This song just came on and it prompted me to remember a dream I had. In the dream Brian and I were playing and it was a chasing game, kind of like tag. The cool thing about the dream is we kept switching between characters, none of which were people. First it started as trees, then squirrels, and all kinds of other animals. At the end of it a yin & yang symbol popped up.
That’s another fun thing I do, as I mentioned in the thread here.
I take the words and pick the picture that matches. Or I break down videos I post. It really depends on the mood and the prompt that triggers it.
Always a work around… Removing the chains that bind you.
The mind is the matrix, the matrix is the mind.
The light leads the way.
A gamer at heart… I use that to overcome frustrations too.
The pink boxes I keep getting on the forums holding my posts hostage. Frustrated at first, now a game. Waiting for the perfect time to get the top spot on the forums. Which will mean I get top score *party face goes here*
I really do have a lot of fun with my stories. I get to replay my favorite ones all the time. The way I started is matching the picture to any twitter post that popped. My favorite was always Brian’s stream since he helped me kick this off and he’s a super awesome guy *heart emoji goes here*
Sometimes I use pictures and sometimes videos and other times text. Whatever is making me happy in the moment I roll with that. Music always playing one way or the other so I can keep the creative flow.
Laughter is the best medicine 🙂
All the stories I wrote or re-wrote had to make me smile. That was either because something amazing happened during the process which I refer to as a “thing”, had a beautiful storyline, or had me laughing hysterically as I wrote them.
A funny part of that was the “copyright” wars I had with myself over who’s idea (prompt) it was, mine or Brian’s. Since I would tell the stories by having multiple characters, it was pretty easy to pull off. Usually it between two of the three in the family… Mother, Father, or Daughter story playing out. Dad would usually side with Brian, daughter with dad, and Mom had a big battle to play out. At the end of the story though, everybody won 🙂 Mom was really the biggest hero through coming up with all the stories to tell though to get us through it and keeping the family together in the process. But Dad wrote the words, so who’s really the hero? Daughter sided with which ever one got her what she wanted. 🙂
Coincidentally goes back to the Bible & Jung things I mentioned earlier.
High Mind – Mom
Low Mind – Dad
Heart – Child
A happy family always comes first 🙂Beautiful stories make a wonderful life.
Everyone having Super Powers makes everyone a Super Hero.
That’s the way I tackled rewriting a lot of the stories I had in my head about all the experiences that left a mental scar or “trauma”. That bitterness left inside had to go. So I found the ways I could justify the behaviors or experiences I had. I used picture stories for most of it. I had the conversation going in my head and posted the picture that correlated with the topic. Which, incidentally, was also the way I got realized the pictures were popping on their own. The games with pictures started there.
For a few things where I had very deep rooted pain, I did makes lists so I could visualize the words. I wrote down everything good to great about the person or situation, and then instead of thinking how it was “bad”, I realized all the good the came of it, along with the love that was still there buried under the pain.
Flipping the script did wonders for my outlook on a lot of situations, from family interactions to life choices, but more importantly, how I felt about my self. I tend to really be hard on myself, so it was extremely important that I made sure I was always a hero too.
A beautiful thing that comes from that, is you can also share your experience and possibly help someone else through their challenging times.

This picture makes me laugh. 🙂Hi Blake,
I’ve gone over a few different ways I’ve dealt with trauma in my Art Area thread. Flipping the script is standing out in my mind. So I’ll add more on that as it comes to me. Feel free to ask any questions if anything clicks.
It’s not just kids that have super powers. Adults can reactivate it too if they learn to use their higher mind, third eye… whatever you want to call it doesn’t matter.
I went to Catholic school for elementary and part of middle school. So when I see things that tie in with things I was taught, it’s pretty cool.
Isaiah 29:18
In that day the deaf will hear the words of the scroll, and out of gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see.Isaiah 35:5
Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped.Now check this video out:
Can’t claim I have that super power yet though :). I do hope to one day. I had a dream about running through a bunch of trees with a group of kids and we were all blindfolded. So maybe that will come too. Maybe one of you even hold the key for that one so we can all learn 🙂
Kids and Magical Super Powers.
It’s what cartoons are made of right?
Check out these kids

So that’s the music that I’m playing as I write this. Game.Set.Match.
One prompts the other and that’s how my flow state works. A stream of consciousness that unfolds beautifully if you let it. That’s how the magic is created.
Ever read the Bible and wonder what this meant?

They are all interchangeable to me. I didn’t tie it together though until Brian had posted a picture of a little girl watching a train come into a station. Then later I had a couple of dreams, that at the time I thought were scary, but I was the little girl and he took my hand and walked me away from the situation that was unfolding. That scene played out quite a few times actually. I’ve had a lot of dreams.
But, when I looked back at them and thought about the above that’s what clicked for me.
Heya Des,
Glad you liked it 🙂 I love sharing pictures so if you’d like help with finding any, feel free to ask. I love it when they pop.
Music does too. Here’s my song for California
Also, if you want to find your threads just go to your profile, there’s a link at the top of the forum list that says “Edit forum profile” and click on “topics started”.
I did similar, only it was a dream.
“You are an expert dream interpreter that uses all available knowledge and wisdom in the cosmos. Interpret the following dream: The scene began as I was a laying on a patio chair by the pool. A dove flew by and landed on a fence above. I told it thanks for visiting by I didn’t have my phone. It flew down a bit and landed on the fence and peaked back at me then flew away. I fell asleep. I was back in my RV look at a post I made. Brian had edited it 3 times. My RV door slammed and I woke up. I was confused where I was then I realized I was still at the pool.”
In this dream, there are several symbolic elements that can be interpreted to gain insight into its meaning. Dreams are highly personal, and their interpretation can vary based on an individual’s unique experiences and emotions. With that in mind, here is a possible interpretation of the dream:
The setting of the dream, the pool and the patio chair, represents a place of relaxation and leisure. It may symbolize your desire for rest and tranquility in your waking life. The dove that flies by and lands on the fence above can be seen as a symbol of peace, purity, and spirituality. Its presence suggests that there is a message or a sense of harmony trying to reach you.
When you express regret about not having your phone to capture the dove’s visit, it may indicate missed opportunities or a feeling of being unprepared to fully embrace moments of significance in your waking life. The dove then lands on the fence and peers back at you before flying away. This could represent an invitation to reflect upon missed opportunities or a reminder to pay attention to the subtle signs and messages that come your way. It highlights the importance of being present and aware of the opportunities and blessings that come your way.
As you fall asleep in the dream, you transition to a different scene, specifically an RV where you discover a post you made has been edited three times by Brian. This could symbolize a sense of vulnerability or exposure regarding your thoughts, ideas, or self-expression. It suggests that someone close to you, represented by Brian, may have influenced or altered your message. This may reflect a need to assert your own voice and opinions amidst external influences.
The sudden slamming of the RV door, leading to confusion about your location, signifies a jolt or interruption in your sense of stability or grounding. It represents a sudden awakening to the reality of your situation. This may symbolize a need to reorient yourself in some aspect of your waking life, to reassess your surroundings, and to regain a sense of clarity and direction.
Overall, the dream seems to indicate a desire for peace, attentiveness to meaningful moments, and the need to assert your own voice amidst external influences. It suggests the importance of being present, staying aware of opportunities, and finding a sense of stability and clarity in your waking life. Remember that this interpretation is subjective, and it’s essential to reflect on your own emotions, experiences, and current life circumstances to uncover the true meaning behind your dream.
And that’s the key ingredient for me, the games. They make the bad times good and the good times great. I also love happy endings. So any way I can flip the script, I find it. It might be a journey to discover, but one way or another I find my way.
This is where the RPG background comes in handy. I pull out the characters that helps me write the story. Add in some catchy tunes, and you’re dancing in the streets 🙂
I loved the apple stream of posts Brian published today. Quite a few of them I had similar dreams too when my higher mind started to awaken. This post though, had me crying.

It’s a great commercial and a very fun song, and I have followed those dreams to create an amazing story. The big screen in that video stuck at my heart strings though, because that aspect of the chair I had built didn’t come from a dream. It came from an experience at a birthday party.
I was sitting at the table with a friend of mine’s mother. She had dementia. I knew what music did for me and how it opened up my mind to start to dream again and see things and let magic happen. As I was sitting there with her I started playing music and got her to bounce along and clap along with me. She was smiling and having fun. Then someone’s child ran by and it distracted her, she started shaking and getting teared up. I got her attention again and had her chair dancing, but the situation kept happening. A child, the tears, and we were back to square 1.
That’s how I decided a wrap around screen was needed. There was no way to get a person with dementia to stay focused if they could look sideways and see something that took away the experience. And then I thought, if we could accomplish that, then we could bring them all back and they could remember where their home was, and who their families were again.
The dream itself though had a gentleman sitting in the chair, playing a game where he could drive a sub under the sea. A captain of his own ship.
Heya @fiesty
Thank you so much for stopping by 🙂 Good call on msg’ing here. I love having company, though I’m cool with rolling solo too, I do that daily.
I appreciate the comments about the photos. I feel the same. Maybe the rules will change in the near future. Brian is a scientific type, maybe he’s testing theories.
You should start one too! I loved the image you posted of the dancing couple. I used to Ballroom Dance as a profession when I was younger, so it was a beautiful mix.
Right now I’m living it up RV style 🙂
That wasn’t the first time it happened either. The google maps heist happens frequently. This is what it looks like when it changes itself sometimes. The blue dot where I was, the dotted line leading to the “clue”
Yesterday was a fun day 🙂
I visited the BioDome in Oracle, AZ. The trip around the dome was really heated, so I rushed through it a bit. When I was leaving I had to pick a campground to stay at for my next stop. I opened up my google maps and added to town, and got directions. Then the map changed to a different starting point then where I was. It was starting me at a town named “Cool Ridge”. So I thought Ok, looking for a pool then! Found one and arrived. After I got settled in I decided to take a stroll around the park and get some photos. It had a really cool walking path elevated from the lot then I went down and got the pretties pictures of the sun setting behind the mountain ridge. 3 prompts in 1?
Which led to a funny story about this morning. I’m using a picture from last night though cause I loved the sunset.
I was out walking the dogs and on my way back I met a neighbor. We had a nice conversation then I let him know I had to go in to feed the dogs. He was a very chatty type, kept going on. Soon he was giving unloaded his bikes me bicycle instructions and outlining all the places I should go. I was slowly trying to back away from the conversation, but he was going the other direction. He was now inviting me to go on a motorcycle ride to a bar in some other town. He then went into the story about the bar, which went like this:
I went to this bar and was really cool, so much character. It had these little stickers though. First one was a Trump sticker. But then I looked over and saw a Biden sticker, and I couldn’t believe it! A Biden sticker at a bar?? But then I looked over and saw a third. That sticker said, “The Bar is a bitch, just not your bitch.”
To which I responded, “It really funny how those synchronicities add up in your mind.”
Then said thank you for the conversation and took my pups in to eat their breakfast. 🙂
The options to choose from where generated by the top line on Pinterest. A cross stitch image was picked here. It happened to be the first in the line, but that’s not always the case. I pick the one that makes me smile.
To add to this, the new article ties in perfectly. The title here “Add this sentence”… What that means to me would be “Picture this”. So tieing the two prompts together with the theme of the article, this picture popped for me. The Wizard 🙂
