    The Guardian for this meeting was stevenaia Michinaga. The comments are by stevenaia Michinaga.

     

    Riddle Sideways and MaggieFairy Resident (Paradise's Alt)  Joined me this evening for a 2 hour session

    We intially talked about the recent Jewish holidays and time travel movies then about PaB's Past.

     

    stevenaia Michinaga: haven't had a visitor for quite some time
    Riddle Sideways: so, might as well moved to the recording Pavillion
    stevenaia Michinaga: here we are
    stevenaia Michinaga:  flew home on Tuesday, slept through Yom Kippur
    Riddle Sideways: wha... slept through it ㋡
    stevenaia Michinaga: well if I would have gone, I would have slept
    stevenaia Michinaga: :)
    Riddle Sideways: hahahaha
    Riddle Sideways: saw many who did also
    stevenaia Michinaga: My mother said it wasn't "filled"
    Riddle Sideways: oh... too bad
    Riddle Sideways: our's wasn't filled either, but ran out of books
    Riddle Sideways: so that was good
    stevenaia Michinaga: as people get older they often spend the holidays away
    Riddle Sideways: or they die
    stevenaia Michinaga: with family elsewhere
    Riddle Sideways: whoops
    stevenaia Michinaga: yes, or that
    stevenaia Michinaga: something that waits for all of us
    Riddle Sideways: had a mental list of whom had not been seen
    Riddle Sideways: on the last blast. one friend, who had missed, was standing right next
    Riddle Sideways: small tradition started a few years ago was to have everybody that has a shofar at home to bring and try
    stevenaia Michinaga: saw an interesting movie only to find it was a Spike Lee movie, which surprised me, "See you Yesterday" interesting time travel movie


    --BELL--


    Riddle Sideways: looking it up
    stevenaia Michinaga: as a former trumpeter, I attempt to blow the one my son got for his Bar Mitzvah, still works, but not for 100 notes
    Riddle Sideways: ah, putting it on the list to watch
    Riddle Sideways: did you become the last shofar standing?
    stevenaia Michinaga: shows what a mess time travel can be, especially for high schoolers in Brooklyn
    Riddle Sideways: good. love a good 'Time Travel Goes Wrong' flick
    stevenaia Michinaga: no, haven't blown it in years, but the one at Rosh Hashanah was amazing, long loud notes right up to the end, really penetrating sound
    stevenaia Michinaga: no sure I have ever seen a "Time Travel goes right" movie
    stevenaia Michinaga: *not
    Riddle Sideways: Both the kids at Rosh Hashanah and at Yom Kippur were almost 'Pros'
    stevenaia Michinaga: nods
    Riddle Sideways: why would that movie be made?
    stevenaia Michinaga: good point, but everyone thinks you can just "fix" the past
    Riddle Sideways: there would be some small detail messed up
    Riddle Sideways: that makes you never exist
    stevenaia Michinaga: broken hearts, life and death, the easy things to fix, like Groundhog day
    stevenaia Michinaga: I've seen a couple that are complex and confusing you have to watch them 2x or more
    Riddle Sideways: Back to the Future, gets it almost right
    stevenaia Michinaga: like grandaughter kills grandfather, etc
    Riddle Sideways: right! this morning was forgetting last night's Netflix movie name, so looked it up.
    Riddle Sideways: found a list of sciFi movies watched that can't remember
    stevenaia Michinaga: so I assue if anyone actually does time travel, we would never know
    Riddle Sideways: made of list of all those 'feel asleep during' shows to re-watch
    stevenaia Michinaga: or we would never exist
    stevenaia Michinaga: lol
    Riddle Sideways: hmmmm, would your logs from SL exist even you got erased?
    Riddle Sideways: no, they won't
    stevenaia Michinaga: there was an interesting Spanish series about time travel, middle ages cavern with doors that brought modern day travelers to different points in Spanish history to "fix" things ("Ministry of Time" I believe it was called) a government agency
    Riddle Sideways: ha, "A future Guide fell into a time hole and showed that the Marketing Dept. of the Serious Corp. were lined up and shot as the first act in the relolution"
    stevenaia Michinaga: like "Time Tunnel" only ot was a cave
    Riddle Sideways: writes that down too
    Riddle Sideways: sorry, beel
    stevenaia Michinaga: beel?


    --BELL--


    Riddle Sideways: oh! long story... that is what a typo did a few years ago
    Riddle Sideways: ago
    Riddle Sideways: and stuck
    Riddle Sideways: *Bell to some
    stevenaia Michinaga: :)
    Riddle Sideways: middle part of the story has to do with the time a 'Bill' from Norlensss tried to say his name
    Riddle Sideways: in such a thick accent
    stevenaia Michinaga: 'Bill' from Norlensss ?
    Riddle Sideways: New Orleans to the rest of us
    Riddle Sideways: darn spelting
    stevenaia Michinaga: ever see Next w/ Nicholas Cage? sees 2 minutes ahead
    Riddle Sideways: oh yes
    Riddle Sideways: very great concept
    Riddle Sideways: liked that one
    stevenaia Michinaga: I'm looking through my Netflix watched log to try to remember the good ones
    Riddle Sideways: as said... looked through this morning and some were slept through
    Riddle Sideways: mostly the AI ones
    Riddle Sideways: Harry Potter did time travel pretty right
    Riddle Sideways: Hermione was super smart about it tho
    Riddle Sideways: OMG IMDB search shows some great ones: 12 Monkeys
    Riddle Sideways: Terminator
    Riddle Sideways: Jumanji?

    stevenaia Michinaga: forgotten password, that's all it takes
    Riddle Sideways: standing on a mat with a live blade coming at me. experienced the first slow down of time
    MaggieFairy Resident: not much of a story .. mostly just got busy with rl and other hobbies... been doing lots of painting.
    stevenaia Michinaga: :)
    Riddle Sideways: that is more of a time stoppage or slowage, but it leads to others
    Riddle Sideways: after a first crack in some idealized 'fact' that time only goes forward at constancy. it all unravels
    Riddle Sideways: leads to a small question ... how long are Your Dreams?
    Riddle Sideways: do you live your dreamscapes?
    stevenaia Michinaga: hmmm, there never seems to a clock running until you wake up
    stevenaia Michinaga: Dreams seem to be outside of time
    MaggieFairy Resident: lol yes and it can be very annoying ...:))
    Riddle Sideways: or meditate for the available half-hour and live through 12 days of adventures?
    stevenaia Michinaga: mine are usually one or two scenes of a movie equivalent of time
    Riddle Sideways: often yes
    Riddle Sideways: but, some exceptions
    MaggieFairy Resident: hmm does any one have a dream to share?
    stevenaia Michinaga: but some power naps during the day (20 minutes) I would dream
    Riddle Sideways: not really. if you have a dream please tell ㋡
    stevenaia Michinaga: I can llok back at my logs here, but nothing I can remember recently
    MaggieFairy Resident: here is a need link to Emmanuel Swedenborg's dream journal I was reading early this morning ..
    Riddle Sideways: Fitbit says more REM than in history, but nothing recalled. Except very tired in morning. like Ran all night
    MaggieFairy Resident: https://publicdomainreview.org/colle...eriences-1918/
    Riddle Sideways: thank you
    MaggieFairy Resident: he was a vivid dreamer and left behind the most wonderful collection of quotes and writings
    MaggieFairy Resident: https://www.azquotes.com/author/1435...uel_Swedenborg
    stevenaia Michinaga: nods, that book reminded me, I had a tooth vagina dream when I was about 14, wonders of all men do and if there was a female equivalent... Paradise?
    MaggieFairy Resident: lol
    MaggieFairy Resident: sounds more like a nightmare
    stevenaia Michinaga: it was, especially since I knew the person
    stevenaia Michinaga: (in RL)


    --BELL--


    stevenaia Michinaga: ok, here the last dream I wrote down....
    MaggieFairy Resident: cool !
    stevenaia Michinaga:

    07.24.19 A dream about falling asleep in a bathtub. I was taking a bath in my bathroom at my house. The warm water was running from the faucet at my feet. I was tired and the next thing I know I was fell asleep in the tub. I woke up to the water running and the tub was full with about a foot of water on the bathroom floor. I got out of the tub and tried to stuff a towel under the door so the water didn’t leak out. Then I thought to grab a small trash can to bail the water out of the window only to see the water has gotten too low to be effectively bailed. So I opened up the door and I was in the house I grew up in that my mother sold a few years ago. It had deep blue shag carpet that I removed to get at the water. Upon removing the carpet from the small hall at the top of the stairs I found many of my socks that I assumed I had lost in the laundry. End
    stevenaia Michinaga: a sleeping in a dream dream
    Riddle Sideways: great
    MaggieFairy Resident: lol socks are treasure ! my dog would steal a sock from each of our guests at the chalet and hoard them to the end of the season in a crook and cranny.. they were his retirement fund
    MaggieFairy Resident: maybe a lost bit of yourself went with the house?
    Riddle Sideways: oh great.... a dog's retirement fund
    stevenaia Michinaga: I'm sure, and the dislike of shag carpeting
    MaggieFairy Resident: lol but we all thought it was cool in its day
    Riddle Sideways: the great and wonderious Lucy(Cinda) would say "Dreams of overflowing water are wake up dreams that you need to pee. Now!"
    MaggieFairy Resident: oh she is so wise !!!! have you heard from her recently
    Riddle Sideways: personally, have a Cat that reads minds/dreams and ponces when wet the bed dreams are coming
    stevenaia Michinaga: she is on FB now and then
    Riddle Sideways: not seen in SL for some toime
    Riddle Sideways: still has her universe cube over yonder
    stevenaia Michinaga: I always enjoy visiting there
    MaggieFairy Resident: hmm cats are intuits for sure .. I use to have one that would swipe at me if I did not feed her on time which could be whenever she fancied. She would imperiously sit beside her dish and give me a little tilt of the head ..
    MaggieFairy Resident: by way of command .. :)
    Riddle Sideways: ah yes! have that cat (Minnie) now
    MaggieFairy Resident: she knocked me on my head once.. quite a left paw... I was young and reading upside down hanging out of a chair...my face was at her eye level :) perfect for a left hook ..
    Riddle Sideways: comes up at say 3am to meow that the dish can see empty spots

    Riddle Sideways: cat says "beagles are Evil"
    MaggieFairy Resident: I changed email accounts and they do not have the new one and the old one is toast - so there is not way online to fix it. I cannot remember the password I used. I suspect if I call someone a human .. it can get sorted ..
    MaggieFairy Resident: *no
    stevenaia Michinaga: only in Second Life
    MaggieFairy Resident: I have been dreaming about being outside a lot lately. lying in fields looking at the sky .. but not much happens in those dreams.. the clouds spin by that is about it .. they are really restful
    MaggieFairy Resident: there is a great lucid dreaming workshop in sedona this month..
    Riddle Sideways: restful is great
    Riddle Sideways: imagining the need to restful dreams
    MaggieFairy Resident: https://www.andrewholecek.com/events/advanced-lucid-dreaming-and-dream-yoga-retreat-sedona-arizona/

    Riddle Sideways: oooo so cool
    MaggieFairy Resident: I have a friend who can fly anywhere he wishes to go .. he just thinks it in his dream ..
    Riddle Sideways: many flying dreams
    Riddle Sideways: not controling where they go tho
    MaggieFairy Resident: must feel great ..
    MaggieFairy Resident: very free
    stevenaia Michinaga: nods
    Riddle Sideways: yes very free
    MaggieFairy Resident: and an entirely different perspective
    Riddle Sideways: but, to fly where your want would be great
    stevenaia Michinaga: although sounds like alot of work vs letting your dreams control themselves
    stevenaia Michinaga: something very freeing about that
    Riddle Sideways: like put on the virtual 3d glasses and go
    Riddle Sideways: like put on the dream and go
    Riddle Sideways: like time travel ㋡
    stevenaia Michinaga: never thought (or noticed if) I was in any other time than now when I dream
    Riddle Sideways: like that dream where the horse and I are discussing where to go next
    Riddle Sideways: you might not 'notice', but probably are
    Riddle Sideways: the 'when are freams' ?
    MaggieFairy Resident: Once in a dream I was a bird and their vision was so different it felt amazing to bank and soar.... but it was strange in a way too because I felt plugged into the flock ..
    MaggieFairy Resident: so many different ways to experience life
    MaggieFairy Resident: each so unique
    Riddle Sideways: yes!
    Riddle Sideways: get out of yourself and BE a different Point Of View
    Riddle Sideways: Play as Being different? hmmmm
    stevenaia Michinaga: yes, good point
    stevenaia Michinaga: that was one of the early exercises
    Riddle Sideways: Appreciation for a different Presentation

    stevenaia Michinaga: my computer remembers mine for me
    MaggieFairy Resident: yes it is hard to describe but there was a different depth perception .. it was broader.
    MaggieFairy Resident: nods but after a really long time the passwords seem to get wiped..
    Riddle Sideways: hmmm, hard to describe ... that is where we'all should look "a different depth perception. a different Point of View. dare to say... a step outside yer comfort zone. and Play
    Riddle Sideways: sorry, really like to Play
    stevenaia Michinaga: no apologies necessary
    MaggieFairy Resident: smiles and waves
    Riddle Sideways: maybe an early childhood thing. somebody explained the rules of some games. then made up a new rule

    Riddle Sideways: Play a new rule
    Riddle Sideways: see what happens
    Riddle Sideways: Be
