Dream

I dreamt that the wife and I were out about the town. We ended up going to an Indian restaurant, and were surprised to find it being run by my former employer (when I worked at an Indian restaurant). The place was empty, so Prasad and I started talking. But then suddenly it was full and I decided to help deal with the lunch rush.

At some point I became concerned with COVID19, and decided to bid Prasad farewell and leave the crowded place.

I vaguely recall some sort of parking garage scene afterwards. There was, like, a sword-fight or something. I can't remember it too well.

Meditation (Day 12)

I'm feeling fairly confident that meditation is causing my enduring daily energy. Specifically, I believe the training I've done to keep my mind in the present helps me keep my mind from spending so much energy thinking about things I have no intention of acting upon. That stuff is draining, and when I focus on staying in the present (like specifically during a meditation session) I can feel my mind charging.

That "headache" that I only would notice when it was gone, I think was this constant strain of thinking. Because that headache has been gone for like 10 days now, though I notice something similar after a day of phycially talking with a bunch of people last Sunday. Which makes me think that I can tire myself out just like talking with others tires me out. Perhaps it isn't an introvert/extrovert thing. Perhaps it is the tangling of thoughts in my mind.
