I had a weird, uncomfortable dream last night. I have had others like it from time to time but thankfully they are rare.

In this dream I was struggling to make a sensible, logical blog post out of a mass of confusing, conflicting, generally unrelated links to other blogs and news postings. Individually each link had some meaning (I think) but they didn't work together. I could tell that the post was not making much sense and at some level I was aware that I was sleeping and dreaming. So I kept trying to save the post so that I could revisit it later and clean it up. Since of course this was a dream I was unable to actually save it though. It was all lost when I awoke and I can't remember much of what it was I was trying to write about. IS that too geeky? Using a blog metaphor for trying to organize ones thoughts.

Sometimes a dream is just a dream and doesn't mean anything. This dream, I think, means something. I think it means that I am struggling to make sense of my life. There are many facets to a life and sometimes they don't work well together. What we want to do, have to do, should do and do anyway do not always work in harmony. One would like to think that by the time they got to some age they would have it all together. And maybe some people do. Maybe it is just not me. Or maybe I am not old enough. (I'd like that to be the answer as I am getting too old for some things.)

In any case today starts a new week after really taking a break for the weekend. I actually stayed completely away from the computer and Internet from late Friday night until later in the day on Sunday. OK maybe one or two email from the Treo but that hardly counts. It was a nice break. Now back to reality.
