No particular reason for updating today, just wanted to ramble aimlessly. The one good thing about being able to laze about after waking up is that I tend to remember my dreams better- and I have to say, every dream I remember is always more than a little surreal. For one, I rarely identify the main character or point of view in the dream as being literally myself. For another, I dream in full color, so I'll come away from dreams remembering particularily vivid images. A third thing that's slightly unusual is that I see and read text in my dreams- I had one dream where I was wandering around a book store looking at covers of books that I'm pretty sure have never existed. Thanks to last night's dream, I can also add that I apparently can write in them, too. In my own hand-writing in green pen, no less.
What I want to know is if I'm unusual in remembering particular sensations from my dreams. It's not something that happens all the time, or even one sensation per dream, but I'll come away from a dream knowing that I tasted the food, and it was awful, or the rain was icy cold. Sometimes I think it's just because I'm so familiar with certain things that it's imbedded in my memory- the smell of my favorite tea, the feeling of raised text on the cover of a book. Others are slightly more interesting. . . . This might sound weird, but I was petting horses, and I can remember the feel of fur against my palm, my nails scratching into dried mud, the horse leaning into my hand and pressing it against another horse.
Quite possibly I just have an overactive imagination, or else it's entirely normal. XD At any rate, I go to bake cornbread- and eventually, get the guts to call Macy's and beg for a job. >_<
Yeah. Am still unemployed. It doesn't look like the other one will work out after all- they haven't called me back in a week, and I seriously should have started working months ago >_<. Of course, given my standard reaction to pressure, it really shouldn't surprise me that I keep dodging away from the inevitable. And there's only two months until school starts again. . .
Enough wallowing, more baking!
