Languages Classes 10/25

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Good morning.

First, two announcements: There will be no class on Thursday. Use the time as you wish, and have a pleasant weekend. I may have family visiting myself. Also, I will be in Professor Jerusalem's journalism class today, discussing perceptions and reality. I hope to see some of you there.

Languages of Europe: I am told this class may make some of you hungry. We are going to study the Spanish vocabulary for food. As homework for Tuesday, find and translate a recipe for something you like to eat.

Cat: Miss Kiki and Jiji were kind enough to be special guests last Thursday. Please remain in human form today and discuss what you learned from Jiji.

Next Tuesday, we will have a visit from Professor Jerusalem's cat. Some of you may find her appearance rather startling, but it should not change the essence of her language.

Ah. I had heard that assignment was disturbing for many students.

He looks sympathetic -- well, symapthetic for Dream, anyhow -- for a few moments, then becomes brisk again.

You have several options. I can bar you from the area of the Dreaming those nightmares originate in. Or I can make it so you will not remember your dreams. I can assign you a dream guardian, who will watch over you in your sleep and prevent any harm. I can try to teach you to control your dreams through focused meditation.

All have benefits and drawbacks, and I cannot guarantee the end result. Which would you prefer?

Elizabeth listened thoughtful, biting on her lip. "Which would you recommend?"

It is not my sleep that is being disturbed, Miss Weir. It must be your choice.

That having been said, I would recommend the meditation approach, with a dream guardian as a secondary choice should it not work. Your life, and your dreams, are your own. I prefer to interfere with that as little as possible.

Elizabeth nods. "Could we try the meditation then, please?"

Dream nods, then goes to his bookshelf. He seems to have a hard time finding what he wants, and mutters somethign that sounds like Lucien. When he turns around, a thick blue book with Lucid Dreaming (http://www.lucidity.com/LucidDreamingFAQ2.html) on the cover is in his hands.

You may start by reading this guide. Parts of it are a little ... to be honest, a little silly. But there is truth, and it may help.

Come see me in a week if it does no good.

Elizabeth takes the book, and looks at the cover.

"Thank you, sir," she says, turning to go.
