The best dream book I have encountered is The Dreamer’s Dictionary, by Robert Condron. I think dreams are about you…all about you and what you have learned that day that can help with your soul growth. By analyzing my dreams using this book and with the help of my brother, I have done more for my growth and understanding of myself then any therapist could have done. Bravo to you for figuring this out. I never say “it was just a dream” anymore…my dream life is as valid a learning environment as my waking, physical life.

Hello Quinn, I love your weblog. More and more your post is the first thing that I want to read in the morning with my morningcoffee.

Hope that your house in Washington D.C. will be sold soon for such uncertainty can eat at a person.
I can relate in a weird way for every 4 years my husband and I are posted somewhere else in the world and so in the last year of our stay I don’t know in april/may where we will be living in july to give you an idea. Believe me, that can be both very exciting and stressful at the same time and I try hard to live by the day and do the chores for our moving in a very orderly way. Plannig them per week or just per day in order to have some normal time left over for the remaining time.

Great post, Quinn.

Truthfully, I’ve given up on trying to find the right purse and now I just stuff everything in a backpack and sling it over one shoulder. I might not win any fashion points, but at least it’s practical. And hell, if I just wanted a cute accessory, I’d go to PetSmart and buy me a chihuahua.

—You are so right, Osh, there are nicer backpacks out there than purses. The bag I have over my shoulder most often is one from REI. It holds file folders and is comfortable to carry. Much better than a chihuahua! –Q

Quinn, first, your image is exquisite! I love the contentment in her face, a sense of peace and calm. I love what you say about dreams and I’m with you on your perception. Historically, dreams were used for healing (as in the asclepieions found in the ancient Greek temples of Asclepius) as well as for guidance or divine inspiration. Genece

My favorite botched headline in a local “Advertiser News” sort of paper:

Storm Reeks Havoc.

Part of my job is editing stories that come in from people who don’t make a regular habit of writing or reading much. The mistakes they make amaze AND scare me: way beyond “it’s” vs. “its.”

Gentile herpes…LOL!

—ah, of course–reeks. I’d forgotten that. And while I’m thinking of it, there is I bought you a broach for Mother’s day (instead of brooch), and still my favorite grocery store sign, “Portable Mushrooms.” (Portabella). I do bet you see some veeeerrrrry scary stuff. –Q

Amen to all of that. I’m so sick of magnets that only stay closed if you carry the least possible stuff in a bag (and that just isn’t happening with me). I want zippers!

—–I think the designers aren’t actually thinking of using them, just sending them (empty) down a runway. -Q

That class looks like so much fun.

I’ve had very vivid dreams, but usually of frustrating things that I can’t mistake as anything else but obstacles I run into in real life. And lots of dreams with bears in them (one reason why I’ve adopted them as a token animal). I’d love to have a lucid dream like Barbara mentions above.

—-You can train yourself to do lucid dreams. After I’ve finished my class, research and reading, I think I feel a dream class coming on. . . –Q
