Months
Each month this year (barring January) I plan on doing an experiment.
For the month of February I was vegan. It was an interesting habit, the camaraderie that vegans have is odd to me. Perhaps it's the shared voluntary inconvenience. I wonder why people who don't buy things from China haven't banded together more.
In March I kept a dream journal. I was particularly pleased with this. I usually think about my dreams and analyze them when I wake up, but keeping my dream journal let me identify a couple of new classes of dreams that I have.
Some statistics: 5 nights with dreams to vague to recall, 2 anxiety, 2 math, 3 adventure, 3 erotic, 2 escape, 2 prophetic*, 2 settling, and a distant, as well as assorted inconsequential.
I'm positive that I classify my dreams differently than most, and a couple of those are misleadingly named, so here is some clarity: when I refer to prophetic dreams, I don't mean actually predicting the future, I generally mean having dreams of situations that I wakingly know are likely to happen in the near future to have a chance to react to them before they happen; settling dreams come at the end of a thought process that I've put a great deal of energy into, difficult decisions or concepts that click into place in a dream; distant dreams are dreams that I use to gain perspective on troubling moral issues (humorously to me, this makes the whole dream feel like I'm controlling a character in an RPG).
I'm curious how other people classify their dreams, or if that's something that they even do.
In April I'm playing music every day. I have an electric Banjo, a didgeridoo, a classical guitar, and various tables to hit. I hope by the end of April to make something besides just noise.
