January 2012
As I said a few days ago, I’ve started remembered my dreams more often (only lately, and still sporadically), and honestly… I would be okay not remembering last nights. I’m not giving details but it make me wake up in a very bad and a very lonely place.
“A great teacher can offer an escape from poverty to the child who dreams beyond his circumstance. Every person in this chamber can point to a teacher who changed the trajectory of their lives. Most teachers work tirelessly, with modest pay, sometimes digging into their own pocket for school supplies - just to make a difference. Teachers matter. So instead of bashing them, or defending the status quo, let’s offer schools a deal. Give them the resources to keep good teachers on the job, and reward the best ones. In return, grant schools flexibility: To teach with creativity and passion; to stop teaching to the test; and to replace teachers who just aren’t helping kids learn.”

“If passion wins out, I am lost in the crowd and left alone, if balance wins out, there is no lost; I am the crowd and we are alone. To stand unwavering between the two requires support, balance, passion, and belief. To perceive the physically impossible accomplished, all must believe that the impossible is being accomplished in its truest form. To accomplish the possible, one must first hold belief.”

I've been remembering some of my dreams lately
and they really are just the weirdest.
They start out just kinda off and slowly become more lucid but more… crazy nightmareish.
Last night’s was a whole collection of baddies and things hanging out at some place that I ended up at, originally it was a Taco Bell, but when I got closer, it wasn’t(?). All the fast food chain mascots were there too.
One of the baddies (apparently in a previous dream episode) had killed one of my friends and put his ashes in jell-o and ate it (because as an evil-doer, that’s just what that guy does)
There was also something about an invisible man having sex with some woman (also villains) and a werewolf of sorts. After the werewolf turned, I took his wallet and money from his pants and hid the money in my underwear (for some reason, I was wear a t-shirt and Flash underwear).
Anyway, the dream lasted in detail through the whole night (within the dream) and ended with me stealing some snacks and cokes and things that were for sale (because it was also a store? I don’t know) and leaving. Without me forcing myself upon the other characters in the dream, they didn’t notice me at all, so I knew I was safe stealing things. At the end of the dream, I was still in my underwear, but I had a backpack from somewhere….
Anyway, it’s very rare that I remember my dreams, so I’ve been trying to keep tabs on them somehow. You’re welcome, tumblr. Hope you enjoyed that.

“So avoid using the word ‘very’ because it’s lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don’t use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys - to woo women - and, in that endeavor, laziness will not do.”
