There are some interesting blogs out there. "My Bladder Cancer Journey." "CumLover." There is one dedicated to the Red Sox win on Wednesday.
Anyway, I just got back from a four problem math quiz. The teacher showed us the answers after and I got one of them right. I should have gotten two because I made a stupid mistake on the last one. And another one I should have gotten too. But the first one I had no idea. So that's great. Yeah, 2pi/3 goes over.... there. Not here.
Bradley update: I slept through English today. I didn't get much sleep last night and I was way too tired.
I have been dreaming very strongly lately. I had a dream that I caught a murderer in the act, and he tried to kill me. But I escaped and took pictures of him with my new cell phone. I gave them to the police. (It actually wasn't murder, it was something else.)
My mom showed me a short little article in one of her magazines about dreams and what they mean. They are supposed to be images and feelings that you link from your past into feelings you have presently. They illustrate your anxieties. Dreams show that you are in touch with your emotions. Well, yes, I am very in touch with my emotions. My mom says she never remembers her dreams. I think she is lucky. They just rob you of sleep and put awkward, uncomfortable images into your head. I've never had a "good" dream. I don't like dreams.
I have recurring dreams about sharks and large bodies of water. They are not fun.
What are some common dreams you have? Are there any that stick out to you as particularly strange or bad?
Last night I watched Final Destination 2 on the Sci Fi channel. It was about a girl who foresaw a major car accident on the freeway and she ended up saving a whole bunch of people by avoiding it. But then all the people she saved started dying off in creative ways, because they messed up "death's plan." Saturday is a movie called "Headless Horseman" and my mom and I are going to watch that.
I sort of missed some of the movie because my mom and I were text messaging each other. We were sitting right next to each other. That is how we entertain ourselves. I've decided I am going to make real live friends at Las Po, so I can talk to them on my cell phone. That would be nice.
I am really glad it's Friday. But who isn't? There is no game on tonight because the guys are traveling to Colorado. Hopefully being home will bring some life into the Rockies and hopefully they will cream the Red Sox.
I also had a test in physics and bio. They were ok. I didn't study for them very much.
My GED test scores should come in the mail by next Friday. So on Monday I'll tell my counselor and then it's up to the administrators to file some paper work. I don't see why I have to be in class while they do this, though. But it's not a big deal anyway.
I am going to have some pizza now. And I'm going to play with my cell phone.

I have very vivid dreams and always have... some of my dreams, from years ago, are still very much in my mind, and I will share them with you when I see you... my dreams have played a large part in my learning about myself. You could find a book about dreams.. don't take them too literally, the figures and events in them are just symbols of people and events in your awake life... you are usually the central character, even if you don't recognize yourself.
Joel was interested in dreams at one time, and learned how to influence his dreams... he can explain it to you.
Don't feel sorry that you dream, I think it is a sign of a very intelligent and interesting mind... :)
Yeah, I have lots of dreams! Some of them are pretty stressful. Lots of anxiety dreams. It's funny you should mention sharks, G, because I used to have recurring dreams about large predators chasing me. Very often I'd be just out of their reach, and they'd be jumping up and snapping at my feet. Bears, wolves, and yeah....sharks. They never actually catch me though. I once had a dream about evil cows. Sounds funny, but I wasn't laughing in the dream. Makes me look at milk in a whole new light.
I still have nightmares that wake me up terrified, but I often can't remember them. When I do, the dreams themselves aren't particularly scary, but they're infused with a fog of sheer terror. Not fun.
The technique grammy mentioned is called "lucid dreaming." It was (is being?) developed at the Stanford University Sleep Research Center. It's a technique whereby you become fully lucid and aware within your dream, and gain a certain amount of control of the dream. It's been used for various kinds of therapy with varying degrees of success. It is very difficult to learn, for most people. Many people never manage to do it. It takes a lot of training and a lot of time. I read the book written by the doctor in charge of the project, and started the exercises, but I never managed to deliberately pull it off. I did, just once, become lucid in-dream by accident, and as is often the case, woke up almost immediately after.
Anyway, as crazy and creepy as my dreams can be, I always look forward to seeing what the next one will be...
Footnote: If you're interested, the book I was referring to is called, appropriately enough, "Lucid Dreaming".
