Your mom wants to go out drinking, want to come?

My dad burst into my room this morning, asking me the above question. It was a good morning. (I'm kidding. He went to work, not to the bar.)

Anyways. This morning I woke up several times, and each time I would push myself back into sleep, and as a result I remember SO MANY dreams. Each one ranged from mildly macrabe to incredibly sinister (the last one involved sugar creek muggings and I was so scared that I just gave up on sleep)

I've heard alot of people talk about lucid dreams, and I never understood the concept correctly because I realize I'm dreaming all the time, but if I try and change the course of the dream I just wake up, but today I remember this moment I had in the middle of a dream where I understood I was a dream and distorted the faces of everyone around me. Then I changed into a giant bird.

But enough pillow talk! I've reinvested my faith in my trusty scanner, and hopefully, it will work. So. To begin. This is a scanned in view of yesterday's post:

I finally go it up (thats what she said) and I had to try like 6 times. So. Appreciate. It doesn't look like this anymore and I don't know how happy I am with that but when I'm finished with it you won't even know what you're looking at.

And I have a couple new things to share with this post like one of my first journals. It is important for everyone looking at this journal to know that THOSE ARE NOT SWASTIKAS. THEY ARE HINDU RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS. NOT SWASTIKAS. I AM NOT A NAZI.

But, my mom gave me this journal when I started claires class and that was when I really really started journaling. Its divided into four sections and in each section you can see my progress as an artist.

Today I'm going to take something from the third section, a two page spread.











So once you recover from this great trilogy of images, look closer at them. They might be hard to read, but all the typed text can be found at my old xanga (www.xanga.com/ostrichface). By typed I mean bolded text, the regularly typed text was something I printed out from y private computer journals, and it is important to understand that while I kept these journals I had a huge problem with empty space and this page drove me crazy because I couldn't obliterate it all.

Neha, I don't know if anyone else is having that problem? On my computer I am able to enlarge them, but I will oook around see what the problem is and if its on my end. I am able to enlarge them on this computer and my mac, but I'll leave my ip address and see if thats still true.

And! Another question for everyone reading. I really really am interested in the process of how you dream, dreams you've expieranced, really anything about sleep you are willing to share. I also understand that you can't comment without an account which is a shame, so email or facebook your answer to me. I'm interested.
