I don't know why I felt the need to post such a debbie-downer post last night. It's just bleh...this is so HARD.



I'll get through it, I know I will.

This is the hardest bit- correcting things that creep up on us. Everything seems fine, except we are not taught what normal is- so we go years with small symptoms and then it shifts. Keep taking the small steps. It DOES get better

I'd be curious to know if other people do this too...



When I dream, I add the contents of it to a physical map, and it will connect relationally to all the other places I have gone with I dream. When I return to that dream on another night, I then know where it is in relation to other dream-realms, and how to get to those dream-realms from where I am.



For instance, there is a sea-path with crumbling cement pastel-coloured buildings that I've been dreaming about since I was 15 or 16. I know exactly where it is in relation to my dream-version of Dublin, even though that didn't come along 'til years later.



Within dream-Dublin, I can go to these beautiful houses I dreamt of once, or I can go to an Asian market I dreamt of another time.



There is no rhyme or reason to what gets added to my dream-map - not everything does. I think that the more vivid and pleasant the dream is, the more likely it is to be added. Once I dream of a place more than once, I know it's secured.

I've dreamed about buildings or landscapes that I haven't been to, in great detail. Things aren't always exactly the same but I definitely remember them.



Recently when I was driving up the mountain here, I spotted this house nestled back in the trees and realized that I had dreamed about that house months ago. It's possible that I glanced at it and my brain kept it in my subconscious to dream about.. I don't know. It's pretty cool how our brains work.

Looking at recipes is like watching porn to me right now. When I can eat normally again, I am going to make these tasty-looking motherfuckers. :)





Double Chocolate Cherry Cookies

Courtesy of the Food Network.



Ingredients



1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup good quality cocoa powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 stick butter, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup dry red wine, such as burgundy

10 ounces dark chocolate, broken into chunks

1 cup dried tart cherries





Directions



Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.



Combine flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking soda in a bowl. In a bowl of an electric mixer, or with a handheld mixer, combine butter and sugars until fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, and wine and combine. Slowly in batches add the flour mixture until just combined. Fold in the chocolate and cherries. On a nonstick cookie sheet, place a heaping tablespoon of dough for each cookie about 2 inches apart from each other. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until tops are still soft looking but edges look firm.

I totally understand food porn. Will all of my doggone allergies - watching someone put butter on a biscuit and then take a bite makes me feel like a voyeur.
