A dreamer's dreams....

⁵ And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more. Genesis 37:5

When I read about Joseph and his dreams and how they affected his life, the story just amazes me. Could you imagine having a dream that foretold your future? Furthermore, having a dream that would turn your family against you?

Throughout my entire life I've had a great range of dreams in my sleep (any many during the day), from scary to exciting to even down right depressing. Just the other night I had an awesome dream, it was full of action and adventure, it was so good that I remember waking up and then forcing myself back to sleep just to finish it. I love those, I seem to always wake up in a "lets do this" mood. 

Oh, and just so you know, my dreams are extreme; in most cases there is no time frame, no real basis, and I even switch roles quite often. So think of it as a bizarre Alice in Wonderland effect. Seriously, once I dreamed I was a 'rambo' like character killing dinosaurs on an island that turned into a castle, then a hotel, and finally boat, only to be overturned by the wave from some rock hitting Earth; a totally out there dream full of typical movie scenarios.

So, I was reading the other day, when I had a little down time, about the whole dream interpretation thing, which got me wondering if I would ever dream something like what Joseph dreamed. Granted I don't think I'll ever be running around an island with a red strap around my head shooting at huge beasts, but if you read about it Joseph's dream is just about as strange. Inanimate objects moving on their own, standing, bowing, I mean he even had the sun, moon, and stars, 'revolving around him' lol....just as absurd as any of my dreams. 

How strange it must have been for Joseph, to not only dream these dreams but to see his dreams come true. I wonder if he knew the meaning of these dreams? I know later he goes on to interpret the other dreams after stating "Do not interpretations belong to God?" Gen. 40:8. So I wonder, did God give him knowledge to the meaning as a boy, did he get a hint of whats to come? There would be so many things I would want to know, if it was to happen to me, but then again would I really want to know the meaning of my dream? It didn't turn out so great for the baker.

These days I couldn't guess how my dreams would be interpreted. They are so chaotic I couldn't imagine what they could be other than my mind releasing pent up inspiration or imagination I've had throughout the day. It's a strange thing, dreams. 

What affect would it have on my future, if I were to dream about it? How about you? Do you think you would realize it was your future or would you merely shrug it off as imagination running rampant? Have you had any "future telling" dreams?

Finally....a few pellets of the mind.

So, I've had this blog for almost a year now, but the moment I made it I lost the time to input anything. Not to mention the whole keeping up and "making it pretty" part just turned me off to the whole idea (especially when I kept getting error messages), but now I've decided to try another go at it. Thus far, its not looking too good, I spent a few hours trying to wrap my head around the whole design element & customizing the look. It's several fuzzy header pictures later and I'm still aggravated. *sigh* I guess I'm just not a techie (though some think I am).

So to the actual blogging. For those of you who don't really know me, I'm not really all that outgoing, most people first see me as the quiet, sweet girl *rolls my eyes* Oh, how deceiving I must be. I'm actually quite a talker if you get me on the right subjects, seriously get me going on Anime, Manga, Ball Jointed Dolls, anything Asian, Photography, drawing, travel, and etc. and I'll talk your ear off. Unfortunately for me the area where I live doesn't have a whole lot of people that are into things like I mentioned, so my real conversations are limited. Most times its a constant flow of weather this, job that, guess what she/he has been doing....so who wouldn't be quiet and just slightly zone out. hahaha I'm not really that bad, but you get the gist. ^_^

I do have a lovely partner in crime, Lola, my devious Boston Terrier. I've had her for about a year and well she loves sleeping and eating...you know the dog things. She's an unfortunate model in several of my photos and well often has to suffer the constant glare of my lens, such as:

or maybe something like this

Isn't she just adorable.

If I'm not following her around with my camera, then I'm either at work or sleeping. Seriously, I work a lot; an unfortunate curse of modern day living. Man, would I ever love to just go back in time where things were not so "fast" where you could live your life not just survive it. LOL

On that note, recently I've been contemplating my vacation time for the remainder of the year. You know that time you use to "escape reality." I get a whole 2 weeks, for the whole year just 2 measly weeks, how sad is that. So for one of those weeks I've already planned a visit to see Chico, my little bro, & Ale, my little sis (well sis-n-law but she's a sis to me). Just so you know we click like a camera at a fashion show (aha aha I'll stop); but seriously me and Ale just work wonderfully together...we feed off each others ideas and creativity making an unstoppable force of ....wait is it just me or is that starting to sound like the introduction of some superhero show. LOL Then again we can fly:

See....what did I tell you.
So, back on track I've been contemplating what to do. For the week I'm visiting them I already know there shall be photoshoots and fun activities, so pretty much all I have to do is try to save up my money. ^_^

Where I start to having to really think is the second week I have available. Should I split it up to spend a few days with my boyfriend vacationing and then another few days by myself vacationing, or split it up day for day?

Then there is the question should I got the mountains like I've been doing for the past few years? I mean I never tire of waking up in a cabin overlooking the fall colored leaves as the morning fog disappears, or mid day walks where you see this!!

OR should I head to a location a bit more tropical? Maybe a cruise even? I mean I've never seen clear water on a white sandy beach. There is just so many options, relaxing, taking an adventure, both? *sigh*

 I guess that's enough rambling for my first entry. . .not really coherrant but not too crazy...that pretty much sums me up. Maybe I'll get the hang of this mess soon enough and put some really interesting stuff down, but for now I guess my ramblings will have to do. So ciao ciao for now.

^_^

BTW- Leave your ideas on what a vacation should be like & maybe what you would do with that second week. It never hurts to have a second thinker.
