Renewed
Its a new semester, and I’ve already settled into it nicely.
I have some new and interesting classes: Microeconomics, Entrepreneurship, Public Speaking, etc. … I’m taking a good chunk of business classes this semester, and for once, I’m actuall very interested. Usually when we think ‘business’, we think its a complex and utterly boring set of affairs that create businesses, … but to me (at least the direction I want to take it), it is actually very interesting, and very exciting: the prospect of creating something that can sustain itself and that I can represent/can represent me. Of course, I enjoy the idea of creating my own business over simply being an asset to someone else. Especially when it comes to music business, there is no better way to do things! =)
My thinking is that, even if the economy utterly collapses; even if we are all forced to live the rest of our lives farming our own crops (if it indeed gets that bad), there will always… always be a demand for music, and you do not need a market or an economy to measure that. So, even if engaging in business is an unfortunate thing in our current economic state, I, at heart, am a man of music,… and art in general,… and there will always be value behind these talents.
…
I have also begun to creep back into the art of meditating and dream journaling, after being gone from it for so long. I remember but and hour ago, after writting my last dream in the journal, I went into the main room of my two bedroom, four person dorm,… whereas everyone else was either asleep or at class,… and I simply sat and stared out the window at the world. I recalled the many dreams I’ve had before of which I remember entire locales, and perhaps regions. Some were utterly bizarre landscapes. Some were strangely connected townships which I’ve never seen before. Some were mysterious wood-like areas, with torches, log houses, tree abodes, and what seemed like a very magickal, or paganistic aura of mystery. … I sat and recalled these places, and I wondered if any of them existed out in the real world. Perhaps I was merely visiting actual places. Perhaps these actual places were not even of this planet. … but though some of the most vivid, and some of the most exploratory dreams I’ve had,… I wondered.
I simply sat and wondered. ….

I think we but all think the same. I do indeed see myself as a very imaginative person, but some of the places I visited, there is no way I could have made that up. Some say that it is a form of astral projection. A fun thing to try is try to move things with conscience thought in a dream. Or interact and leave your mark. You may just run into it some day.
I am glad you finally got some classes that you can have some fun with. I like business. Laugh your ass off all you want, but I am an accountant with a southern-based corperation. I love my job, though alot of people would be quite stuffled by it.

I’m not laughing at all. I’ve taken accounting twice (I failed it once), and once I’ve understood the precise function of things, its actually enjoyable to know. I’ve been in many advanced math classes in my K-12 career, and I’m revisiting long-abandoned math skills through my adventures in business, so I know how logically stimulating numbers can be. xD
What you are speaking of is ‘lucid dreaming’: the ability to gain consciousness in your dream state. I have accomplished this a number of times (i think). It sometimes hard to tell, because you may awaken to your dream, and realize that many things change so you can tell you are in a dream, but I never consciously consider that I should experiment with things like ‘leaving my mark’, or you are easily amused by the lack of physics in your dream. Sometimes I wish I wasn’t amused… long enough to consider ‘leaving a callsign’. … *shrug* Dream consciousness is difficult.
It is complicated and sometime you can wak up more exhausted then you were when you laid down, but sometimes I supprise myself. I visit all kinds of people when I sleep. People that I would perfer to remain absent from visual view. Hard, yes? Worth it, hell yeah…
Bonjoir.
