Exercise 7/walking in the bizarre: This was fun and mentioning Alice In Wonderland was a good clue to how to go about it. My body and limbs felt free and full of jello as I looked all around, up and down I felt like I was taking everything in with a feeling of bliss.

Exercise 8ab/lucid shield: pulling the shield in closer made it obvious why we should open it up. It made me feel limited and almost imprisoned. As I expanded it a sense of freedom, joy and connection with everything around me finally expanding to my imagination of the far reaches of the universe. I continued as I drove to run an errand, suddenly the cars approaching and the people inside were all part of the same essence and I felt connected to strangers like never before!

Exercise 9ab/totems: 9a definitely noticed the difference between imagining and dreaming and was able to do the same with the shield as instructed. I will work more with 9b. I noticed subtle differences and maybe a hint of magic, but I think I need to revisit this when I am not running off some where (currently) since I saw your note that "That exercise is magic."
