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

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

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.

Re: Ferguson -- President Obama is going to make a statement to the press in a few minutes. If you're interested in checking it out.

tommyrot, I'm sorry you're dealing with so much right now.

Thanks Steph.

There is some sort of air show going on by my university, and the planes doing maneuvers are scaring the living daylights out of me. Every time one goes by I want to hide under my desk.

Local news has started being more and more openly critical of the Ferguson police. It's looking like martial law out there (edit: in Ferguson, not STL in general). There's a lot of hope that the gov will intervene.

I hate this. Things have been fucked up for a long time here.

Hec just posted this to FB: St. Louis County Police to Be Removed From Ferguson: Clay - Bloomberg

This was done on the governor's orders.

eta:

Clay [the governor] said that he has been urging U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to “take over the entire situation because we will not get justice for Michael Brown and his family and friends if the St. Louis County police and prosecutor have a say.”

Wow.

Thanks for the link, Tommy.

Also, much ~ma and peace to you right now.
