Dreams are as Stars in the Sky

I woke up today thinking of dreams.  I had multiple vivid dreams last night, and I started thinking if it would be possible for people to connect with each other in dreams.  I know this sounds overly fantastic but hang with me for a bit.  As I said I had a few very vivid dreams last night, and the parts that stood out about them were that there were a few people who kept pausing, as if they thought they should be somewhere else for a moment.  I know that is a bit odd, but what has been interesting as this day has developed is I have had two of those people today so far tell me that I was in their dreams last night.  One of them had previously told me that they never remembered their dreams. I know this is what most people would say is just pure happenstance, but I think this is the first time in a long time anyone has told me that they had a dream about me, which in general is not a comfortable thing to tell someone.

I do really enjoy some of the stranger things that happen in life.  I am not sold on the fact that science has solved even some of the more mysterious things that people perceive.  Is it possible that some people can have a "psychic" link?  Potentially.  I have been really sold on a line that is in a book that I read,

Science, the largest religion of the twentieth century, had become tarnished by images of exploding space shuttles, crack babies, and a generation of complacent Americans who allowed the television to raise their children.  People were looking for something - I think they just didn't know what. And even thought they were once again starting to open their eyes to the world of magic and the arcane that had been with them all the while, they still thought I must be some kind of joke.

 I suppose to get back to my point a bit.  Is it possible that some people can connect in a way that is more that just physical and chemical interactions?  How can a mother know that her child at college is having a horrible day and call just to cheer them up.  Coincidence?  I suppose that is a possibility.  Is it possible to study?  not really, but I feel like it is a fair thing to speculate on.

I could go more into things, like why is it that people who are more positive seem to have fortunate/lucky things work out for them more often?  It could be just a perception because they don't dwell on the negative things, so it appears as mainly positive things happen to them. Or potentially it is because good "joojoo" "karma" find them because of some other connection.  Once again impossible to study, but interesting to speculate on.

I will leave you with another quote,

Paranoid? Probably, but just because you are paranoid doesn't mean that there isn't an invisible demon about to eat your face

the Beginning of a Mountain

So apparently I am really bad both finding time to write in here and also submitting drafts that I have saved.  For those you will have to wait.  I don't think that they are ready to be published yet.  This one is going to be fairly short I think because I have been really too busy to think of much of importance to write.

I was thinking today that it has been a really long few weeks due to the fact that I have really been pushing to get ahead with research and such.  I have a feeling that it hasn't helped much, but hey it is good to get stuff done.  I am going to have a ton of writing to do this semester. I am starting to feel the weight of the mountain that is my Ph.D. starting to press upon my shoulders.  So far they have been strong enough.

For those of you who what to know a bit more about things that I think about incessantly and hold really close to my chest, take 8 minutes and listen to this, then take another hour to read my sisters blog. She is one of the most incredible women that I will ever meet and she is quite a terrific blogger.  http://laballews.blogspot.com/2012/06/our-story_01.html

This kid is great. You have got to love the glasses.

One day...
