The Guardian for this meeting was Eos Amaterasu. The comments are by Eos Amaterasu.

Korel Laloix: heya
Eos Amaterasu: Hi Korel

--BELL--

Eos Amaterasu: Our theme is "reciprocity of imaginative play", or something like that?
Korel Laloix: I think so.
Korel Laloix: We actually talked a little about it yesterday.
Eos Amaterasu: I like to think that imagination shapes our sense perceptions
Korel Laloix: Really needed in playing sports.
Eos Amaterasu: :-)
Eos Amaterasu: have you experienced that?
Korel Laloix: Sure.. I play soccar and roller derby a little.. and everyone has to be into it to make the game work.
Eos Amaterasu: into the game roles
Eos Amaterasu: soccer avatars :-)
Korel Laloix: I am sure there is.
Eos Amaterasu: what's the "imagination" part of that?
Korel Laloix: Sports are not just doing rehersed actions all the time.
Korel Laloix: You have to think and react and see things in the future to be good.
Eos Amaterasu: hmm, yes, stretch out in different ways
Eos Amaterasu: some sense of form and beauty even
Eos Amaterasu: like throwing a football
Korel Laloix: Well, if you do it right.. smiles.. I am afraid I am not really good enough to be on that level..
Eos Amaterasu: little glimpses are enough
Korel Laloix: I agree.
Eos Amaterasu: occasional flow in the game?
Korel Laloix: I am good as I have great endurance and I am small.. so good for certain positions.
Eos Amaterasu: you can see the form and space and relax and energy in great sports figures (Federer, Bird, Gretzky), but also catch some of that in pick-up sports
Eos Amaterasu: like great garage-band music

--BELL--

Korel Laloix: I agree.. as that is all I know... pick up games... smiles

Eos Amaterasu: Are you relaxing now? (after exams?)
Korel Laloix: Very much so.....
Korel Laloix: I am sitting here at Reeba's ranch.
Korel Laloix: She is passed out next to me... smiles
Eos Amaterasu: cool.... relaxes as well
Eos Amaterasu: Reeba?
Korel Laloix: My gf.
Korel Laloix: At her parents' ranch.
Korel Laloix: Reeba is a nickname for Rhebbekkah
Eos Amaterasu imagines another world
Korel Laloix: Very rural Oklahoma.
Korel Laloix: Sort of a working vacation.. learning how to do ranch work and a bit about horses.
Eos Amaterasu: and you spend part of that virtually here

Korel Laloix: I can only sleep about 5 hours a day.... and Reeba does about 8.... so good to get in here for a chat when she is snoozing.
Eos Amaterasu: you're a high energy bundle
Korel Laloix: That and I have fairly bad in/parasomnia.
Eos Amaterasu: from wikipedia: Parasomnias are a category of sleep disorders that involve abnormal and unnatural movements, behaviors, emotions, perceptions, and dreams that occur while falling asleep, sleeping, between sleep stages, or during arousal from sleep. Most parasomnias are dissociated sleep states which are partial arousals during the transitions between wakefulness and NREM sleep, or wakefulness and REM sleep.
Eos Amaterasu: Have you spoken with Fox Monacular about that? She's a sleep and dream and such states researcher
Korel Laloix: That is it... plus I just can't get to sleep.
Korel Laloix: I have done a RL sleep clinic and that helped a lot.
Korel Laloix: Before i would only manage about 3:45 a night.. but after i was getting up to about 5:15 a night.
Korel Laloix: But it has leveled off at about 5 hours now.
Eos Amaterasu: 3:45 seems like barely enough deep sleep
Korel Laloix: It was bad...
Eos Amaterasu: that deep sleep part has in my experience been weirder
Eos Amaterasu: as expressed in dream-like states
Eos Amaterasu: sometimes more raw kind of extreme emotions
Korel Laloix: I never remember my dreams.
Korel Laloix: Except for a few nightmares.
Eos Amaterasu: from one point of view not surprising - it takes close or more than 7 or 8 hours of sleep to get into dreams
Korel Laloix: I know I dream... I have been told by a few that I am impossible to sleep with as i kick so much...
Korel Laloix: lol
Eos Amaterasu: nightmares seem more frequent in waking out of deep sleep (again in my experience)

--BELL--

Eos Amaterasu: the energy bundle is kicking
Korel Laloix: The nightmares that I remember I woke during.
Korel Laloix: Reeba is dreaming right now I can tell.
Eos Amaterasu used to watch his sleeping dog twitching and dream running...
Korel Laloix: Wish I knew what was in her dreams.
Korel Laloix: Wish I knew what was in my dreams for that matter.
Eos Amaterasu: sleep longer and you'll probably start to interact with dreams more
Eos Amaterasu: (speaking of reciprocal imagination)
Korel Laloix: I wish I could.
Korel Laloix: wow... so lagged.
Eos Amaterasu: maybe set aside 8 hours and stay in bed, even if you think you're awake
Korel Laloix: I have tried several techniques of the years.
Korel Laloix: That was one of them... but I found it made things worse..
Korel Laloix: So now I do the bed sleep hygiene things.
Korel Laloix: Bed is only for sleep.. nothing else for me... smiles
Eos Amaterasu: could be the molecules you're born and raised with....
Eos Amaterasu: part of the nature of your energy bundle
Eos Amaterasu: we are not so independent
Eos Amaterasu: what do your aunts say?
Korel Laloix smiles
Korel Laloix: Many a long conversation about that.
Korel Laloix: They have some natural things that do some good.. but not for extended use.

--BELL--

Korel Laloix: But in the bigger picture, they think I have some imbalance in me that needs to be sorted. They think it is a heart thing, not a body thing.
Eos Amaterasu: sounds like a hero's journey there....
Korel Laloix: I do hope that when I can sort out all my psych issues that this will go away or at least decline.
Eos Amaterasu: we speak our psych stuff through molecules
Eos Amaterasu: meanwhile, speaking of sleep, that'
Eos Amaterasu: s where I'm headed
Eos Amaterasu: nice to spend some time, intersect with you, Korel
Eos Amaterasu: ciao heya
Korel Laloix: Take care...
Eos Amaterasu: take care of your energy bundle :-)
