I don't think you're crazy, Steph, FWIW.

Steph, I am your inverse in a way. I use a sleep tracker app and it asks for my mood when I wake up. I almost always choose the neutral option because I am just, you know, awake and not feeling anything in particular but Tuesday I was feeling good and chose accordingly. Before actually getting up, of course, I checked the board. Naturally I have drawn the conclusion that I should never click on the smiley face again.

I've had 3 experiences like the one you had in my own life.

Me too, and I woke up exhausted on Sunday morning from these crazy dreams - I told my husband about some of them, including one "all the Buffistas were at a swimming pool, sitting around the edge, but someone was in th pool and sinking super-deep, like ocean-deep and I was trying to dive in and rescue her and caught a glimpse of close-cropped ochre hair. I thought "Oh, it's ita, of course she can swim, she's probably OK."

Then I spent Sunday wondering what my brain was using ita and Buffistas as a metaphor for.

A very, very interesting question.

I had a kind of odd worlds colliding moment yesterday. One of my friends at work came up to me and said she was sorry to hear about the loss of my friend (from FB) and then said, "I think I knew her--did she used to do krav?" Turns out she took classes with her for awhile years ago. Such a small world.

That's so clear it's barely a metaphor anymore. That's as close to a telegram as the subconscious can usually manage. Raq, if you have any dreams like that about the rest of us, do give us a holler, will you?

I was replacing toilet paper on the roll today and thought, "I bet ita has a strong opinion about which direction is appropriate."

I can't claim anything supernatural, but sometime over the weekend, the thought "Has anyone talked to ita?" occurred out of nowhere. I remembered she'd said something about the hospital, so I talked myself out of asking and then someone else did.

I was in the tea shop today. Lovely visit.

On the way home, I thought about how much I've spent on the fancy teas these days, followed by, "I need to learn how to make the most of this. I wonder if I need new equipment? I should ask"...oh. wait.
