Morning Dream;

Alarm goes off at 8am, I fall back to sleep, by 8.09am I'm awake. Weird dream. It begins looking at an online map of RNM's fathers house - it's large, similar to an English 2 story rectangular farmhouse, probably 12 windows across the front. Then upon closer inspection the yard is covered with cars. I point out a Rover, an 80's endurance race car, and others that I now forget. In the front seems to be a patch of corn.

Suddenly I'm in the front yard, the corn has been harvested (typical old google map images :D), RNM's father is in the yard, says hello, RNM is talking to someone outside the front gate, soon follows me in. Then I get a tour of the yard. Most of the cars are gone, or at least not above ground! It's never actually stated but the impression I got was that the cars were buried and he was growing vehicles (RNM mentions that she'll take me to Mexico in one) and other things from the buried vehicles. We came across the "Rover Plantation" it was 18' long, and growing on the topsoil were many things, the only one that stands out now was a chicken leg. I stepped close to look and RNM's father says to "get off the fresh soil" so I hastily step back.

We manoeuvre around the back of the yard, to the back left hand corner (we began in the front, to the right and the rover plantation was in the back RHS). So along the back left wall there are garage doors. RNM's father says I'll like what's inside. The door opens and we walk in. He reaches forward and touches something. It's invisible. I reach forward and touch it, run my hand around about a foot and say it's a Lamborghini. As I'm saying that it begins to appear, and yes, it's a blood red Diablo. I'm rather impressed that he's made an invisible car. Then we go around the back, he unscrews a few things and 4 more exhausts flip down, RNM says they look ugly. Then RNMs father leans under the car and starts unscrewing some more things and soon the car is lifting off the ground, it's being raised by 2 hydraulic arms. As it raises up it shrinks, until it's about a 1:12 scale car.

Then the dream is over... all this in under 9 minutes real time. Oh and the dream was incredibly lucid, it didn't feel at all like my mind was in control of it.

Achy Day

Performed my first Asana today, (3.10pm after lunch, ate some Subway) well...in that I stayed in the same position, save for a few minor wobbles for 20 minutes, all other aspects of Asana have yet to be established. Which is not unexpected, one must persevere.

Yesterday I learnt a new exercise; Preacher's Press...must say it was the best workout my biceps have ever had, will have to continue that from now on. Used a 50lb curl bar. Also did my first bench press for well over a year, lifted a whole 80lbs 6 times... woo-hoo! Once I start working out again in a set regime I'll keep a better log.

Back from my long weekend

Just back from Cinci, 5 idiots encountered on the road. Got a call from the realtor, still no word from the bank accepting my offer, didn't really expect one yet anyhow, otherwise it's been an uneventful day, ate Skyline, yummy.
