I've started playing the violin again. I haven't felt like playing in ages (and when I have I've been far away from my violin) but I have no calluses on my left hand so it hurts! I have blisters! And my shoulders hurt as well which I never noticed when I used to play, although to be fair I didn't practice as much as I have been in the past week so it might be that. Also it annoys me that most songs I like to listen to are in a key which has an open string (G D A or E) flat which means I have to think harder about fingering.
Recently (by that I mean last night and the night before) I've been having ridiculously vivid dreams. The night before last it was like valentine's day and I was in a relationship with a guy who looked like something I drew when I was fifteen. I was really upset because he'd forgotten or something but he pulled some flowers out of his wallet and then cooked something for me but I woke up before he finished so I'll never know what my imaginary boyfriend was cooking to placate an overemotional me (I think it was something fried so I suspect it was French toast or something similar). Now this dream isn't particularly out of the ordinary it was just that I vividly remember being upset enough to cry (during the dream not when I woke up) and I'm not usually that emotionally involved in dreams that I remember and ones that weird me out when I'm awake generally seem normal in dreamland. The other strong impression this dream left on me was the colour deep navy blue. I think there was also something in a girls boarding school dream going on as well but I don't think it was related (It was orangey brown in any case).
Last night I dreamt for a long time about being at Bryony's house (except it totally wasn't her house but was that one house that I went on a Brownie camp and then a Guide camp to that I have no idea where it is just that it had a conservatory where we half-heartedly learnt sign language I think and I spilt pasta on the floor when my six was cooking and Tawny Owl was sarcastic about it and it wasn't really that house either it just had the conservatory and orchard and was light and airy in all the ways that house really wasn't) and Don't Stop Believing was playing but I didn't recognise it until Bryony was disparaging about it and the dream was mint green.
Then I had a dream about working in a wine shop and being very bad at it and loads of people that I knew in high school kept turning up (I say loads, about three people and my dance teacher). I tried and failed to find a particular bottle of something alcoholic and then I had to take a suitcase full of books to an office that was far away and involved the fording of rivers for some reason and an incredibly dangerous lift was involved that I nearly fell off and was very difficult to get a large suitcase full of books off. This dream was an odd mix of colours the first part was all deep forest green and brown and the suitcase trek was sort of lime green.
I think I found these dreams odd because they were entirely in first person and were much more tactile than most of my dreams.
