"Jelly?!!! Why did you bring THAT to a picnic?" he exclaimed as he repeatedly kicked the sand.

Maybe he's just using natural gas - methane.

Many years ago, a friend of mine and I rented a house together. At one point, he decided to take a class in active dreaming or something like that (not lucid dreaming.) After a few weeks, I'd be in the middle of a dream and my friend would suddenly show up as an observer, but sometimes facing the wrong way. The first night after one of these, he mentioned that he had tried out an exercise that he had learned in his class about traveling to other people's dreams, which is what he did with me. Later on, I had a couple of the types of dream I mentioned in my last post and my friend mentioned afterwards that this was something he was working on as well. I told him to stop or I'd beat him soundly about the head and shoulders. At any rate, the paranormal and I are well-acquainted, so I wasn't too surprised at the Chinese woman dream. I knew that it wasn't my dream; besides seeming as though I was in someone else's head, it was so far outside of my experience that it couldn't have been mine. I'm not affiliated with any church and that dream had details that now seem to make sense, but I had no idea about them before.

That is AMAZING!! I can't begin to imagine what kind of work went into that. That's quite a thank you!

Does anyone ever (for lack of a better word) channel someone else's dreams? That happens to me once in awhile. I'll be having one of my own dreams and it will be interrupted by someone else's dream and then I'm back to mine. Like changing a channel and then changing it back - as in it doesn't go back to the same place in my dream; it goes back to the point that it would if my dream had just continued to run its course during the time of the interruption. Last night, I was in the middle of my own dream when suddenly I was yanked into another person's dream. It felt as though I was in the back of her head, if that makes any sense. Apparently, the dreamer was a Chinese woman in her late 50's who does a lot of work for her church. The dream was about some sort of collection her church had done and they collected beyond the amount they needed, so the minister suggested that he and his assistant and she use the extra money for vacations. The woman felt guilty about taking that money for such a purpose, but was tempted because her husband was such a tightwad and this was the only way she was ever going to have a nice vacation. Then, she and her husband attended a church-sponsored gathering and she was trying to figure out what to tell her husband (a tall, extremely thin man; or maybe this woman was very short and he just seemed tall.) Then, the channel changed and I was back in my own dream. It was very odd.

Watching "Survivorman" - that show is great! :)

And to talk to someone. Shared pain is lessened, shared joy increased.

Are you converting your graphics? In Photoshop, when saving to jpg, you have the option of choosing the quality of your graphic. Also, it depends on the original photo. If you took it with a digital camera, the resolution is pretty important, particularly if you are increasing the size. I typically use a high resolution and shrink it down - looks better.

My vote is for Barbados Sam's. To use a colloquialism, it is Way Cool.
