But I do agree that dreams are the brain's attempt to sort things out -- not sure about the cohesive story part. Not for me anyway.<BR/><BR/>My youngest sister read this [I still need to call her] and sent me an email with her dream interpretation. It was pretty funny. And a bit scary how well she knows me. I don't think she'd care if I shared a part of it:<BR/><BR/><I>- You need me to visit you and tell you funny, uplifting and reassuring stories.<BR/>- We need to go to the beach.<BR/>- Mom needs to come pack up your belongings and clean your house.</I><BR/><BR/>LOL! So true. Well, except maybe that last part. <BR/>I sent her a reply: All offers accepted.BCBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03073904727232797021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34518678.post-17818814044778050522008-03-03T17:29:00.000-05:002008-03-03T17:29:00.000-05:00Fascinating.

It's all a big mess inside the head and while we are sleeping the subconscious tried to sort it all out. The dream story is an attempt to pull all those separate images into a cohesive story. A bit like a flip book, or maybe Mad libs.<BR/><BR/>In any case, I'd say there was a lot of stuff that had been on your mind during the day.McBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01437136297944260051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34518678.post-37532859268884777312008-03-01T16:04:00.000-05:002008-03-01T16:04:00.000-05:00Well, today is the first day of the current episod...Well, today is the first day of the current episode of the 70 day challenge, if you're interested.

That might explain things.<BR/><BR/>I guess I'll have to find a few of Magritte's paintings. This dream was just one of those weird things that when I woke up I thought, <I>I need to write this down</I>, and then once I had, I thought, <I>might as well post it.</I> So I did.<BR/><BR/>I'm actually having a tough time keeping my mouth shut today. Must be the curse of the writer: the compelling need to write and be heard. Even if it means nothing and makes no sense. Maybe especially then.BCBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03073904727232797021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34518678.post-71766148316911490272008-03-01T14:41:00.000-05:002008-03-01T14:41:00.000-05:00I found a website that purported to explain dream ...I found a website that purported to explain dream symbols. When I looked into the symbols explained, I saw that the site offered an explanation of what it Really Meant if you dreamt about lentils. I'm not sure why anyone would dream about lentils, but if they do I'd rather not know what's behind the beans.<BR/><BR/>bqbxqsq - sums it up rather nicely, I think.The Merryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09660495393832517684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34518678.post-34540326386320645982008-03-01T14:29:00.000-05:002008-03-01T14:29:00.000-05:00Confusing, but certainly not dull.I love the way d...Confusing, but certainly not dull.<BR/>I love the way dreams can reach out and grab us emotionally even though they're not at home to Mr. Logic.<BR/><BR/>And I have this wonderful picture in my mind now of your sister sleeping in a bed designed by Magritte, with the head resting in a drawer.(Definitely you should call your sister.)<BR/><BR/>The trouble is that I love the surreal mind trips that I take in dreams, but when I wake up I want them to Make Sense and my left brain keeps trying to rationalize the imagery until I end up with a headache.<BR/><BR/>Got any aspirin?<BR/><BR/><BR/><I>My painting is visible images which conceal nothing; they evoke mystery and, indeed, when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question, 'What does that mean?'.
