This is yesterday
Gotta make up for not doing a journal entry last night. So, dreams, right? I'll go off topic and get the dream thing out of the way. Since starting the Buddhist thing, I've had only three dreams that I can remember anything from. In one, I was at work, during the Summer, I think. Regular work day, although slow as hell. The dream part was that I was missing part of my left arm. Or maybe most of the hand, because it seemed like I could still grab things. The other one involved sex, I'm not gonna go any further with that..

And the last one was just last night. At first all I could remember is that it took place within the span of an hour, since I'd woken up at 6:40 or so, and then finally woke up at 7:42. All I can piece out of that one is that something big happened, considering it took place in an hour; something ended. But through the morning I think I remembered that I had another dream involving one of my ex-girlfriends. Don't I have all the luck.

I've missed two days of meditation. One I was just bloody tired for, and the other, I wasn't in the mood for meditation. My car had gotten broken into and someone stole the stereo, and a bunch of change (of all things.) They could have done alot worse though, probably heisted a total of a thousand dollars worth of stuff. But they didn't. Still, it was enough to throw off any positive karma and such I had for the rest of the week. The new Get Up Kids cd was in the stereo, and it was soooo good. Funny thing, I witnessed a hit skip while I was getting ready to leave, and the officer who took the report had just pulled away. Managed to flag him down and get on the kids. T'was funny.

Should probably talk about the chanting session from earlier in the day too. That was pretty nifty. I almost immediately fell into a trance when we started, and that lasted for around ten minutes. REM, and that sensation of vertigo, intense spinning. The fun part is when it only feels like part of your body is spinning. Got so bad I had to open my eyes and ground myself, which kinda ended the whole trance slowly. But I don't think that was the sort of environment for mysticism, I mean the REM was probably enough to freak some people out. Sophia apparently has more effect on my than agape. Makes sense.
