A Trail of Cheese

Like I have already said in Reasons for this Blog there are several reasons why I started with this blog. During the ride I have come up with three new reasons: to improve my symbology-skills, to become more aware in general and finally because of the fun of it! As grown-ups we are sometimes inclined to take life a bit too seriously. Playing around with dreams can trigger a new sense of joy. I wouldn't mind if I would have more dreamassociations during the day, I would sure experience that as a welcome enrichment.

Last night I had discovered that one of my colleagues was living in about the same street as I was living. I wanted to check out if it were really true and I decided to make a path with small pieces of cheese on the sidewalk, all the way from my place to the place where he/she would live.

I think I had put some 30 pieces on the pavement when I came at a crossing. There was a woman there with three small kids. They acted a bit like tourists and one of the girls was became interested in my cheese trail. I reassured the mother that I had only just put these 'cubes' of cheese down and they were of a fine quality and she was allowed to pick the pieces from the ground. After the crossing I somehow decided that this cheese project was not really worth pursuing any longer.

Reasons behind this blog

Every since I was 15 years old I have had periods in which I jotted down my dream-experiences. There were several reasons why those periods never lasted longer than a few months. The most important reason was that I hardly read them afterwards. Why would I spend all that time writing down dream experiences when I would not do anything specific with it?

Another thing would be that it would simply cost too much time to write down all the dreams. Sometimes you would be writing more than half an hour a day and eventually it would infringe on my number of hours that I sleep.

Perhaps by writing out certain dreams on the internet I can remain more motivated to keep on paying attention to this fascinating aspect of life.

By dreamblogging I might also be able to make easier cross-references and I can develop some kind of dream database with the possibility of people responding from all over the world. In the past I would refrain from adding any ads to my blogs, but I have given in and I now think it is fair to think that perhaps my dreams might make some money. I just hope that these ads are not too intrusive to become annoying.

I love Jung and his attempts to reach into the unconscious realms: perhaps I can make a contribution into this field as well. Sometimes I get lucid during dreams, meaning that I am aware of being in a dream. This lucid mode can often provide great means of creativity.

It would be nice if this dream blog could develop into a nice vista into humanity's unconscious and perhaps this is too big a goal, it might shed some insight into one of humanity's exponents: me.
