Clownish Couture

I just had a dream where I was a clown and I was outside the Manhattan Louis Vuitton store. Somehow I was using Louis Vuitton to further my own ends, which were kind of vague in the dream but had something to do with the support and development of clowning. So far Louis had made a window display with clowns wearing his clothes, and the clincher was a mass demonstration of clowning outside the store. Some people really got into it and I began clowning for them. The way I can tell this wasn't a lucid dream is that I was terrible as a clown. I was doing the cheesiest, least athletic things possible, none of which I've never seen a clown do. But the people loved it, and the lesson I got while in my dream was that if you try your hardest people will eat it up.

Not quite sure what to make of that one.

SuperHusayn?

I had a really good night's sleep last night and it made me think about 2 dreams I had last week. For two consecutive mornings I had dreams where I saved THE ENTIRE WORLD. In the first no one in the world knew how to hold babies. It was like I could see everyone's fear and nervousness. So this doctor who was the last person on earth who knew how recruited me and said that we were going to teach everyone. When the alarm went off (I had a lecture to go to), I turned on the light for some reason, maybe to bring light into the world?(even though it's really bright in our room in the morning), and went back to sleep...but it didnt' feel like sleep. It was just how I went back to the world where I saved babies. When I went back to sleep I continued the dream where I left off. Needless to say I missed the lecture. What's a lecture when you have something so important to be done?
My dream the next morning had it that no one in the world knew what study circles (a Baha'i form of small group study designed to lead to spiritual and community transformation) were. So I went to work teaching everyone about study circles. Same thing happened when the alarm went off--I couldn't tear myself away from the people that needed me. Thoughts on the meaning?

Today I will:
-Try to finish my paper on religious pluralism
-Go to financial aid
-Take Suzanne to Batavia?
-Grade papers
-Work out right after this.
-Frolic (we have snow for the first time here!)
