Lucinda Lavender: It seemed to be a page of writing that were notes and they were about people I know but somehow I thought it was my friends page...anyway...the work on the page had gotten sent onto the internet
Lucinda Lavender: without her knowing...
Hana Furlough: oh dear
Lucinda Lavender: like a page from a journal being set out by accident
Lucinda Lavender: it looked like names of friends with unknown words beneath...could not read them
Lucinda Lavender: just interesting since so much discussion in the news about security etc
Hana Furlough: yes
Lucinda Lavender: how do you all feel about your words escaping..?
Hana Furlough: i don't really know
Korel Laloix: Words are the least of my worries.
Hana Furlough: haha!
Lucinda Lavender: I don't know either..:)
Korel Laloix: So much of my life is on the net, a little more is not going to matter.
Korel Laloix: And in these logs there is probably a good biography of me if someone wanted to put it all together.
Lucinda Lavender: nods...
Lucinda Lavender: thinking...
Lucinda Lavender: Solstice...
Lucinda Lavender: I will attend a parade of naked bicyclists tomorrow...
Hana Furlough: interesting

Lucinda Lavender: I will not be naked
Lucinda Lavender: just going to see the parade
Hana Furlough: haha
Lucinda Lavender: :)
Lucinda Lavender: very humorous...and fun
Korel Laloix: That sounds painful and creapy.
Hana Furlough: : )
Lucinda Lavender: :)))
Lucinda Lavender: I can see that
Lucinda Lavender: People decorate themselves amazingly
Lucinda Lavender: feels tribal
Korel Laloix: Just put clothes on.. lol... most nudests that I have seen have very little busines going around nude anyway... for artistic reasons...
Lucinda Lavender: haha
--BELL--
Lucinda Lavender: There is supposed to be a flash mob after:))Singing...so maybe I will attend that since I like to sing. But letting go of clothing is sort of like being revealed on the internet...in a very general sense...like an opening of sorts.
Lucinda Lavender: The longest day...
Korel Laloix: Isn't a naked flash mob redundent though?.. smiles
Hana Furlough: i hate to run, but errands call. nice chatting with you ladies! enjoy your parade tomorrow, luci, and happy solstice to you both!
Korel Laloix: Take care.. smiles
Lucinda Lavender: happy solstice to you Hana
Lucinda Lavender: That is what I was thinking Korel:)
Korel Laloix: Sounds silly.
Korel Laloix: Nudest in Sl seem creepy to me as well.
Korel Laloix: Like they want to force something on you and that thing has a major sexual component.
Korel Laloix: Seems very selfish to me.
Lucinda Lavender: I understand ...I get what you are saying.
Lucinda Lavender: Perhaps they like the thrill of their nakedness?
Korel Laloix: At teh expense of everyone else around a lot of the time.. lol
Korel Laloix: Heya Para
Lucinda Lavender: HI Paradise:)
Paradise Tennant: hiya korel luci :)) so nice to see you

Paradise Tennant: is this sl or a dream ?
Korel Laloix: brb
Lucinda Lavender: this was in SL
Lucinda Lavender: :)
Paradise Tennant: ahh kk
Lucinda Lavender: dream this morning was about a journal entry going to the internet
Paradise Tennant: listens
Lucinda Lavender: thought it had names of my friends on it....but that it was a journal belonging to a friend
Lucinda Lavender: just odd
Lucinda Lavender: we are not in charge of "our" ideas?
--BELL--

Lucinda Lavender: Thoughts and ideas escaping into the collective
Paradise Tennant: no indeed it is funny how dreams are such an odd mix . .the utterly profound and just odd fluff that could be as about important as dryer lint
Lucinda Lavender: or the other way around
Lucinda Lavender: yes
Paradise Tennant: smiles
Lucinda Lavender: hints bubbling up
Paradise Tennant: I have had losts of earth dreams lately
Lucinda Lavender: can you say more?
Paradise Tennant: dreams where I am walking in the woods and can really smell the earth you know the wet earthy smell
Lucinda Lavender: yes
Paradise Tennant: not mcuh more happening than that
Korel Laloix: Sounds vivid.
Paradise Tennant: smiles
Paradise Tennant: yes can really smell in my dreams
Lucinda Lavender: interesting...
Lucinda Lavender: the earth is making itself know
Lucinda Lavender: n
Lucinda Lavender: fragrance seems like a form of communication
Lucinda Lavender: I have never had that experience
Lucinda Lavender: in a dream
Paradise Tennant: Cecil replies: The smell is called petrichor, the scent of rain falling on dry earth. It’s caused by a couple of compounds in the soil, one of them known as geosmin, “earth-smell,” a term I found wonderfully Tolkienesque. (O geosmin! O earth-smell! A Elbereth Gilthoniel!) However, the Straight Dope copy desk recoiled, noting that any such reading would necessitate a vulgar conjunction of Elvish, pseudo-Anglo-Saxon, and Greek. We’ll therefore refrain from literary commentary and proceed in strict accord with science. The human nose, not normally considered a particularly acute instrument, is extraordinarily sensitive to geosmin; we can detect it at a level of just ten parts in a trillion. Today this is mostly an annoyance, since in our supercilious age many prefer the fragrance of machine oil and ozone to the sweet smell of the planet. But I’ll venture to suggest it was important in an era long past. Geosmin is produced by several types of bacteria and algae, which manufacture a volatile compound
Paradise Tennant: that can be kicked up when soil is disturbed, such as by gardening, plowing, or a hard rain. When a storm threatens and a few molecules of geosmin waft your way, that signifies rain is falling to windward, and in the fullness of time will fall on you. Because we’re so attuned to it, a little geosmin goes a long way, and a lot can be decidedly unpleasant. Geosmin and another fragrant soil-borne compound, 2-methylisoborneol or 2-MIB, can make wine taste earthy, water yucky, and fish foul. (Catfish are especially susceptible.) The scent of geosmin may tell farmers their soil is healthy, but this is one area where a lot of non-farmers would be content to leave their ignorance intact. Repellent though some find it, geosmin seems to be harmless to most animals, and in itself doesn’t signify that anything toxic is brewing. In fact, nobody really knows what it does or why we’re so sensitive to it, and most scientists, by nature practical folk, decline to speculate. But a scarcity of facts has never bothered me, and in this case we’ve got a sliver of information to go on. A couple UK scientists, wondering how Bactrian camels in the Gobi desert were 
Paradise Tennant: me, and in this case we’ve got a sliver of information to go on. A couple UK scientists, wondering how Bactrian camels in the Gobi desert were supposedly able to sniff out water from 50 miles away, proposed that the animals were actually smelling geosmin carried by the wind from oases. A survival trait so obviously useful to camels would likewise be advantageous to us. Long ago we were mainly nomads wandering in arid regions. It’s easy to imagine a parched band trudging mapless in the desert looking for the next watering hole. Then the breeze picks up, and what do they detect? Had they lacked the appropriate olfactory adaptation, nothing, with possibly disastrous consequences. As it was, if they were fortunate, they might smell the faint odor of moist earth, and with it the promise that they'd live another day.
Korel Laloix: Let me read that.... smiles
Paradise Tennant: I always smell in my dreams it seems find it very hard when there is food in the dream because it smells so amazing in my dreams and I always never get to actually eat it
Lucinda Lavender: aw...reading now
Lucinda Lavender: amazing
Paradise Tennant: something in the earth we are deeply attuned to
Paradise Tennant: maybe water and mud is our heritage :))
Lucinda Lavender: I yes
Korel Laloix: Thinking of scents in my nightmares.. not sure I remember any.
Paradise Tennant: have not had many nightmares that I remember always seem to block those out
Lucinda Lavender: I have heard that scent brings one to remember...but do not know much more than that
Korel Laloix: I am the oposite, I only remember my nightmares.
Paradise Tennant: scent is information that goes into your brain faster than any other form of information
Paradise Tennant: kind of goes in the express lane
Lucinda Lavender: interesting...a warning
Lucinda Lavender: do not eat etc
Paradise Tennant: one sec bought some lindt chili cherry chcoolate and it is calling to me
--BELL--

Lucinda Lavender: Only hershey's on my shelf...

Korel Laloix: I am sure you will find a way.. I would.. grins
Paradise Tennant: what kind of night mares korel is it something you could talk about
Paradise Tennant: or wouldl prefer to forget
Korel Laloix: They all follow a common theme.
Lucinda Lavender: Luci listens
Korel Laloix: I can see people I love in great danger and I can't do antying about it... helpless
Korel Laloix: The last one was of me under a bridge and watching a line of tornadoes head right at grandma's house.
Korel Laloix: Just feelings of helplessness and despair...
Korel Laloix: That is about it...
Lucinda Lavender: a very challenging part of the world to live in...
Korel Laloix: Every place has it's issues
Lucinda Lavender: yes
Lucinda Lavender: thinking...does grandma have dreams?
Korel Laloix: never really asked her.
Lucinda Lavender: she might have had a life time of dreams to draw from
Korel Laloix: I am at her place right now, so I will ask her in the morning.. thanks for that idea.
--BELL--

Lucinda Lavender: she may have had dreams that are helpful to you
Paradise Tennant: think most people have had a few big dreams they really remember for the rest of their lives
Korel Laloix: Never thought of that.. thanks.
Lucinda Lavender: looking at them from a big picture i mean
Lucinda Lavender: she is from that land...as you are...so she knows it too
Lucinda Lavender: perhaps...
Lucinda Lavender: i think we are part of the land we live in
Lucinda Lavender: we can dream with it
Lucinda Lavender: and listen to it
Korel Laloix: I will give that a try... smiles
Korel Laloix: It does have a draw to your full being.
Korel Laloix: brb
Lucinda Lavender: yes
Lucinda Lavender: I once had a dream where several generations of grandmothers were crying
Lucinda Lavender: just remembering that
Lucinda Lavender: sometimes there may be developments that we as the dreamer know would make the generations sad...
Paradise Tennant: did you know why
Lucinda Lavender: no not at all
Lucinda Lavender: but it woke me up to the idea...that generations might react together
Lucinda Lavender: more than one generation might feel the same
Lucinda Lavender: perhaps it is my projection
Lucinda Lavender: but on that i do not know
Lucinda Lavender: for sure
Korel Laloix: Back in a bit...
Lucinda Lavender: I think today is a day we project onto as special since it is the solstice
Lucinda Lavender: so perhaps there are openings and synchronicities today
Lucinda Lavender: perhaps
