Dreams can really be interesting. I'm taking about the ones you get from sleeping. I actually took a psychology course about sleep thinking it'd be about interpreting dreams and such but it focused on the affects of the circadian rhythm rather than dreams... so yes, I wasn't particularly keen about that one. Anyway, what I really was hoping to study was how dreams illicit physiological response.
In my case, my heart pounds like crazy when I dream of a guy who in the dream world I believe is my true love. So much so that the pounding wakes me up before any romantic stuff happens. That's probably my body waking me up to prevent myself from having a heart attack. When I was younger, I'd also wake up when I cried too much in my dreams (not because they were nightmares but because they're just sad dreams). I woke up with real tears too. Ohhh and the really interesting one is when I wake up and kick because I just had a dream where I jumped or fell or something like that. Apparently that one is not too uncommon because my friends experience it too.
The reason why I'm posting this is because last night, I think I felt my first broken heart due to a dream. Well, its confusing coz the dream should be happy by all means but my heart sure felt different. Lots of random things happened in the dream that don't connect but the part that I'm talking about was something like this. It was snowing like crazy outside and for some reason I'm on my summer PJs and open-toed slippers. I was looking for the guy who I love but I've yet to confess to. (By the way, I swear he was Asian at first then somehow became Caucasian on the latter part of the dream; not any guy I know in real life too). Other people began leaving their homes/office/school and were coming outside and they all were appropriately dressed for this blizzard. They all looked at me like I'm crazy. I finally gave up looking for him and decided to go to Starbucks for a hot drink. As I turned around, someone threw a navy green winter coat over my head and shoulder to shield me from the snow. My heart kinda started pounding around this part because I knew that it was him, the guy I love. He held my hand and we went to Starbucks together. When we got there, he let go of my hand so he can order our drinks. I was still kinda in la-la land about how he took his jacket off and gave it to me. Then I noticed how the pretty barista was very chatty with him. I didn't think he was flirting back with her but for some reason I didn't like what I felt so I ran. I guess it must've been to our home or some area with a special meaning because it wasn't familiar to me in real life. There was a bonfire in the middle of the room and I was kneeling down and warming my hands. He came in looking frazzled then quickly knelt beside me. He held my hands in his again and this time was blowing on it, as if to keep it warm. I can see that he looked hurt coz I left him. He told me that he was sorry and that he loves me. And that's when I woke up.
My heart was pounding so much but somehow I knew it wasn't coz of happiness. Its like I woke up sad because this guy said he love me. He wasn't even real. And if he was, the whole flirty barista thing wouldn't phase me that easily. So I guess I got curious why my heart reacted the way it did.
I'm also curious why certain details stood out for me. Like the navy green winter coat. I can still picture it as if I'm still in the dream world. I also remember the combination to a locker, which was a whole other scene before lover boy showed up. Yet the most important details... like say his face or name was totally gone by the time I woke up.

Pre-hibernation season
You gotta love the "ber" months. SeptemBER, OctoBER, NovemBER and DecemBER. Not only is it full of holiday spirit and cheer, you also get to hibernate like many of our animal friends. And what's better than sleeping in after a very exhausting but joyous occasion? PRE-HIBERNATION!! It's all about preparing for that cold and lovely winter.
Here's a few of my pre-hibernation rituals (in no necessary order):
1.) Season premieres marathon
Nothing like warming up the old couch (and PVR) by sitting on it after watching back to back season premieres. With How I Met Your Mother on its last season and the return of a few other favorites like Supernatural, Modern Family, The Big Bang Theory, Walking Dead, Game of Thrones and Grey's Anatomy.
2.) Chug-a-thon
If you know me enough, you know I love to drink. Not the alcoholic kind (but it works occasionally). Whether they're soda, pop, milk, juice, coffe, tea, shake, smoothie or good ole water. I've stocked up on my hot chocolate powder mix and tea packets. What about you?
3.) Knitteroo
As if it's not obvious enough from the first picture. I'm still a noob at knitting though. I can only do basic scarves that have 1 solid color or multi-colored stripes. Learning to make a toque is next on the list. Ohh!!! And if someone is kind enough to help me with one slight boo-boo. Whenever I change colors/yarns to do the stripes, the back side of the scarf would get a floating line from the previous yarn color. So it looks pretty neat from the front but the back side gets the weird line in between colors. If some kind soul can share a link on how to fix this, please do. I tried googling the problem but it just teaches me how to change colors/yarns and not so much deal with the actual problem.
4.) Shopaholics meeting
I don't actually do my Christmas shopping last minute. In fact, I do it all year round. If I see something that is perfect for someone, I just buy it. Why? Because whenever I am on a quest to actually find something, I don't find it. But when I'm just strolling around the mall with no intention of spending, I happen to find the things that I do need to buy. However, during pre-hibernation season, I'm just in the mall twice as often than usual. Plus there's the off season sale. Fall fashion is my favorite so I can't wait to buy marked down fall stuff for next year (and even for winter after just layering a few of them together).
5.) Decorating the Christmas tree
That and of course spending time with the family... and pigging out. Basically, everything about Christmas that makes it awesome! Yes, even that fire log channel.
