Go Yankees!) Second Note: I've been really slacking on putting up this entry, so now it's like a week later, and the Yanks have beat the Red Sox 2 outta 3 in the series, so I'm feeling much better. OK, 'nuff talkin'. Here's the entry). With the all of the strange things that have been happening lately in the world, specifically, the Yankees being in this terrible slump, the Mets actually in first place, and now them beating them at Shea yesterday, it's been looking more and more like sure signs of the apocalypse. I was at the game yesterday, and no doubt the terrible sign I saw there influenced my dream. But I think I was able to avert disaster, not once, but twice, by using some of the lucid dreaming techniques we studied. I still woke up a little unnerved, though it is hard to actually place my finger on what it was that made me so uneasy in this dream. But the point is I did wake up by using the techniques, and the dream didn't take me where it wanted to because something in my consciousness was able to influence it. ]]> http://blogs.qc.cuny.edu/blogs/0906N_1432/020/2007/05/apocalypto_1.html http://blogs.qc.cuny.edu/blogs/0906N_1432/020/2007/05/apocalypto_1.html Dreams Sat, 19 May 2007 11:18:47 -0500 OK, this is kinda a weird feeling, because I literally just woke up this minute from the dream and it took place right here in my room, so I feel like the world has done one of those movie CGI morphs from one thing to another without my state of consciousness changing. Anyway, let me shake it off and type this down, like Mr. Tougaw told me to (you'll see). ]]> http://blogs.qc.cuny.edu/blogs/0906N_1432/020/2007/05/sleeping_universe.html http://blogs.qc.cuny.edu/blogs/0906N_1432/020/2007/05/sleeping_universe.html Dreams Mon, 14 May 2007 11:58:12 -0500 Do y'think I'm overreacting? Maybe a little bit. I've been quite worried about how I am going to simplify my material on Jung into something pointed, effective, and yet simple and clear enoughto be audience friendly for our upcoming conference. I've had the bad luck to have to use the most technical and complex part of my webproject as a source, and it's been difficult, because my project was really more about the theories of Joseph Campbell than Carl Jung. I have had to do much more work, actually, to put his argument in a nutshell because I have not thought about how to use him on his own in a very simple way before. But I've been at it, and think I've got something good for the dress rehearsal. I'll put my presentation in the extended entry section, and if anyone has any advice for me, drop me a comment. ]]> http://blogs.qc.cuny.edu/blogs/0906N_1432/020/2007/05/thoughts_on_upcoming_conferenc.html http://blogs.qc.cuny.edu/blogs/0906N_1432/020/2007/05/thoughts_on_upcoming_conferenc.html Academic Reflections Sat, 12 May 2007 22:06:52 -0500 ]]> http://blogs.qc.cuny.edu/blogs/0906N_1432/020/2007/05/reflection_on_the_web_project.html http://blogs.qc.cuny.edu/blogs/0906N_1432/020/2007/05/reflection_on_the_web_project.html Academic Reflections Sat, 12 May 2007 21:34:05 -0500 ]]> http://blogs.qc.cuny.edu/blogs/0906N_1432/020/2007/05/thought_i_woke_up_1.html http://blogs.qc.cuny.edu/blogs/0906N_1432/020/2007/05/thought_i_woke_up_1.html Dreams Sat, 12 May 2007 20:25:21 -0500 This a short one. ]]> http://blogs.qc.cuny.edu/blogs/0906N_1432/020/2007/05/war_paint.html http://blogs.qc.cuny.edu/blogs/0906N_1432/020/2007/05/war_paint.html Dreams Wed, 09 May 2007 11:32:10 -0500 Here is another dream I had over a week ago, but didn't write down for the blog. But I remember it clearly, because part of it is from a recurring dream, that has worsened from my readings of artists like Chekhov and Dostoyevsky. There's more to it than what's here, but its too crazy and too deep, even for me. But this is a substantial part. ]]> http://blogs.qc.cuny.edu/blogs/0906N_1432/020/2007/04/craziness_pt.html http://blogs.qc.cuny.edu/blogs/0906N_1432/020/2007/04/craziness_pt.html Dreams Tue, 24 Apr 2007 00:42:09 -0500 ]]> http://blogs.qc.cuny.edu/blogs/0906N_1432/020/2007/04/sensational_dreams.html http://blogs.qc.cuny.edu/blogs/0906N_1432/020/2007/04/sensational_dreams.html Dreams Tue, 24 Apr 2007 00:04:41 -0500 ]]> http://blogs.qc.cuny.edu/blogs/0906N_1432/020/2007/04/web_project.html http://blogs.qc.cuny.edu/blogs/0906N_1432/020/2007/04/web_project.html Academic Reflections Sat, 14 Apr 2007 21:23:44 -0500 FRED TOMASELLI, Cyclopticon 2, 2003, mixed media, acrylic paint, resin on wood, 24 x 24 x 1 1/2 inches Since I've either been too busy to sleep or too fatigued to dream lately, I figured I'd go with something old but interesting. This is part of a reverie I had one time at this godawful bullshit job I used to have as a night security guard in a building in the Rockaways. There was nothing to do but stare at the ceiling and watch the paint peel for like 10 hours straight, and I would think of the most fantastical bullshit there. Wrote this one down once for a creative writing class I took, and thought I'd share it. ]]> http://blogs.qc.cuny.edu/blogs/0906N_1432/020/2007/03/acid_rain.html http://blogs.qc.cuny.edu/blogs/0906N_1432/020/2007/03/acid_rain.html Dreams Sat, 24 Mar 2007 12:56:36 -0500 Was it really that bad?
