This morning I dreamed I was standing on a small raft.
I wasn’t far from shore, well, it wasn’t really a shore, more like brushwood.
I thought I could jump into the water and swim to reach land.
When I got in the water I noticed the ground being very slimy, all of sudden I was being sucked down underneath the seafloor. There was some kind of vacuum with water under the seafloor, I tried to swim back up to the surface, but I couldn’t get through the sludge.
I ended up thinking “I will die like this,” and woke up when I couldn’t get any more air.
Life
Just recently I had a horrible dream about death.
In it my dead grandmother had a hard time getting air. I thought “Oh my God, she’s going to die.” So I hurried and called the ambulance.
After that the scene changed.
There was an small helicopter/airplane with dead soldiers whose remains was about to be recovered from the ocean. I’m almost sure they were five, at most seven persons.
What scared me the most was that I did get to see when they brought up the bodies, but they didn’t look too horrible, except for one of them which was most wounded.
When bringing up the bodies they did also say the names, probably when identifying them. I can’t remember them.
There was a woman, maybe from the media. She was following the event and saying things like “They don’t have any teeth anymore.”
Logically that doesn’t make sense, it’s the last thing that decay and it’s often used to identify dead people.
I began knitting in February of 2009 when I was watching Hakusen Nagashi (白線流し). Since then I’ve done two scarfs, one gray and one red, and a red cap.
Now I’ve begun with a new project, a blue shirt.
I hope I haven’t taken on a too hard task.
I find it easier learning by seeing than reading. YouTube is really a wonderful tool, KnittingHelp is also a good site. There is a lot of helpful knitters out there. Thank you everyone.
2010/09/16 So, finally after 3½ month I have (almost) finished the back-piece of the blue shirt. I was a little worried over how it would go to knit the neckline, but it went just fine with a little help from the ladies at the local yarn store. Now it’s time to begin the front-piece, it will be knitted almost the same way as the above with a few exceptions.
2011/09/30 I have been taking a break from the knitting during the summer
I have begun to knit the front-piece and am little more than halfway.

I had a dream this morning about Jun (Yoshioka Hidetaka / 吉岡秀隆) from Kita no Kuni kara (北の国から) being in some kind of accident, I don’t remember if he by mistake had been drinking some poisonous fluid or fallen from a high place.
I remember Hotaru (Nakajima Tomoko / 中嶋朋子) following along in the ambulance and seeing it snowing very much outside in the dark night, and that the doctors said that they could wait with doing an operation until the next day, but it felt as if trying to put the pieces of crushed cookie together. I began watching the sixth episode of the drama yesterday, maybe that’s why I had the dream.
This is one of my favorite scenes from episode 4 where Jun talks the lawyer lady about if he’d like to live with his mom or dad.
He notice the small things like the ashes of the cigarette and twice offers the ashtray to the lady.
Jun also thinks back on when he once had seen his mother talking on the phone seeing her smoking and not noticing the ashes that fell on the mat, him being the only one knowing it had left a mark.
AkiraMike has done a good review of the drama.

This morning I had a dream.
It began with me laying on the floor in my elementary school having some kind of seizure. When I came around I explain for George Huang (B. D. Wong) Law and Order: SVU of an event I had witnessed earlier.
A woman had been kidnapped by a man, the man drove away in a car. Shortly after Fin Tutuola (Ice-T) followed after in another car.
The dream changes.
Now I’m seeing how Fin is somewhere in a very coppice forest, passing by a cave and going down towards a lake. At some rocks pieces that looks like a puzzle are laying. I get the feeling of that this puzzle, where the goal is to create a cube when done, has to be solved withing a limited time.
If you’re able to do it, you will get access to a small key that can be used to free the woman kidnapped and locked up in the cave.
The kidnapper comes out from somewhere in the forest and begins to shoot with a gun, Fin jumps and dives under the water and is not able solve the puzzle. The kidnapper stands on land and still shoots.
And I wake up. After waking up I had a very strong feeling of having dreamed this before. Especially the part with the puzzle that was supposed to become a cube and the small key. But I can’t remember having dreamed it, very strange.
For a while I’ve been thinking of the green lamps featured in the beginning movie Seven (1995), from a scene where one of the detectives (Morgan Freeman) wanders through a library looking for book(s) by Dante. Very horrible, but good movie.
To my luck, my oldest sister happened to have one which she was very kind to give to me. I now got it in one of my windows.
The table lamp is from the early 20th century and is called the “Strindberg Lamp” (in Swedish: Strindbergslampa) after one of Sweden’s most famous
authors August Strindberg, even though the author did not have a lamp like this at all.
The lamp has a copper base, a colored glass globe (green, white and orange are the most common), and has been manufactured since the early 1900′s in Sweden.
The Library scene from Seven
Excellent use of classical music “Air on the G string” by Johann Sebastian Bach.
This is such a very sad day. I just got the news that our family’s dog Nalle (teddy bear in English), a breed between Golden Retriever/Labrador and Karelian had to be put down, lately he have had problems with his joints.
I will miss him so very much, I love(ed) him so much.
He’s favorite things to eat was raw potatoes, mandarins, and salad.
Every day in the afternoon he used to sit outside and wait for my dad to come home from work. I think he had built in clock in his body, he knew when it was time go out.
It didn’t matter for how short time you would have been gone, he would always be overjoyed to see you.
I think he remained a small dog in his heart as he grew older, always so joyful and he thought he didn’t grow any bigger.
