Weird Dreams

So I have not really kept up on this blog, and that is just what happens in my life. I get busy and things I start fall to the way-side.
But some of the rocky road of life is settling, and I am realizing I need to do more random thought writing, so I hope that will mean I'll resurrect this blog.

A good place to start with the random thoughts is a few interesting dreams I've had recently.

1) Random Acts of Writing:
This dream was a few weeks ago now. In the dream I was going around asking people for common sayings, and then using the internet doing a search to build a random story from the information the websites (such as wikipedia) would have on the common saying. That was until one person started to give me some metaphorical story - beyond the short common saying.

2) Feline Comfort:
Last week I was feeling quite down (life had thrown me a couple curve balls, that hit me hard), and this one dream seemed to comfort me. I am not sure if the entire thing was a dream or if I actually woke up at one point. Where I recall it starting is feeling a cat come visit me in bed. Now I do not live with cats, but grew up with them. I 'woke up' (for real or in my dream?) and said to myself: 'That felt like the spirit of Hailey (my old cat, passed away about 4 years ago). Thank you for visiting me Hailey.' Then I went back to sleep, where two more cats visited me in bed - I could feel them, and hear them purr. I got up (in the dream) to follow them, and see how they got into my apartment. They showed me that I had left the apartment door slightly open. They left my apartment and I followed (not wearing anything), and they went down the hall to a neighbour's apartment where there was a good looking guy waiting for them - he'd just moved in (in the dream). It felt comforting to have the cats visit me.

3) Are they Good or are they Bad?:
Last night's dream was very sci-fi. I was assisting with the set up of a colony on a planet. We heard word of a ship of unknown origins on its way to us, and were monitoring any changes in extra-terrestrial signals. I was watching a monitor that showed a variety of sinusoidal waves (stellar spectrum, radio waves, etc). As word came in that the ship was approaching, I noticed a few signs on the monitor - signals changing. Eventually all the signals had the same characteristic (looked the same), and as I looked up and mentioned this we could see this huge ship appear in the sky. We had no communication from them, but there was nothing to believe they were threatening, but nothing to believe they were allies either. The dream ended pretty much there, the ship in the sky, a feeling of wonder and uncertainty, with a little fear of the 'unknown'.
