I’ve often wished I could be a dog, because their life is so simple. But I was thinking about it, and realized that they eat and drink every day without hands. Literally stand there, put their face in a bowl and eat or drink and then just carry on. I don’t know if that would be liberating or frustrating.

Why is it that sometimes, I think a thought and want to remember it later but can’t, and other times, I think a thought I’d rather forget and it winds up playing on a loop in my brain?

What if life really just is a simulation of sorts, created by a single omniscient consciousness out of boredom?

Sometimes, I truly wish that life, and more so, the world, had a reset button. Single use so it can’t be abused, but still.

Why do humans insist on complicating their lives?

Why is it that some people have a need to feel superior to others, and will make themselves sound idiotic in the effort to do so? Do they realize that kinda defeats the purpose?

When in hominid history did emotions develop, and why have they become so complex? Is it possible that they actually serve an evolutionary function, or did nature create something that just sorta cascaded out of control, and now we’re all fucked in the head?

I wonder what cryogenic sleep would be like if it were possible. Would you wake up refreshed? Or feel cold constantly for six months or something?

I had a strange dream last night.
In the dream, I was on a stage in a large auditorium, sitting on a couch or something in the middle. There were no other props or anything, and I was just talking to a huge group of people. I don’t remember the topic, but I remember feeling that it was very personal and emotionally driven. I was completely calm, though, and there was a cat walking around on stage. It felt almost natural, which is strange. I’m not one who enjoys being the center of attention of large groups, and I especially don’t enjoy talking about anything emotional in front of groups of any size.
It reminded me of a dream I had years ago – my early 20s maybe. I was walking up this rocky hill that wound up being an outcropping that overlooked a small beach and the ocean. The person that I was walking with disappeared, but I accepted that and kept walking. It was just before sunrise, and the sky was beautifully alight with pale colors. There was a huge group of people milling about on the beach, and when I got to the edge of the rocky ledge, they all turned to me. Someone pointed, and I look over to see this – form. The best way I can think to describe it was just a visible energy, but it was reminiscent of a human form in general shape. I acknowledged the form and then started to speak, and people on the beach cheered.
I don’t know what either dream meant, but I do think that dreams have meaning. I also wonder why it is that some dreams are burned into our memories and others simply fade seconds after waking.

I noticed last night when I changed for bed that my heart rate dropped by about 10 bpm just because I took my bra off. I hadn’t laid down yet, but the relaxation and comfort of not wearing a garment specifically made for restriction and limitation is just so significant. Is there any comparable experience for men, or is it just women who voluntarily torture themselves with an article of clothing on a daily basis?
