Riddle Sideways: new things still can happen
Adams Rubble: not just in dreams
Riddle Sideways: well in dreams and thoughts too
Riddle Sideways: and found part of the Bell Hooks quote: “To truly love we must learn to mix various ingredients - care, affection, recognition, respect, commitment, and trust ..."

   --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: many say that dreams are the brain making connections among memories,
Adams Rubble sings the bell is back and you're going to be meditating
Riddle Sideways: but does it matter
Adams Rubble: well that's one way to look at it
Adams Rubble: So often we resolve problems in our dreams
Adams Rubble: is that just memories?
Riddle Sideways: probably not
Riddle Sideways: it is thoughts putting images together

Adams Rubble: my dream last night is following thought processes suggested to me
Adams Rubble: well somewhat anyway
Riddle Sideways: like having a problem-situation-exercise when going to bed
Adams Rubble: resting leading to openess
Riddle Sideways: and the brain replaying all the simular things
Riddle Sideways: ah
Adams Rubble: then openess leading to playing
Adams Rubble: then playing leading to unconditional love

Adams Rubble: my mind playing with that and creating a process for it
Riddle Sideways: can that be a Natural path?
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: automagically followed?
Adams Rubble: hmmm
Adams Rubble: or just playing?
Riddle Sideways: or playing leading to unconditional
Adams Rubble: It was not a rational progression
Adams Rubble: the love just welled up
Riddle Sideways: even better

Riddle Sideways: this restless mind is having issues getting to rested now
Riddle Sideways: so progression not going anywhere
Adams Rubble: play the cards listen to Leonard....
Riddle Sideways: not sure if you noted the bots sitting at the 'card table'
Riddle Sideways: then the sim restarted and they were booted out
   --BELL--
Adams Rubble: ohhhh
Adams Rubble: no I did not see that far
Riddle Sideways: card table with King, Queen and Jack
Adams Rubble: ohhh, coincidence?
Riddle Sideways: just a funny coincidence
Riddle Sideways: put the 'card' table there a couple days ago
Riddle Sideways: and got them to sit yesterday

Riddle Sideways: sorry beel
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: it has been a bit hard to keep focused this morning with the interruptions
Riddle Sideways: yes.
Riddle Sideways: and forming rambling thoughts into words
Riddle Sideways: and sentences are really hard today

Riddle Sideways: ya know, dreaming and waking are not so different
Adams Rubble: yes
Riddle Sideways: the difficulty to recall a dream
Riddle Sideways: is close to the difficulty to recall yesterday
Adams Rubble: that would be an interesting exercise especially since I did not blog yesterday :)
Adams Rubble: but seriously I have not tried to do that
Riddle Sideways: am taking notes of dreams AND am taking notes of the days
Riddle Sideways: and they read almost the saame ㋡

Adams Rubble: my doctor came right out and asked if I was losing my memory
Adams Rubble: no beating around the bush
Riddle Sideways: how rude
Adams Rubble: but she got the same answer whether i was losing it or not
Adams Rubble: "of course not" :)))
Riddle Sideways: ㋡
Riddle Sideways: but does it matter?
Riddle Sideways: can't remember if I am not remembering
Adams Rubble: well who admits they are losing the mind
Adams Rubble: the mind is a terrible thing to lose
Riddle Sideways: funny. How can you 'lose' a mind
Adams Rubble: I put it here somewhere
Riddle Sideways: had it when I came in
Adams Rubble: yep
Riddle Sideways: did you look under the bed?
Adams Rubble: it's dark and dirty under there full of bees and spiders
Riddle Sideways: hey, here are the Lost marbles
Adams Rubble: lost boys?
Riddle Sideways: yep

Riddle Sideways: reminds of a friends TED talk.
Riddle Sideways: editor needs to find the link

Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: how can you lose something you never had?
Riddle Sideways: somebody said that
Riddle Sideways: umm, was the doctor ok with your answer?
Adams Rubble shrugs. I guess so. She moved on
Riddle Sideways: then she hit your knee with a hammer ㋡
Adams Rubble: was a virtual visit :)
Riddle Sideways: hahaha, "hit yourself with a hammer and tell me if it hurts"
Adams Rubble laughs
Riddle Sideways: and you pay her for that?
Adams Rubble: the insurance company pays her pennies on the dolalr
