The Dream Warrior: Do we all have to be David Bowie now?
http://thedreamwarrior.blogspot.com/2015/01/do-we-all-have-to-be-david-bowie-now.html
Do we all have to be David Bowie now? Was the one creating the changes. What can we learn from this regarding disruptive ideas and disruptive technologies, and especially what it means to the question: how do I, as an individual, navigate the fluid world created by all this disruption? Technologies that give people equal access just bring that impulse into being in the physical world. Equality and decentralization are seriously disruptive ideas. Take for example this presentation. In my own life I have f...

The Dream Warrior: I've been a baaaaaaaad boy!
http://thedreamwarrior.blogspot.com/2015/01/ive-been-baaaaaaaad-boy.html
I've been a baaaaaaaad boy! In the past few years I've broken into an old woman's house and stolen her jewelry, murdered some people (but don't worry, I hid the bodies well), gone to the office in flowing robes and a long head scarf, killed rats with my bare hands, eaten snakes. Did I mention that I did these things in dreams? And these are only the things I would mention in a blog. You have to take one with the other. But once you realize that dealing with the nasty and scary dreams is often what yi...

The Dream Warrior: Do you dare look into the crystal ball?
http://thedreamwarrior.blogspot.com/2015/01/do-you-dare-look-into-crystal-ball.html
Do you dare look into the crystal ball? The fist time I saw the crystal ball in the Hall of Gems and Minerals at the Smithsonian Institution. When I was 11 years old, I was stunned. I walked around the corner and there it was: 106.75 lbs. (48.5 kg), and 12.9 inches (32.7 cm) in diameter; pure, flawless, natural quartz. I couldn't take my eyes off it. I circled it, fascinated by it. It was at least a half hour before I could tear myself away. But vision comes in many ways. In the dream, an old friend of m...

The Dream Warrior: The priceless gift of disorientation
http://thedreamwarrior.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-priceless-gift-of-disorientation.html
The priceless gift of disorientation. What planet is this? Your eyes open in the middle of the night, and you have no idea where you are. Not only that, you can't even recall who you are and - if the disorientation is deep enough - what country you are in or what century this is. It can be frightening. And it can be very exciting, and ultimately fulfilling. if you are flexible enough to accept the gift. The stronger you build the bridge between your dreams and your waking life, the more the two begin to ...

The Dream Warrior: Who was that masked man?
http://thedreamwarrior.blogspot.com/2015/05/who-was-that-masked-man.html
Who was that masked man? While doing some fanatical spring cleaning in the study - unearthing things in nooks and crannies that hadn't seen the light of day in years - I found a pair of eye shades my son had brought home as a complimentary gift from a transatlantic flight. He gave them to me, for some reason, and I promptly set them aside. And now, two years later, they've resurfaced. And I instantly knew why. I need to get better sleep. But rather, "Oh shit! And I've recorded detailed dreams in my journ...

The Dream Warrior: What business are you in?
http://thedreamwarrior.blogspot.com/2015/01/what-business-are-you-in.html
What business are you in? Wanna buy some content, Mr? Sometimes I feel like a frustrated character from a John Irving novel. No, not one of the bears from his early works (even though my children might think I'm a bit bear-like when I'm pissed off). No, not the tortured T.S. Garp. The correct answer is, of course, "the apple business.". When people get all prissy about being involved in digital media, especially social media, I just want to ask, "What business are you in? What business are you in? I was ...

The Dream Warrior: Yoga is a batch of fried rice
http://thedreamwarrior.blogspot.com/2015/01/yoga-is-batch-of-fried-rice.html
Yoga is a batch of fried rice. Pranayama, ruler exercise, pepper, soy sauce. I confess I stole this idea. Well. maybe not stole it; just recognized the truth of it. You see, I once attended an aikido workshop in Sacramento in the late 1980s taught by Hiroshi Ikeda. The last uchi deshi. Version of fried rice. So today, I humbly offer you MY fried rice," he said with a winning smile. Literally "union, yoking" (with the Supreme Spirit), from PIE root * yeug-. To join" (see jugular). 23 January, 2015 09:14.
