Brain surgery: the inside story (pun slightly intended)
I volunteer as a “Mentor Angel” with a group called Imerman Angels. This organization carefully matches and individually pairs people touched by cancer (a cancer fighter, survivor or caregiver) with someone who has fought and survived the same type of cancer (a Mentor Angel). I’ve been volunteering with Imerman Angels for nearly six months, and before...
What’s so funny?
The other night I had just fallen asleep and I was being real witty in my dream. So witty that I started having a laughing attack and woke myself up. It was really cool to wake up laughing, but I have no memory of the dream.
Deadliest catch
You don’t have to have an online degree in dream interpretation to figure this one out. Brett and I were sitting in a living room watching a TV when a huge king crab ran in. And when I say huge–I mean one of those ones with the six-foot leg spans you see on the Discovery...
Dental dream
This was my dream last night: Brett and I traveled to Los Angeles to visit some friends and go to church on Sunday. Usually when you go to church they have greeters who hand out programs. Instead, we were greeted by my cool dentist, Dr. Jon. “Hey, Dr. Jon!” we said. Dr. Jon waved at...
Recent dreams
Here’s two from last night: I was volunteering for a fundraiser at which Jack Black was scheduled to perform. Not many people showed up to the fundraiser. I felt bad for Jack, so I sat in the front row to cheer him on during the performance. He was looking at me; it seemed as if...
Message through a dream
This came to me in my sleep last night around 4 a.m. I texted it to myself so I could remember in the morning. If we can make ourselves feel bad for any reason (physically or emotionally), shouldn’t we then have the same power to make ourselves feel good for any reason? I choose to...
Tennis dream
I woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and I was able to remember the dream I was having. I won a contest and got to play tennis with Serena or Venus Williams, or Anna Kournikova, or some famous female tennis player. The whole town came out to see this...
You’re not going to die, you know
My “regular” dream was interrupted last night by a visit from a friend. After this visit I woke up and got to remember everything we said. I was packing a box of The Liz Army shirts for shipment. I wrote a check to pay the receiver for selling them. I thought, Who’s going to pay...
Making way for the new me
In the past few weeks I’ve had two dreams where I was cleaning my closet out of old clothes. In the first dream I was cleaning my actual closet in real life. In the second dream I went to the house of someone where I felt like I left items. When I got there I...
Monster dream
Moral of the story: It may look like a monster right now, but it will save your life.
