I feel well rested but I don't know why because my dreams were so action packed. I had a friendly kung fu fight scene with my best mate. I was pulling all the swing kicks, punches and jumps that would make Bruce Lee proud. I miss that feeling of powerful energy shooting out of your limbs as you glide around an open floor. I miss that focus and intensity that you get from hours of body torture. Only once you reached exhaustion does your true training begin. The power of the mind. Our bodies are so much stronger than our minds. The true battle is with the mind.
Saying that I wonder about my mind. If dreams are anything to go by, I have a lot of bulit up frustration and creativity. Besides dreaming of giant lobsters being stroked like little puppy dogs, and tattoos on people's arms that are constantly changing as they project images that best descibe what emotion the person is feeling at the time. I dream of saving people from natural disasters and what always annoys me in dreams is that I always seem to be so much more articulate. I can actually express what I want to say perfectly and with such precision, I really put my waking self to shame. Tsk Tsk.
Every morning I try to spend at least five minutes with my eyes closed trying to recall as much of my dreams as I can. It's all about repetition. Repeat images and words to yourself to imprint it into the memory pile. Find the trail that lead you there. There is never logic in dreams, the mind is open to every possibility and nothing is restricted. I love dreaming. I have somehow even managed to talk to myself in my dreams and remind myself that things are not real and that I am just dreaming. I used to suffer from horrific nightmares so dark and twisted I was scared to go to sleep. The only way I could control that fear was to intercept that fear by reminding myself that I was just dreaming.
Ok I really have to be a bit more disciplined and write down all my dreams. I have a good memory so that should hopefully be easy...or maybe it's best I leave that door closed to the rest of the world. I don't want to be THAT person who bores others with scrambled images and storylines. Maybe dreams are just meant to be kept personal?hmmm...

My dreams have been farked of late... but I know it is a direct result of all the things that are going on at work (can safely write that on your blog coz no one from my offices will be reading this :) )
I'd love to get someone to interpret them when they are more regular and less strained; it must be such a great insight into what is going on inside.....
Mayb you need to ... er.. paint! Or something. Get a creative release.
hahahaha.... I quite big into dreams...I think even in our dreams we can still have experiences that help us to cultivate our minds especially when we have recurring dreams...there's a reason for that..we need to change our mindset or perception of a situation..anyhoo... better get back to the canvas I'm finishing..way easier to undertsand ;)
