Thread: Task of the Month for November 2009

there is no way I'm trying the advanced one, I can usually feel pain in my dreams

what the heck is a somersault, anyways? what a weird word. i spun around in the air with my hands supporting my weight in a dream this morning... does that count?

Just say, "I feel no pain, this is a dream."

I would say so. I don't really know the difference between a somersault in the air and a flip. I guess with a somersault in the air, you push your hands on imaginary ground?

Yes. Thank, you. Epically mad.

ok. i looked up that strange word in the dictionary:

somersault |ˈsəmərˌsôlt|
noun
an acrobatic movement in which a person turns head over heels in the air or on the ground and lands or finishes on their feet.

that's what i did!

here's the excerpt from my journal with details on the "somersaulting" part:

i’m in a music store and some kid walks by carrying a loose guitar string. the string pokes me just beneath my eye and i start yelling at the kid. i go up to the counter and see A. (a friend who now lives far away). some music is playing and i start to move in a circle with my upper body while my feet are in one spot on the floor.

i realize i’m dreaming and continue my swaying/dancing movement. then i spin around for awhile with my arms holding up the rest of my body. my legs are sort of turning over my head and i do what i think to be break dance moves. i don't seem to have a spine - more like a rotating robotic lower body. i actually get tired, stop and end up on my feet. <--- there ya go.

some old white guy in a plaid kanga hat is furious that i’m dancing and marches up to me and A. (we’re now in a misty, green yard) and i say “hey guess what!” and grab his hat. i spin it off into the distance and say “this is a dream!” he run’s off to get it and goes under a big tree. he starts picking up some round, spiky seed balls and throws them at me. i have his hat again and i block the seeds with it and wake up.

It's a flip guys.It's just an alternative saying I guess. lol
(Sorry about the above post)

if it was a flip it would be "do a flip." i just looked up the definition!

One thing I want to get into in dreams is making food for people, engaging the taste and smell sense in the brain. I did it once. It was cool.
