really get any closure about it in real time, either. But at least I got some of it out, one way or another.

And the fight started around what kind of soda I wanted...and I woke up thirsty.
*sips Fresca*

Your brain is doing what it can to take care of you.

I ran to look out the conference room window. The skies are gray here but everything is dry. Some of the parking structures have the last of a snow pile that hasn't quite melted.

It's heading for you, though, I bet...just hope it runs out of gas before it gets to you.

They're only predicting rain for us, with maybe a little snow mixed in over the weekend.

Good. No reason we both have to be snowed in:)

Heehee...I do feel better about the whole thing. I think it was cathartic.

I never remember my cathartic dreams, but I usually can tell when I've had one...

They're such good things. I'm glad I remembered this one.

Things can happen in dreams that could never happen in real life (without consequences)... I guess that's a good thing ;)

can get by on 4 hours sleep if my dreams are good... I hate waking up in the middle of good dream... I think I would get more out of my dreams if I lived alone (I could jump up and write things down, or talk into a tape recorder, etc.)... Not that I want to live alone... I do enough of that when I'm on work travel... I should bring a tape recorder on the road, though...

That wouldn't be a bad idea, taking a recorder on the road with you.

I do keep a dream-diary, so of course I wrote down what I could recall of that one. And sometimes I get my best artistic inspirtion from either dreams or just before I seriously wake up...

Even chemists get inspiration from dreams... The noted French organic chemist Kékulé knew that benzene contained 6 carbons and six hydrogens, but he couldn't imagine the structure. He had a dream one night of a snake biting its own tail (very Jungian) and woke up knowing that benzene has a ring structure... Kewl, aina?

I remember hearing about that...

And various artists get The Dream...where they're in a gallery surrounded by work of their own making, but work that doesn't exist yet in reality... I've had that dream, too, a couple of times. I wish I could carry the paintings off the walls and bring them out with me instead of having to work on them from scratch:)

I haven't heard of "The Dream"... but it makes sense... Must be maddening not to be able to translate that inspiration into reasonable facsimiles of the dream gallery....

Doesn't keep any of us from trying, though...I think it's our subconcious trying to show us what we're capable of...
