There were pretty horrible aspects to it, @eth. One of them like a dark death ritual. Another part of it was just really disgusting. Affected me more on waking than in the actual dream. Not too horrible though. Mostly I look at dreams as 'free movies'.
@outlander, looking forward to the images when they clear moderation. Happened to see that cockatoo image you sent @utopia (good morning to you too). Great shot! It's hard getting a good shot of a flock of birds. I love the expanse of sky in it too. Maybe if you are not into art at the moment, you could do some more photography. Looks like you have an eye for it.

Yum, @outlander, love those breakfast foods. I'd especially be into the pancakes like a shot! The fruit looks great too though.

Hello Everyone
Got pretty cool last night, -4 something, pipes were frozen this morning lucky I had enough water in the kettle for a couple of cuppas
Gonna have to start turning the pump off before I go to bed, otherwise it drains the batteries & isn't real good for said pump - trying to keep proper pressure in the line that's frozen.
I'm off to talk to a very patient lady today I'm going to drop my sessions down to once a month due to the cost of fencing materials & labour. I'm back to my normal self, I'm out of the dark hole. A fence might seem like a pretty boring thing, but to me it's the most exciting thing I've had to look forward to in a very long time. There's a joy of fear, excitement; the joy will be knowing I can open the house gate & my bowling ball of muscle, my big tough Pitty {who's currently curled up on his lambskin covered up with a blanket
}, can go out & check a much larger area . . . & run
the fear is that it won't get finished, I'm putting my lifes savings into it, I can't do it myself.
Dear Mazy I'm glad your mood is okay & that your not getting that common side effect {there's nothing common about you!
}
Outlander, I read a couple of posts - what have you done to your hand/wrist? Never feel that your emotions are silly, there's always a reason for them it's just that sometimes we don't know what it is
Love to you all

I'd love to learn photography and learn to take nature and wildlife photos.
But I don't even have a camera. Lol.
On the wish list.

@Exoplanet, great to see you in real time this morning.
Your fence is very exciting too, especially explaining how it will benefit your life and that of your young powerful dog.
Great that the very patient lady has helped you out of a hole. I see my very patient lady once a month too. Always look forward to those sessions, and the ones with my psychiatrist too. Seeing him again at the end of next week to check on how I'm going with the new med.
Love and good wishes for today, dear heart.

@utopia, @outlander, camera on the phone is an okay place to start with photography. Even just reading some stuff online about framing and other aspects of photography would probably give an okay grounding to go out and just start developing your own style. Funny that I am encouraging you both to photography because I only very rarely take shots myself these days. Used to be into it in a big way when I was younger though. It was always a good reason to get out of the flat and onto the streets or into the country, wherever there was a photo opportunity (they are everywhere, even in still lives from around our own home).

That dream sounds awful @Mazarita No wonder it affected you after waking. Our minds can come up with things so bizarre in dreaming. Hope the effects are wearing off by now.
