Lucid

I did it. I came to the realization today that I had my first lucid dream. By lucid dream, I mean that I was aware of my dream-state and began controlling it. I recall telling myself that because I was dreaming, I could do anything I wanted. I chose to fly.

It was weird only because I started to feel like a witch or something because what I was doing was so un-natural. What it also seemed like was that it was a dream within a dream, and I dreamt that I was having a lucid dream.  Either way, I experienced ear pressure with altitude change, and air drag. Damn. Of the things to remain realistic.

The overall dream was pretty weird though. Dave was there for an intense portion (where I was driving and such.) But there were other portions when I could feel my body waking up and being pulled out of my dream in sine-wave fashion.  I can’t really describe it at this point since the memory is fleeting now. 

I have my last week of training next week, and then I am officially complete. I have a week or so off then I am out to California for a few days. No way. There’s a lot going on, sort of. I’m trying to get a lot done. I also would like to new domain name; I also have to see how easy it is to switch everything over (ugh).

Internets, School

Condensing

I want to try something new. I’m thinking about a new domain name. My brother is not being much of a help as he won’t even tell me if he wants to renew his domain. “I don’t care,” was his response. I’m just slightly annoyed right now. But I wanted to merge a few things and streamline my online shenanigans.

Where do I begin? Kuro-Shiro has been around for a while and it’s been my little net. At the same time, that was more generated in my Japan Addict phase and doesn’t reflect me as much now (plus, no one can remember the name.) Where do I go?

I’m not sure how hard it will be to switch things over to a new domain or where I even want to go. My whole hosting thing expires this year too (bummer) so it’s time to think some things out. What’s in a name?

I haven’t done much with the site, but webmail is Google based, which is super sweet. All the Gmail I want Smile

There’s been a lot of spark lately too. Trying to get back into the flow of what I used to do, a lot of people have been doing a photo thing. Ex. Project 365. Yinga is so inspirational; just reading the things in her life make me either jealous of her or just feel bad that I’m nowhere near that. But there’s this 30-day challenge that some girls in Omega have been doing and so I want to. For a while now. Probably happened somewhere after stormtrooper 365 (LOVE Stéfan’s work, btw) and Jamie’s photo a day gig.

School, for just starting, is kind of rough. I’m having a hard time transitioning and actually being motivated to do anything. Things I should be doing vs. the things I rather be doing. There’s a lot going on in my head, and I would love to just have some more time. I could go on for days, but who needs that.

Little secret: in my less than chipper moods, I get some really outrageous ideas. I was feeling a little more towards miserable the other day and was looking into a new toy…a macbook. Don’t judge. I have this tendency to take forever to make a decision, but as soon as I do, I’m so set where I can’t let myself change that thought. I have been so Anti-Mac my entire life, but it’s still a new toy.

There’s so much I should be doing.
