My Dream June 18, 2010 - the Dark Staircase - Updated
I first posted this in my Facebook profile and I have added an update at the end.
****************************************************************************************
My Dream June 18, 2010 - the Dark Staircase:
That morning I dreamt that I was walking up a high flight of stairs that had no handrail, the stairwell was kind of dark and spooky. I was on my way to participate in some kind of art event, it was very important that I continue through this to get there.
I kept trying not to look down, though out the corner of my eye I would see the lower levels, get a little dizzy & slow down. When I had climbing about 8 levels and had only a few more floors to go, I heard someone on the floor I was on. I opened the door, entered the hallway and met a young lady who was probably in her mid twenties, she was about my height, slender, of European descent and had straight light brown hair parted in the middle that reached to her shoulders.
She asked where I was going, after I told her, she said I was very brave, she didn’t have the courage to go up that staircase and anyway, with the medium / discipline she works in she doesn’t need to go up there. I thanked her, turned to enter the stairwell again to continue my journey and then I woke up.
Update:
The synchronistic thing about this dream is I had a similar experience last year where I had to climb up the shell of a staircase in a new building that was being built in preparation for submitting an art consulting proposal. There were no walls at all, just steal rods, so when I looked down I could see all the way down! And it was a rainy day, so it was a little slippery. A few people on the walk through got dizzy when they tried to ascend and they decided to not to go up, but I remembered my dream and kept going. I felt very brave and happy that I pushed through my fear! We didn't get the art consulting contract for that building, but it was an amazing learning experience.

Starting a Blog
This is a response to Leelee Ramsey's comment to me on Facebook.
"Jasmin I've also been interested in starting a blog :)
Any advice?"
Leelee, just Do it! But really, start with picking a provider. I like google's blogger that's what I have) as I have a gmaail account and it's linked to that, so
it makes it easy for me to use and I'm used to a lot of their formatting. I also like that I can see who is following me if they also have a blog on blogger.
I know other folks who like Wordpress, they say it's easy to convert their
blogs into a website.
What are you planning to blog about? Plan days and times to post regularly so you can build your following. Folks are so used to me posting in Facebook that I have to post other things that people will interest them in checking here.
It's taken me a while to get in the habit of posting and checking my comments
(I have it set for me to approve them) and this month I've made 7 posts, which
is pretty good and I still have a few more days this month to get in a few more!
I'm looking forward to reading and seeing your blog, Have fun!
