Two Dreams- One Of Them Prophetic

[poliphilo]

We've opened the bedroom window in honour of it being spring- a little prematurely because it was damn cold last night. As a way of compensating I
dreamed I was in Australia and looking up at the Southern Cross. My, but it was spectacular! I've always wanted to see the Southern Cross for real. I wonder if I ever shall.

Talking about dreams I had a distressing one the night before last where I threw a cat across the room and damaged its eye. In the morning I was looking at a set of photos by morrison_maiden and there was one I particularly liked of her cat sitting on the windowsill, hidden behind a pot-plant, with just one eye visible. I wrote a comment and after I'd placed it, it suddenly dawned on me- "O wow, that dream was an anticipation of this!"

Did you ever read Dunne's Experiment with Time? He argued- from his own experience- that we dream as much of the future as of the past. He then went on to show (using mathematics I couldn't begin to understand) that we live in a multi-layered "serial" universe.

I have complicated feeling about the Pope. On the one hand I think it insufferable that one unelected old man should think he has the right to impose his rigid, pre-modern morality on the rest of us, but on the other I admire this particular Pope's remarkable strength of character.
