Hypno Cricket

I won't lie, I am sometimes on the verge of falling asleep at work. (This only happens when I don't have any work to do, I promise!) OK, sometimes I do fall asleep.

Today, with my chin resting on my hand, I managed to sail off into the hypnagogic state. I was not asleep yet, but almost. I had a vision of a lone spasming camelback cricket on a white floor.

Also, I don't know about anyone else, but I see a lot of unknown faces while experiencing hypnagogia.

What do you see?

I see dead people.

Getting drifty (as a compatriot once called it) is to be expected when your mind is not challenged.
At least interesting images result.

The world is broken into 2 groups, the loud and the silent, the loud speak, we see them here, the silent love, we see them there. Love to us all, even here. Love to you Sophia, but don't let this comment silence you, keep talking, you have such a beautiful wonderful voice, a pleasure to behold, a treasure to see, a benefit to all.

You make me wax poetic, I have to restrain myself, I want to vociferate profusely, sing rhymes and hymns to G-d when I am thinking of you, you truly touch my heart. You make my day brighter, and it is morning now and you have given me promise and outlook, hope and faith, truth and certainty, peace and love for all time. Love to you, and to all yours, my your family be blessed by the best G-d has to offer. Mi casa es su casa. Your blog is a blessing, as is your very person.

Sweet dreams in those moments, sweet words when awake, don't ever leave us, we, each other, never forsake.

A very good day to you and your crew this fine morning, kiss G-d for me, you know we love you.

See, I can't stop, well I better get going, have a cup of coffee and maybe a pastry or two, on me, send me the bill, Sophia, I will put it with the others till my ship arrives.

Okay, shut up jim, get back to work, okay, see you later Sophia, thanks for the visit, keep your chin up and don't work too hard. Enjoy your day!

Can't top Jim's comment, there! Wow...

Anyway, I'm one of those people whose subconscious and conciousness seem to be permanently disconnected; like an old married couple who are together simply for the sake of the children. I never remember my dreams or visions, though sometimes, as I awaken, I may capture a fleeting shadow, an escaping mist, a dissapating sense of emotion or action, or a flash of color. If I am lucky, ever so rarely, I may remember a whole image or short sequence. But I lose it quickly if I do not commit it to memory then and there.

I don't think I have ever seen anything whilst in hypnoagogia...except sparkles of light in blackness...

Twit,

You have me pondering the correlation between dead people and McDonald's?

Sophia said...

Goatman,

It's in these quiet moments of mind that we can be most inspired. Last time I wrote a poem based on the visions I had. This time, though, I didn't think a poem about a dying cricket would be meaningful. :)

Jim,

Thanks. You are making me blush. By all means, vociferate all you like! It's not everyday I get this kind of attention. :)

I think you are so easily touched because you are blessed. You're the kind of guy who would stop to smell the roses, appreciating all this world has to offer.

Hope you're doing well, Jim. You are often on my mind.

Lots of love to you.

Rachel,

Have you tried recalling your dreams the moment you wake up? Some people, with practice, get really good at this. I'm too lazy at the moment to put my own advice to good use, but it's said that if you try to remember your dreams first thing in the morning and write them down, you'll get better dream recall.

Thanks for the visit. It's nice to meet you.

I see YOU and an instrument of change...

JBM :)

Hi Jon,

That's very nice of you. :)

I don't know what I'm changing, but I know I still need a lot of personal change. Change can be frightening!

I have this book that I got about seven years ago when I worked in the university computer lab as a consultant. It's called, _Who Moved My Cheese_. It's about change. I never read it, but maybe I should!
