Dreams
I'm always curios as to what my dreams mean. Sometimes they may help us release negative info gathered during the day but more often then not, I think they represent something to us, we just need to figure out what.

I'm not very good at dream interpretation, but I know that we often take to bed with us the images from the day that have affected us the most.

A lot to think about . . .
Evangeline, I was surprised, too, that Saddam was in the dream, when I fully understand he is not connected to Al Qaeda. I've been harping on that since the war started. Your thoughts are very interesting. I wonder what may be revealed.
Inns, the university/universe connection is very interest. I have noticed a lot of unusual and unexpected connections this past week or so. I looked up Northern Lights on the Net, and they are, indeed, making an appearance around the USA. I'm going to look into it further.
Thank you for for reading and for your thoughts.

Witchflower, yes I have been noticing strange things happening...
My dreams have been more vivid than usual and something else strange as well. Things that I have been thinking about are appearing in Blogit. Your mistype of university for universe was of particular interest to me. I have not been on Blogit as you are aware and yet on the day that I read that comment someone (someone I have no reason to think would be having me in their thoughts) asked me about my intentions for university. In another instance, a blog that I wrote today reflected bizarrely with something that Hollee had been writing about for the past few days in her blogs and yet I swear to God above that I had not read any of her blogs until after I wrote my own. When things like this start happening I look to the North. They say that the Northern Lights can trigger weirdness like this. I haven't heard of them being reported yet this year but hey you never know.

Hi!
It is interesting that it was Saddam whom you had to plead to as he is not linked to these Al Qaeda people. That must mean something. Is Saddam somehow secretly funding them, through other contacts? I am not sure we found all his accounts. It would pay for him to create enough chaos if he never sees trial (the UN declared our invasion "illegal"--does that mean deposing Saddam was an illegal act?) because if he does walk, the Baathists would try to set him up to power again. I know this all sounds so nuts...but...something is not right with these terrorists. I feel it too. How can they kidnap, execute, and dump the victims in Baghdad? Who is helping them right under our noses? Baghdad is/was a Sunni Muslim city. Your dreams are revealing something....

Thank you, Loan Lady
I'll give those things a try. This has been a week for vivid dreams of all sorts. Anyone else noticing that?
Welcome to Blogit; I've enjoyed your blogs. I'm also in agreement about thin pizza and quiet dogs.

Cures for scarey dreams: A. the shrink gun. My children find this most useful. We take our our shrink gun and make those terrorists so tiny that the seventh grade boys science class in Cody Wyoming could put them all on a dish and scoot them around with a toothpick. B. the do-over Go back to sleep and start the tape again and change the ending. You and your daughter now rule Iraq as Celtic warriors and tell the terrorists your new plans. C. Wash it out of your hair- this one takes the longest. Don't watch network news as much the images of these tortured captives are shocking.
The dream may not be about politics or news--- it may be some anxiety that you can only discover.
All my best to you

Incubus,
Thanks for the reassurance. I do feel better hearing from all these bright, optimistic minds.

Maybe
you are thinking about it. Maybe it has a very deep meaning to you. It does for many of us. My dreams rip sometimes, too.
Do I have something to say about it? Yes: We're going to be okay.

Wiley,
you're cheering me up. Thanks. It's nice to hear that viewpoint from someone outside the USA. We've been told many times that the whole world hates us now. Hoep not everyne does.

The news photo's go to bed with you, how sad that is.
Well if ever we wonder about the rightness or wrongness of going into Iraq, well every time I see one of these blindfolded cowards, I say God Bless America.
And I'm Canadian.
I hope every Arab knows, that every time a person gets beheaded by these sub humans, the liklihood of every Arab getting nuked off the map is a very real possibility.
Maybe it's even past time for other Arabs to put a stop to this themselves.

Thank you both
For reading and sharing. Sarooster, I agree with you, although I hadn't thought of it in that way before. Inns, thank you so much for the kind thoughts.
Besides the horribleness to us of beheading (which I'm sure factors into the decision to do it), is the way it is publicized beforehand. I cringe inwardly now when I see a photo in the news of a blindfolded person because I now know what it leads to. I'm sure the drama is calculated to get to us in just that way. I hurt for every U.S. and other non-terrorist person who has been killed as a result of the Iraq war, but the photos and hype leading up to beheading dramatize it more.
And here's a not-so-nice thought that comes to me: Why are they still there? Someone said it's the money. I hope there are higher motives for staying and risking death. I wish they would go home so we never have to go through this again.

Witchflower...
You are a caring and thoughtful individual, that to me is what this dream signifies. You are trying to help in a situation that, as you said, you would not be facing in the real world. Your heart goes out but you head says stay put. It's a no-win, just like the conflicts that are raging around the world.

terrorism is terrible
I think we all have a feeling of helplessness when it comes to the beheadings and to terrorism in general. These people are cowards, willing to hide behind masks to carry out insidious deeds. We need to be ever vigilant in our lives. I do think that by taking the fight to them we have kept them from our shores.
