It would be very beneficial to train ourselves to jump up from our sleep and quick write everything down that we dreamed about. What creative original stories could be told! Darn, if only I had remembered to write that dream down. I know one morning that was exactly my thoughts! I woke up thinking what a terrific book or movie story my dream could have been. After reading the chapters assigned for this week, my idea was not so original after all. Actually, what I dreamed about was not at all the kind of writing I would pursue at all. It was really quite science fiction and no, I was not taking any kind of drugs...unless you would count eating before bedtime as a drug. I did notice a pattern emerging that anytime eating occurs right before sleep, dreaming is almost a given event. How odd that our text did not mention eating at all, while discussing the unconscious state and dreaming.
When I read about the section called "Brief Encounters with the Reaper", it reminded me about a near-death experience I had about thirteen years ago. It is very true about the sensation of serenity. Looking back to that time, I am very lucky to even be here. Luckily, I only reached the first stage of the near-death experience. It was a very odd peaceful sensation.
One nice thing did happen to me today. I had an “Aha!’ moment. I was taking pictures for my Basic Photography class and I came across a scene that gave me an idea for my Creative paper. Now I need to really think the idea through. Somehow when I am trying to sleep, I usually get my thoughts and ideas together. I will need to make sure pencil and paper are nearby just in case!
