dream: The darkness of winter is taking its toll. With thanks to my Suzy for her help with the random factor...

I found this old cardboard house so incredible, a great inspiration for my miniature sets.
It should be arround fifty years now!
dream on 18 December 2010 - day 352
we do not always recognize our dreams.
Once upon a time there was a woman who longed to find out what heaven is like. She prayed constantly, "O God, gant me a vision of paradise." She prayed for years until one night she had a dream. In her dream an angel came and led her to heaven. They walked down a street in paradise until they came to an ordinary looking house. The angel, pointed toward the house saying "Go and look inside."
The woman looked and saw a person preparing supper, another reading the newspaper and children playing with their toys. She was disappointed and returned to the angel saying "is this all there is to heaven?"
The angel replied, "Those people you saw are not in paradise, paradise is in them!"
Edward Hays "Feathers on the Wind"
There is no madness more delirious than dreaming...
~J. Allan Hobson, Professor of Psychiatry, Emeritus, Harvard Medical School.
Dreaming is madness of the mind. The mind, which behaves cohesively during our wakeful hours, throws caution to the wind when asleep and dreams. While dreaming, areas of the brain related to wakeful cognition and consciousness, like the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (decision making), the sensorimotor cortex (conceptualization), and the primary visual cortex (visual cue processing), are completely shut off. Instead, Parieto-Occipito-Temporal junction of the brain, an area that converts perceptions into abstract thoughts, mental imagery and memories, is turned on. Cut-off from primary sensory inputs during sleep, reality in the brain is re-painted during a dream; this time by an artist who is eccentric and psychotic. Think about any of your dreams and you will know what I am talking about.
Yet, this is only the beginning of ‘complications’. The subjective experience during the process of dreaming is as real as our wakeful reality. While dreaming, no one remembers they are not awake and the experience is responded to as if it is all ‘real’. Our dreams, despite being bizarre, make us smile, sweat, cry, hurt, panic, and get angry or aroused in a normal way. Thus, one could say that dreams are a complete state of consciousness in their own right.
Wait a minute! This moment I am absolutely conscious that I'm chasing a beautiful mermaid (who looks just about like you) on a purple beach of free flowing strawberry jelly where cheese sea-lions are singing ‘good morning beautiful, how was your night’ in a chorus; and the next moment, I am conscious that it is 6 AM, time to get up and make some strawberry jelly sandwiches for breakfast and get on with the day. How are these two states of consciousness valid in each other’s context? Although I felt similarly engaged with both, are they really the same ‘consciousness’? Perhaps not.
If not, my dear, how do I know, what I am subjectively experiencing right now in the dimple of your beautiful smile and the twinkle of those deep playful gorgeous eyes, is not just another dream?
My dream is becoming her dream. She asks to go the beach several times a week to photograph the sunset. She has taken over my second camera body and totes it around, asking a million questions about light and focus.
This image also illustrates a dream for me. 15 years ago this week, my camera loving daughter came into our lives, fulfilling one of my greatest dreams. : )

Dreaming is still what is left. So lets dream and wish our dreams come true;) To all my Flickr friends;)) A better word, cleaner, more conscious, less violent.

Sticking with the dream theme...I always dreamed about playing guitar and singing like Joni Mitchell ...but:
1. I'm showing my age,
2. I sing like a howling dog, oh yeah, and
3. I can't play guitar
Update: Changed the crop.
Strobist Info: First guitar: natural light
Second guitar: SB-900 with blue gel (yes I'm lazy and didn't change it from yesterday's shoot) on floor stand sitting on stool lower left of guitar at 1/80 power . SB-700 thru white umbella right of guitar at 1/40 power.

Our life is composed greatly from dreams, from the unconscious, and they must be brought into connection with action. They must be woven together.

I once had a dream which consists of three parts: a.) A job that I like; b.) A hobby that I enjoy; c.) Someone I love and she loves me too, I see her every day but never feel enough.
I did not want too much, I did not want a big house, a fancy car or to be a rich man, I just wanted to be a happy man.
That was a simple dream out of a young man's heart, but it never came true.
That dream, it has died for many years. Because I had to do many jobs that I didn't like just to pay the bills; because I wasn't able to find her.
As time went by, I finally leaned that LOVE is not an easy word to say. So I forced myself and stopped loving. I was an idiot.
Fortunately I still have 1/3 of my dream in my hands - I am doing something I like, clicking and clicking.
Just hope I can still have the chance to fight back - to get if not then create a job that I like; and to find a woman that I love. Live the life that I have.
