Dreams I had a dream where the house next to us was much closer.  The window facing my window was this girl’s, and it’s unclear if we were together or if just she wanted to be or what.  My hands were full with bags that I was bringing over, so I pushed those out my window and threw them to the other side, and then I went myself.  That was the first time, and then I was back in my room again.  I...

Dreams My first dream happened twice tonight, so it seemed that it was broken up into two dreams with the same premise.  I was at what was like a college dorm building.  In the center of the building was a stone structure with a big hole in the center.  In the middle of the hole was a staircase leading down to where our rooms were.  So my friends and I walked up and around to the top of the stairs...

Haiti: Day 17 – Wednesday, July 7, 2010
The IDP camp visit where I finally broke. I had another dream where I was at my grandma’s house.  I brought my laptop to play poker, and was watching TV, and I just made mac and cheese for dinner when a relative came to “babysit” me.  I’m 21, and why was I there at all?  My brother and a friend brought two cars up to take one of them out for the night.  I don’t know the point of this.  Why my...

My towel smells like pistachio pudding & my hand...
Dreams I had a dream that I was back in Haiti…sort of.  The first part of the dream was a few people going around houses and asking if they wanted one type of food, and we’d exchange it with another and go to another house.  There was a little more depth to it, but it’s not important.  Then I saw Valasse and Willigans, and they both learned fantastic English by this point.  I used that to ask...

Haiti: Day 16 – Tuesday, July 6, 2010
The day I went to the orphanage. I had a fairly restful night’s sleep, but I didn’t feel sore so that was good.  I showered and got rid of the sand and salt, then had cereal for breakfast.  Then small groups, and we got ready for our “football” tournament.  Since the U.S. is the only country that calls football “soccer,” I accept that football is its real name.  But, when in America I call it...

Dreams I had one dream either last night or a bit ago where I saw Patrick Ewing.  I was with someone else, and my friend was kind of insulting him.  I think he was talking about how another player was a lot better, which was rude to say in front of this living legend.  It looked like Ewing might be getting really mad, and I got scared that he was going to beat him or both of us up. In another...

Haiti: Day 15 – Monday, July 5, 2010
Beach Day! Last night I had my first dream I believe regarding my future plans.  I’m in the process of trying to move to California and play poker professionally, and I dreamt that the first step was moving into my friend’s apartment.  I didn’t really want to pay rent until we moved away, but I went anyway.  Most of the dream was us watching weird things on TV.  Similar to that dream was me and...

Dreams This first dream might seem disgusting, but I have the explanation for it.  I was on a bus, and I guess I had to go to the bathroom.  Apparently it was acceptable for me to go towards the seat behind me, but there was a young boy sitting right there.  And the disgusting part is that some of it sprayed on him, but he didn’t seem to notice or at least he didn’t draw attention to it.  I felt...

Dreams I remember one dream from last night.  I was outside at night and using a payphone to call my dad.  The phone cord was cut in two places, but somehow I was able to just tie the ends together and it worked.  I called my dad, and then for some reason my brother and I had to run to my car.  I think we had to escape from someone who was on us for breaking the phone or something.

Dreams I had a dream last night or a few days ago where I had a big bag of candy canes and lollipops.  I just remember looking through it for one, and that was it. Then in another dream I completely shaved my beard. Dreams Explained The candy canes thing could be just because it’s Christmastime.  I dreamt that I shaved because last night I forgot to trim my beard for the Christmas Eve service...

Dreams If I’m going to sleep in, I might as well have some weird dreams to report.  One random one was just that I was eating a hardboiled egg, but I was eating the yolk with it.  Normally I pluck the yolk out and eat the rest, but someone got me around to liking it or something.  That was all.  In another small dream, I was driving with some people in a tractor trailer.  We were going down a...

Haiti: Day 14 – Sunday, July 4, 2010
Happy birthday America!  I am more excited about Independence Day this year than ever before because it’s the first time not being in the U.S. to celebrate it.  Being in Haiti and not the U.S. makes me feel even more patriotic.  I just want to sing American songs all day.  Go America!  So I had 2 really weird dreams last night.  One was that I was in an America where cannibalism was now...

I really don’t like sitting on a cold toilet seat....
Dreams I don’t remember my dreams, but only that I had a kid, or a pet, or something.  But beyond that I don’t know. Poker I’m trying to psych myself up with confidence and tell myself that I’m going to do great at poker and win the tournament.  I was even about to title this blog post “Won the Deep Stack” to make myself believe it.  I know that I can play as well as or better than anyone in that...

Haiti: Day 13 – Saturday, July 3, 2010
I had a dream that I was in a supermarket like Wal Mart (so I was back in the U.S.).  I was there for like an hour, and I didn’t buy anything until then.  There were still a few things I thought I needed, and I just wanted to leave.  I saw Rachel there, and Juliet as well.  I don’t know this dream’s significance, but it could be a metaphor for how I don’t really “need” a lot of stuff in my life. ...

The ending of Cast Away is why there’s no marriage...
Dreams There was some dream where I was looking on NBA.com at the scores, and one team won the game by 80 points.  And other games had high scores in the 80s or 90s but it was just the first quarter.  I figured that was just a mistake and it was probably the 4th and not the 1st.  Dreams Explained The scores thing was from a combination of things.  From looking at the scores yesterday, and seeing...

Dreams I don’t remember any.  Sorry. Poker Cash games were terrible again.  I tried to make a couple moves that would work if they didn’t have the one hand type that fit the board, but they did every time.  In one hand the SB raised or min-raised to my BB, which he’s done sometimes before.  I called with A 3 of spades.  The flop was 2d Kd 5c, so I really didn’t have anything but Ace high and a...

Dreams I was in an apartment or house that had a big pit of balls like in any fun zone.  A few of us were having some kind of competition, and a good-looking girl was judging us.  When she had us fill out some surveys or something, she called me out for not adding a comment to it and just filling out the other questions.  I told her that there isn’t a place for comments like she said there was,...
