Yet they mean something, don’t they? Question is, do they provide a deeper alternate reality just as important as our waking realities or they just meaningless phenomena that might shine a bit more light and casual interest on our psyches?
I think the former and since I know a lot about Jung’s ideas on synchronicity I suspect he thought so as well.
I woke at 3:30 this morning and am awake at 5:00 a.m. hoping to go back to sleep shortly. I was awakened by some pressing dream I can’t recall, but with the overwhelming feeling my mother was there–a missed opportunity.
Dad wants to go to the casino today so that means shoveling and salting and white knuckling it with him and walker out to the car. But then some nice t-bone steaks I found on sale for dinner and tomorrow is that Duck Confit, pictures and comments to follow. Recipe testing.
Maybe a bit more sleep before that lovely dark roast coffee that makes life worth getting up for…
Happy Friday, all.

I love words so I write them. I’ve been doing that since I was old enough to read. I am a published literary writer and I was an adjunct English professor at Northern Michigan University for many years. I write and live and love off the grid on 35 acres and a trout stream in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula with my son, Joshua, who has Down Syndrome, and with an English Shepherd dog named Maggie, and with my husband when he can make it here which isn’t often. This blog started out being about my work, and it will continue to be. ( I’m working on a novel about premonitions and dreams.) But this blog is also about living off the grid and about my experimentation with diet—most recently the Carnivore Diet. I started on the Ketogenic diet, but have moved into Carnivore. How long, I don’t know. But I’ve become interest in the effects of diet on not just my health, but on creativity. And I’m interested in the effects of the diet on my dreams.
Ah, dreams... The day before my son was born, my mother “dreamed” or was told my son would have Down Syndrome, something she told my brother ahead of time. I’ve never known what to make of that. So I’m interested in prophetic dreams, lucid dreaming, creativity and dreams, night terrors. Who isn't interested in that? I’m interested in Freud (more Jung) and Einstein’s theories of time and how their ideas inform my dreams. I’m interested in mining a deeper relationship with a dream world not confined to daytime experiences, and how the night might inform a more fully imagined daytime “reality.” And vice-versa. Which is the dream?? I’m exploring dreams of all sorts. Come explore with me…
