Dream Journal: Skin Mines (October 14, 2009)

Preface

I woke up early this morning to work on a group project. I can typically sleep in until 10am without an alarm to wake me. But this morning, I woke myself up, without assistance, at 6am sharp. And when my sleeping schedule is disrupted, my dreams are drastically affected. Not only are they more vivid, but they sometimes scare me with how insane they seem.

Dream

This morning, I dreamed that I woke up with more than 20 tiny, military-grade landmines buried in an inch of sand that covered my body. Each mine was set to explode 1.5 seconds after it was detonated. In order to remove them, I had to pinch the single antenna that poked up out of the sand and throw it across the room without disrupting the other landmines. This removal method was risky and time-consuming. My other option was quickly jumping out of bed and running to the other side of the room before the mines exploded.

After trying to remove them one by one for a couple of minutes, I decided that it would be safer for me to try the all-or-nothing approach.

Analysis

  • Was I thinking about my skin complexion?
  • Or perhaps this is a manifestation of the guilt I feel for staying in bed too long.
  • I made it out alive and learned a valuable lesson: don't mess around when it's time to get out of bed. And my "mess around," I mean hit snooze and turn over for an additional 10-minute nap; It's risky and time-consuming. Just jump out of bed immediately!

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

The Secret Reason Why "Good Witch" Feels Emotionally Off

TL;DR It's the Botox. For the past 3 months, my wife, Stacia, and I have been watching  Good Witch  (via Netflix and Amazon Prime). Stacia adores winding down to "Hallmark-y shows." We can rely on Good Witch episodes to always resolve happily. The episodes are never too intense. The height of conflict revolves around things like someone's inability to locate the perfect spot to snap a romantic photo for a new tourism brochure. I consider my time watching these shows spouse bonding time , and emotional training. My favorite thing about watching feel-good shows with Stacia is getting to observe her facial reactions to the on-screen drama. When two people lean in for a long-anticipated kiss, Stacia tucks her knees into her chest and frowns with her forehead while lifting her chin and bottom lip. While I'm typically unable to suspend my disbelief, Stacia seems completely entranced by the various characters' emotions. Wishing I could join her in being swept aw...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l...
