A Journal to impart knowledge and facts |
July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
January 15,2021 Write about dreaming. Do they ever mean anything, or are they all meaningless? Why are they sometimes scary, emotional, silly, or prophetic? Have you had a memorable dream recently? I read a book about dream interpretation once. The book was quite insightful and reality based, however, I still don’t do dream interpretation. As a child I often had nightmares. Serious nightmares that frightened me to extremes. I remember the fear not the dreams. The night before the capitol riots on January 6, 2021, in a dream, I saw hoards of people running helter skelter in the dark on the streets and lawns of an unknown place. It was puzzling, but not particularly scary. The picture in my dream, was on the TV screen, hours later, after the police and home guard started to clear the capitol building. K was startled when I spoke up and said, “I saw that in a dream last night.” It was prophetic but, not identifiable, until the facts evolved a day later. Basically, my belief is that dreams can be all of the things mentioned in the prompt. Some people like to believe that human biological traits don’t extend into mental realms as well as physical realms. My dad used to tell about having a dream about an attack on the USA by masses of oriental people. I’ve tried to find out when he might have had that dream? He has passed on now. So, I probably won’t ever know. I personally think he may have had it just before the attack on Pearl Harbor. And, I wonder if it was brought about by the thought processes of groups of Japanese people at that time. I also read in a science paper about experiments being done about people picking up thought processes from people in other countries. In the experiment, some psychic person in the USA was able to throw a thought to another person in India. I can’t quote the source now, I think I mentioned this in a blog a couple years ago. Dreams are not so problematic if you look at it in a science based scenario |
