Korel Laloix: In a good way or bad?
DR42 Resident: We were? Huh? I'm confused....
Bleu Oleander: for me, a good way
Korel Laloix: I have to say I love to have a plan, but I also like how life changes.
Bleu Oleander: well, you're easily confused (reads sign over head)
Beautifulmarira Resident: :)
Korel Laloix: But I don't have a lot invested in how thing are at the momeent, so moving away from that is not a big deal to me.
Bleu Oleander: we all seem to be invested though
Korel Laloix: You can be annoying by being confusing for sure.
Korel Laloix: When peopel buy a house our have kids... their desires for stability and certaintly goes way up I think.
DR42 Resident: Lately, I am in a very confused state when I wake up.
Korel Laloix: Not the right amount of taquilla maybe... smiles
Bleu Oleander: what do you do to become unconfused? or do you?
Korel Laloix: Sometimes I wake up sort of out of it.
Korel Laloix: Like I was in a dream and someplace else.
DR42 Resident: It goes away, kind of like a hangover.
Korel Laloix: I do have morning were it take a while for my brain to right itself for sure.
Korel Laloix: But I have bad sleep issues though.
DR42 Resident remembers dreams ... https://news.wustl.edu/news/Pages/25609.aspx
DR42 Resident: Me, too. I fall asleep at 1, 2 AM, wake at 3 or 4, then kind of go in and out of a stupor for the next few hours.
Beautifulmarira Resident: brb
Korel Laloix: If that goes on for a while..t ry to get some help.

Bleu Oleander: ((( Eden )))
Korel Laloix: THe sleep clinic I went to was lifechanging.
Eden Haiku: Hi Bleu :)
Korel Laloix: heya
Bleu Oleander rubs eyes :)
Bleu Oleander: how have you been?
DR42 Resident: Well, it is vastly improved over what it has been. I have a spreadsheet with every single night recorded for the last year.
Eden Haiku: yes, I know. I'm surprised myself :)
Bleu Oleander: what brings you back here?
Korel Laloix: I kept a sleep entry in my jounral for about two years... frightening.
Eden Haiku: A strong impulse;))
Eden Haiku: Unfortunately, I can't see any of you...
Bleu Oleander: probably need to update your viewer
Eden Haiku: You are, I suppose, sitting around the fountain?
Bleu Oleander: haha yes, some things don't change
DR42 Resident: For a perion of about 3 months, I averaged less than 4 hours a night, with a week or two where the average dipped into the 2s.
Eden Haiku: I just didééé
Korel Laloix: I would suggest gettng an evaluation done.
Korel Laloix: It hlped me a lot.
Eden Haiku: So this is virtual within virtual...
DR42 Resident: I'v had one.
Bleu Oleander: ha!
Bleu Oleander: we've been talking a lot about dreams
Bleu Oleander: connected with our Art of Being project
Eden Haiku: This is the strangest dream ever :)
Bleu Oleander: indeed
Eden Haiku: The pavilion and the village are very clear but I can't see any of your avatars,,,
DR42 Resident: The link I posted a bit back was for some researchers who have developed a computer system that mimics human daydreaming.
Bleu Oleander: looks interesting, will read later
Eden Haiku: As i a neutrino bomb had erasen all life.. ajno, I see a woman clalled Chiff Chaff!! Hi!!!!
DR42 Resident: Seems to be a new "feature" of the SL Viewer code base.
Bleu Oleander: are we coming into view?
DR42 Resident: If others stand, then sit again, you will see them, I bet!
Eden Haiku: Chiff Chaff is the only visible one for now...ans yes, you are there sweet Bleu, all in back like a raven!
Bleu Oleander: so standing up works!
Bleu Oleander: amazing
Bleu Oleander: so strange this world
--BELL--

DR42 Resident: Enforcement of the social contract of politeness. Standing when others enter the room....
Bleu Oleander: :)
Bleu Oleander: have you been traveling Eden?
Eden Haiku: Not recently, no,, expect to see the whales in Tadoussac at the end of June. Writing mainly :)
Bleu Oleander: what are the themes of your writing?
Eden Haiku: In response to Chiff Chaff, Maybe if I am on time and get here before the avatras sit down I will see them? I will try that :)
Bleu Oleander: I've signed up for a poetry class on Coursera
Eden Haiku: Oh, how nice!
Bleu Oleander: poetry is a big hole in my mind
Bleu Oleander: so i'll begin a journey there
Eden Haiku: In fact, I'm going to publish the 2 series haikus I wrote thru the 99 days project and I was writing an introduction telling the story of how I got to write them, from the creation of this avatar and on, so I started longing for this place so much, I decided to attend this morning session :)
Bleu Oleander: wow, nice!
Bleu Oleander: a mixed world project
Eden Haiku: Exactly!
Bleu Oleander: very cool
Beautifulmarira Resident: :)
DR42 Resident: Have you considered speaking at Book Island? That is exactly the kind of thing they would love!
Bleu Oleander: is Book Island still going?
Bleu Oleander: was one of the first places I went to
Eden Haiku: My publisher as well as most of my readers won't have any clue about this metaverse so it,s very delicate writing. You have to be precise and convey the feeling of it at the same time.
Bleu Oleander: yes a challenge indeed
Eden Haiku: Book island, hmmm, I haven't been there, nor anywhere in-world for months:) I wouldN,t know...
DR42 Resident: Eden, can I impose on you to try something?
Eden Haiku: Sure!

Eliza Madrigal: haha...like a monty python skit
