I feel like dreams really add beauty to my life, and I want to both remember and share them. I will never actually be able to share them the same way I see them. My words can't describe them that well. But I can write it down so that I myself remember it, at the least.
The characters in my dreams may be real or not. In real life, I have a certain number of family members. In dreams it often changes; an extra brother, and extra sister, etc. While I'm discovering that all of my dreams reflect something in real life, it can just as accurately be said that at the same time, nothing in my dreams reflects real life. I won't always bother to say what is the same in waking life or not. It doesn't really matter. Not usually.
And absolutely, yes, I lucid dream. It started the time when as a child, I had a nightmare. Cinderella and I were being chased by the very evil Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I told my mom about it later. She told me that sometimes when she has a nightmare, she can wake herself up, and that then the bad guys in the dreams see you disappear and wonder where you went. The next time it happened, I somehow remembered and woke myself. She also told me that if, in a dream, you need to use a bathroom or start dreaming about bathrooms, it's best to wake yourself up; that's always real. Anyway, at first it was just in nightmares and such that I was able to realize I was dreaming out of necessity and wake myself. But after a while I was beginning to do things such as tell my characters; "Hey! Why should I wake up? You are in MY brain, you have to do what I tell you to!" And from there, I just have gotten more and more control.
However, dreams are usually more interesting when I don't interfere. So usually I just let them go where they will.
I also feel like life is a dance, and I've long wanted a blog to post videos of people dancing, so I have it all collected in one place. Again, for myself, but if anyone else enjoys it, all the better. And of course, why not add songs I like as well?
I also kind of want a place to permanently store favorite quotes. So I will do that here, when I discover great new thoughts that are not my own.
I think I'll also start putting book reviews on here. But not the kind I usually read, because I don't like those. I will write what I'd want to read. Mine will always be full of spoilers, because yes, I love those. If you don't like spoilers, don't read my thoughts on books. Mine won't have a score from 1 to 10 or whatever. It will just be, Hey, I liked this book, or Hey, I did not like this book. That's good enough. And then why. But not the critic's type. I may be critical. But I hate reading reviews of critics. They always have to spoil even a good thing. Maybe I shouldn't even call them 'reviews'. But I don't know.
Anyway. This is a blog of creativity and art and imagination and dreams. Some my own. Some from others who gave me my own enjoyment. There will be very little 'real' life in here. There is enough of that in other places.
