you are extra sweet. this happens pretty rarely to me. i mean, yeah, i dream a lot. and i remember about 1/3 of my dreams, which i consider to be a pretty high percentage. but most of them i enjoy. and have a certain amount of control over. i like the perspective they give me on what is going on in my subconcious. so while last night sucked...it was an anomoly. i used to keep a paper journal. i filled 4 books worth, but i ran out of time....i could make time, i guess..but there are so many other things i want to do.
i used to keep one of those hand-recorders by my bed and record my dreams as soon as i woke. i got a lot of cool in-depth stuff that way. but it took a lot of time, so i stopped. did you ever do something like that?
ross was making exactly your point about a secure place... and mostly i agree with him...i just have this idea that i need to give my all to any situation before giving up on it. his point is that going to church is not my job - not my calling. and i shouldn't have to work so hard from the start. he would encourage me to go back and try to change things if i want to, but only after i am getting my spiritual needs met in some way so that i don't set myself up for failure by running out of "spiritual ammo". he is a very good man. i miss my church in ardmore, pa. the minister reminded me of a leprachan...kind of a hunched irishman who smoked cigarettes like mad whenever no kids were around and was obsessed with storytelling. the adult sunday school was erudite and lively and the children's sermons were even better than the quite good regular sermons. i would like to find something like that again. problem is that i am FIRMLY methodist. it is important to me. and there aren't as many methodists(or methodist churches) in minnesota.
