If there is a username "Gorilla" then I'm sorry to put you on the spot. I know anyone is capable of going lucid and doing what you can do in a dream. Seriously, go for it and be incredible!! :D
OF course the silent before the storm.
Thank you. :DQuote:

And I meant mostly my artwork, yes. I can't actually remember what I've posted on the forum, I guess I should look back through my posts. :huh2:
I don't mind sharing artwork privately though. As I've said before somewhere, I just like to keep my DV self mostly separate from the rest of my internet self, since I also like having my DJ open even though it's something I consider very personal.
Yeah, that's alright. You don't need to show us if you don't want to. I totally understand and respect those boundaries. ;) I don't like to post too much stuff like personal information on the internet either. Hope I didn't overstep? If I did, I'm sorry.Quote:

Dreamviews revival, by 2030 it'll be thriving again!
What ever happened to our dream guides? (The Green flares, 3 stars i think?) Or is this not enough people around to warrant them anymore?
Thanks, sivason. yes it has been a while but man- what a community we had back then! Made some friends, (had one of them live with me for a few months), Met a couple othes in person (one was an admin at the time), a couple others are still on my short Facebook friends list- LOL!! Ah... the ol' days... I was a mod back then. I'll try to visit more often- should help keep LDs on my mind more.
Happy to see old members coming back. I don't really know you guys, but I hope you stick around! :)
Today was weird. It's starts with last night. In my dream, sitting around a campfire, I am telling a group of people that I had Meniere's disease and that's why my ear is hurting. I saw an ENT a couple weeks ago about my ear, which has been hurting me on and off for a year now, and Meniere's was something we talked about. But I was missing one symptom - ringing in the ear. But my ear was fine in waking life last night.
Today, for the first time, at work, I experienced a high pitch ringing in that ear. Last time I had an episode was the first time I started experienced dizziness with it. Now, ringing.
Anyways, now my ear is pounding again :disconcerted:. A few hours after the ringing. And after the dream, well, I kinda think that might be what's going on. Have to call my doctor back anyways.
I just wanted to share because I thought it was weird, what with that dream?
I think we could see a revival much sooner than that. The most users on line at one time was just 2 months ago. I have checked and at least a third of the old crowd still looks at the forum. We have one Dream Guide and I am intending on promoting at least one more, plus at least one more blue moderator. Also, new members are going to be the life of any forum, so I want to go through all the back log of unapproved member requests and catch it up. I will need Red Admin access to work on that stuff though. Soon I hope. DV can come back.Quote:

I had to write an IEP for a student with cerebral palsy, wheelchair, quadriplegic... I've never had to write such a difficult IEP before. And the district people had to attend the meeting, too. So a lot of pressure, and not much time to do it. It's over now, went well for me, I can breathe again. :)
Hope everyone had a nice valentine's day. Funnily enough despite dating girls quite frequently I don't think I've ever happened to have a girlfriend on valentine's day before. Maybe it's because my relationships don't tend to last that long. Anyway, saves me some money on gifts I suppose!
Not too much happening on my end. I applied for a government job a month ago, and I've been going through interview processes, reference checks, paperwork, vaccination checks, etc. Lots of bureaucracy and hoops to jump through in the government sector. Anyway, I'm hoping I finally get a formal job offer sometime this week. Fingers crossed
Good luck with that job. Hope you get it! :DQuote:

Rant: Woke up pretty sick. :(
So my ex husband told me that he is going to fly out to Hawaii very soon. He's going for a few months for XO training (he's a submariner). Then he is going to move to [most likely] the west coast. It's a bit sad. My kids have seen him once in this past year (not his fault, covid restrictions). He was going to retire from the military originally, and live near us. I think he's staying in now because he has a clear shot at Captain. I get it, but it sucks. :(
So, I currently live in Texas for the time being. We recently had snow and much colder than normal temperatures. Which caused a huge mess. Massive power outages. In my place the power goes on and off. I only have a space heater which doesn’t do much when temps go below 45 F. I had no running water which I can’t even use the toilet. So I booked a hotel. Called to make sure there was heat and water. Tried to get a cab to get there but they were closed because of the weather. So like a boss I ended up walking to the hotel which takes about an hour because of the snow. As I walking I can’t help but to think; “all this mess over this???” “The city falls apart over this???” Where I’m from this would be more like a minor annoyance in which people would shovel, add ice melt, then get ready for work. Not exaggerating either. Probably because of the day I was having I couldn’t help but really miss the northeast. I miss Newark. I miss New York City. I miss the people there and it’s tolerance to such climate. I was remembering back in 2018 there was a blizzard. The buses were still running, the trains were still running. It was business as usual and I was on my way to the gym as was many others. I think I have a whole new level of respect for where I’m from. I grateful to have some heat and water now. So I can shower, brush my teeth, eat and drink. Anyways, I just felt the need to rant.
Found out today that one of my students is out, code 5 (covid symptoms). He seemed just fine yesterday, though, when I was working over his shoulder. :eek:
I’m at the hotel but now we are currently without water. Luckily I still have heat to stay warm. There was a small window of opportunity to use water I was lucky to take advantage. I immediately refilled my water bottles, brushed my teeth, and took a shave. I tried to shower but the water was too cold for me. Went back to see if the water warmed up. Nope, no water at all. The pharmacy was becoming empty. Managed to get 3 protein bars and a dove dark chocolate bar for dinner. I’m hearing all these horror stories from those who have it so much worse. People here are going to extreme lengths just to stay warm and get water. A mother and her kids died of carbon monoxide poisoning from trying to stay warm in their car. The amount of suffering going on here is completely unacceptable. And over a small snow storm. I get the state isn’t use to such weather but this is absurd. I never thought I say this but I miss the times I would walk home from the train station in the bitter cold. I hated it at the time but now I miss it because I at least had a warm home to go to. Was able to cook myself a warm home cooked meal and take a warm shower.
Not feeling so good. Too much to add to write a bigger post.
Rave: I am fully vaccinated for COVID-19 now!
rant: got the second shot on Wed and at 5pm Friday started feeling icky. I am a bit light headed and nauseous.
:therethere: Hope you feel better soon, Dark.Quote:

Symptoms can vary when you have a shot. Like pain, fever among other things.
Rave: I caught the mouse! we have had a mouse in the house for about 3 months. Cute little guy. It sometimes would run out when it did not know we were in the room. The live trap that always works did not work. Bought 3 more of a new type. No luck. hated to resort to glue traps but you can get them back off the trap alive and had to try something. 4 glue traps and no luck. that is until today, three months later. Its little back foot got caught and it is now in a glass aquarium (unstuck) on my counter top. Made it a little mouse house and will probably wait until better weather to let it go outside far away from my house. We had taken to calling it Nymm because it was so smart (Rats of Nymm)
I'm not feeling like I'm being able to be productive today so I figured I'd return for a little vent, even though I've not been very focused on DV lately; lately been distracted by working on art projects I suppose. Been wanting to pay a bit more attention to DV but don't know how at the moment. My dream recall hasn't been so great, either.
And I think I finally accepted the death of a friend, in my own way, anyhow... I don't know if that's why I'm not feeling productive but it's probably a factor at least. Last night in bed, I thought I would dream about my friend and that we might have a conversation, maybe even a lucid one; but I didn't dream of my friend.
*Hugs* That's hard.Quote:

Sorry to hear about your friend. :(Quote:
