like my dream about pirates after i fell asleep after reading peter pan. so not random.
also probably means that i will be a pirate someday.
and fly.
ANYway. i've realized recently, i don't get bored anymore. i don't know why. i guess, if i don't feel content with my present activity, i change it by occupying myself with something else. or someone. but i still stay i'm bored all the time...out of habit i guess.
and i never do "nothing" anymore either. if i look like i'm sitting, doing nothing, without a book or notebook or a puppy or ipod, staring into space...i'm probably so terribly preoccupied with my thoughts that i can't concentrate on any visible activity.
what i'm trying to say...why? am i more easily satisfied? or have a found a way to be happy all the time in my life? (at least for the moment.)
list of things i've done in the last wk that COULD be boring but were WAY happy:
-making a scavenger hunt list while watching two halves of two movies
-playing mini-games on N64 over and over and over with one other person
-watching fiddler on the roof for the eight billionth time in my life
-going apt hunting in the blazing heat
-waiting in line for rides at lagoon with my fam
-lone walks
-talking. just talking. on couches, on a porch, on the grass...just TALK.
-organizing the pickchur wall
-sharing files
...maybe the secret is, to find the joy in the small things, instead of wishing for greater. why do i need to be wishing i was doing crazy things away from here? i'm happy. thankkkks. :)
the argument wasn't whether or not dreams reflected what we had been thinking about, it was about whether or not they meant anything. Way to totally skew it. You never mentioned that they reflected what we had been thinking about.
ReplyDeleteMan, I WANT to get into That sometime with you guys.
ReplyDeletemy point was that random thoughts and memories in our brains get triggered as we sleep, so yes, it would have to reflect what we had been thinking about or had thought or learned and they will all get triggered randomly in random pieces will get put together to make the dream. So it would have to come from something that was already in our brain, obviously, and can easily reflect what we have been thinking about.
ReplyDeleteBut I distinctly recall you talking about dreams MEANING something, not reflecting what we had been thinking about. My point was that dreams are just superficial random images from our memories that don't have any sort of significant metaphysical meaning. i can dream about all killing people and it doesn't mean a thing, other than i had a dream about killing people. i can have a dream about smooching someone i hate and it doesn't mean anything other than i had a dream about smooching someone i hate. etc.
dallin skinner commmented on my blogggggg! twice!!!
ReplyDeleteannnnd. wrong. it means you love killing people and you love the hater and one day you will be an executioner married to the one you think you hate.
