Strange Dreams

by Confuddled @ 2008-04-27 - 17:00:55

A couple of nights or so ago, had a really strange dream. I know we all dream, but I normally don't remember mine. There have only been a few occasions when I do remember and with those dreams they seem to stay with me (memory wise).

As with the other dreams I can remember, it's hard to explain them, which I think is ironic, because I can still "see" it in my minds eye. Anyway, I'll try explain as much of it as I can.

I am sitting in a circle of people, and the teacher is taking us through a meditation. The teacher is a psychic and in real life, I've been to her for a reading and attended one of her classes at the London College of Psychic Studies - but it's been almost a year ago now. Anyway, whilst meditating I can feel a spirit (not scarey, and not a being with a low vibrational level); I start feeling a gagging sensation in my throat and I manage to attract the teachers attention and ask for help. The reason I ask for help is because it's the first time it is happening to me and I don't know what to do.

She takes me away from the circle and does something which I can only think is putting me in a trance. What I can't seem to convey here is the "feeling". This dream is more than "pictures and words" there's a lot of feeling. (Don't know if that makes any sense). She says to me that the spirit is from a neolithic man (!!!!) and it's one of 3 (????). She pulls out a book and there are 3 pictures and she asks me, to go with my intuition and point to the one I think it is. I do (can still see the picture in my head) and then she calls him "naughty".

With this dream, it has really stumped me. The only thing I can think of is I've been reading a book about releasing negative thought patterns that have been "locked" inside a person basically since childood - you know the ones: I'm not clever enough; I'm not good enough; I'm not pretty enough; I'm not deserving; etc... So, maybe this is my subconscious releasing??

Sounds of Summer

Don't know what the weather is like in your part of the world, but today, in the wilds of Kent, it has been dry and even sunny! I mowed the lawn wearing just a t-shirt and also managed to clear 1 of the flower beds. Whilst outside, I could hear, not only the birds, but the sound of lawn mowers and voices as my neighbours took advantage of the glorious weather as well.

It was wonderful to be outside and enjoying the weather. I do love both autumn and winter as seasons, but I am now ready for summer! :)

Bank balance of Life

by Confuddled @ 2008-04-13 - 17:20:01

Today has been one of those days where I've woken up feeling very blue & tearful. Those who "know" me will know that this happens to me every so often. I was intending to write a blog about how I felt as a means of trying to get myself out of the hole, but...I came across this and thought I'd share it instead (I don't know who or where it originated from).

"Imagine there is a bank account that credits your account each morning with £86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course?

Each of us has such a bank. It's name is TIME.

Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to a good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no over draft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day.

If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no drawing against "tomorrow." You must live in the present on today's deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success. The clock is running. Make the most of today.

To realise the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade.
To realise the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.
To realise the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realise the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realise the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who just missed a train.
To realise the value of ONE SECOND, ask someone who just avoided an accident.
To realise the value of ONE MILLISECOND, ask the person who won a silver medal at the Olympics.

Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with. And remember time waits for no one. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why its called the present."
