Lists (post 99)

Things I've Learned:

1) I have a better-than-average memory for faces. Sometimes this is creepy.
2) Most of the people around me function in Fahrenheit. I should learn it, because I can't convert to Celsius in my head.
3) Some of the food I eat is easily perceived by Rosette as "communist food" (millet, buckwheat)...but it's really good when you want a quick warm meal.
4) People with a low level of awareness are much more annoying and a lot more common than people with bad intentions.
5) probably a lot of other things. I feel like a list should have at least 5 items. or 3, but not 4.

Dreams I've had:

1) I was running away from a red haired lady, she wanted to kill me. Then I started learning to fly and I had to save a little kid because he was prophesied to save all of humanity at some point. And then she started helping me-she had wanted to kill me because I was magical and she was trying to settle down and have a normal life and I was impeding her ability to do so with my impending flying potential. We had to create a whole fake reality bus to kill off the bad-guys. It was a lot of mind simulation, thankfully most of the bad-guys were pretty dumb. We simulated a whole bunch of fake ones to trick the real ones into getting on the bus so that they would be out of our way while we saved the kid.

2) My family and I were on mars. Everything was red-since it's the red planet, and it was warm but if you went off to far to one side it would be really cold or really hot (since it doesn't spin). There was also life on it-red trees, tulips with red stems, giant black and white butterflies with bold geometric patterns on their wings, giant red trees with red leaves-a whole forest. We moved very very slowly because of our space suites. And then we got back into the ship and landed back on earth, but it was night there, so everything was dim and the space station (that looked like a train station). When I woke up I was shocked by the fact that there was green in the world, it took me a while to adjust (and then I went and took my calc exam).

3) Japanese ambient noise, bike, rails (I have no idea, this is all I wrote down after I had it)
the next four where stress dreams. clearly.

4) My mother and I where in an elevator when she suddenly got murdered by a group of soldiers, who used the sharp ends of their bayonet guns. And then this gnome was walking through an Alice-in-Wonderland door and shrink, and then he would come out and be his normal size again. It was a psychological test but I just wanted someone to care about the fact that my mother died, but no one did. I very offhandedly mentioned "well, my mother died today" and then stomped away, and then felt guilty for acting so immature & bitter & passive aggressive.

5) My family came and visited me in my dorm, but it wasn't at Bard, and it was a brothel, and I gave my youngest brother cocaine.

6) Mama and I were where trying to track down a couple of serial killers that murdered pre-teen children by drowning them in waterfalls. We kept failing to stop them, driving up right and trying to fight them off and failing.

7) I was a mass of arms, forming and collapsing back into the center. I was trying to form into one arm, one entity, but was failing. I couldn't see or anything, and I existed in an empty space.

8) I was on an port to get on a boat to an island owned by one of my friends' family. There where a lot of old people there and this guy with a guitar. We snuck onto the boat and then slinked around the island-there was a house that had everything (store, bowling alley, fancy kitchen).

9)I have lots of snippets as well-a dream with a waterfall and little people, but the dream kept repeating-one time I was really genuinely happy, another time I was waiting for the waterfall to kill me, another I was upset but covering it up. A different dream where I was flying behind these large buildings made out of glass. Another where I was whispering to Yulka behind (literally, right behind) someones back, saying that "this is the first time in a while we've had a normal conversation! I'm freaking out!"

10) probably others. I think I'll try to write them up more regularly in full. I dream a lot.
