Dream

Dreamt I went and saw a remake of... some movie at the theatre. Then my being in the theatre merged with the movie's story. There were priests at the theatre, and the main character got attacked with some sort of soul-stealing dagger, which transformed his face into a heavy-makeup KISS-member lookalike.

I then tried to drive home in a truck that was a lot like the truck I rented two months ago (black, with backseat area with own doorway entrance). It was like I was driving from the backseat, and my wife got in the way to ask me something. And then I woke up to my wife asking me if I was awake, as apparently I was sleeping with my eyes open. Her position and pose was the same as it was in my dream.

Meditation (Day 65)

Today I kept my pose the entire 45 minutes. Afterwards, my left leg below the knee was completely without feeling, but feeling came back very quickly (within like 5 steps I could more-or-less walk normally).

I'm more cofindent after today that my introspective attention is getting better and more automatic, and still think that this is the path to constant introspective awareness. Still a lot of gross distractions, but it seems that as soon as my attention leaves the breath, I have this "focus on the breath" chant start in the background, similarly to how a song can be stuck in my head playing in the background.

Extracurricular Stuff

So, I'm going to try to do extracurricular stuff today, but ASAP. Today is another quakecon at home day, and there may in fact be just as much drinking today as there was yesterday.
