My sleep schedule has been a bit off the past week. The last day or two I've really been struggling to get out of bed. This morning, in between my alarms going off, I had some crazy vivid dreams. In the first, I was traveling on a futuristic submarine-like vessel. I'm not sure if we were in the water or in space. The team was on an exploration mission. One person at a time would use a min-sub teathered to the main sub to explore beyond the sub. I didn't stay in REM sleep long enough to have a turn in the mini-sub, and I'm not really sure what we were looking for, but I FELT like I was there. When the sub dove, I felt weightless and floating...like that split second on a roller coaster, but for longer and without any restraints but the sub ceiling.
The next dream I had was about Regent. The whole place was covered in about half a foot of snow. I was driving over to go to the Comm building, but I didn't recognize anything. There was all of this new construction tacked on the side of buildings...like they were trying to make the campus look like a medival castle. I was so confused. I'd been on campus a week or two before, yet nothing looked the same. I don't know what was up with that dream, but I sledded down a parking lot on some random big bag and almost crashed into a few people. Again, it was just incredibly vivid. I felt like I was there and I felt frusterated that I didn't know where I was going or even why I was on campus.
It's been a long time since I've had dreams real enough that I couldn't quite distinquish them from reality at first. The rest of the time I was lying in bed I was very prayerful. I've really been hearing God a lot more than usual lately... I'm finally letting go of the past and my own plans and just listening to God. I'm sure I'll go through denial phases, but I'm trying....

I came across a quote I think you need to hear. It has less to do with this blog than some of your other ones, but I think you'll appreciate this.
In contemporary society our Adversary majors in three things: noise, hurry, and crowds. If he can keep us engaged in "much-ness" and "manyness," he will rest satisfied. Psychiatrist Carl Jung once remarked, "Hurry is not of the devil; it is the devil."
Dude, I'm printing it out and taping it to my computer monitor.
