Oops, I misinterpreted my sister's email last night. My dad is back in the nursing home in Embarrass but with assistance from the Green Bay hospice.

iPhones totally suck when you try to use them in dreams.

Easier than trying to write code in your dreams, though.

How is it that I have a song in my head that calls out my GRANDMOTHER's Girl Scout camp? That is ridiculous.

Heh. Yeah, I've tried to do that too.

Things were much simpler when I worked in a bakery and all I had to do in my dreams was remove bread and cookies from an oven.

I've never been able to dial any phone in my dreams. Ever. I start to dial and either forget the number, or the call won't go through, or some weird shit.

One weird thing about last night's dream was at one point I knew I was dreaming but I didn't want to tell my friend I was dreaming (and she was just a figment in my dream) because I thought that would be rude.

I used to dream about a friend of mine quite a lot after he died, but then one dream I told him he was dead and he said, "Oh. OK." After that I didn't dream about him again for many years.

Last night, I had a recurring dream that I have about being in college, not knowing my schedule, and accidentally not attending classes.

I KNEW it was a dream last night and I was so determined to finish the dream by going to the registrar's office, getting my schedule, and figuring out whether I could pass the classes or needed to drop them.

But the computers all had this special program that I could not use, or log in to, and no way to find out or print your current schedule, and no one was able to help me. SO frustrating. Since I was sure I was dreaming, I yelled at the advisor in the registrar's office because I would not believe that their policy was that there was know way to see or find out your course schedule after you registered!

It's funny that we can know we're dreaming but still try to accomplish whatever it is that the dream set up for us.

I've also had lucid dreams where I've been rude or taken aggressive actions just because I know I'm dreaming and it just doesn't matter what I do. And very occasionally I decide to just end the dream and wake up because the dream is annoying or frightening.
