I'm sure this has been asked before, but why is LJ always dead on Sunday evenings? It's baffling. I'd have thought most people would have net access at home by now, so it can't be a 'can only post at work' thing, and I'd also expect people to be in on Sunday evenings since it's a school night, kicking around at home and potentially thinking of interesting things to post. Is it that you can't spod without the thrill of the forbidden, the threat of the boss popping up behind you? Is Sunday your sacred night to spend offline with your real-life people? Is it just that no one goes online because they assume no one else will be there?

...No, I'm not procrastinating. Why do you ask?

Black Dog Sabbath

Sunday evening is a time divinely ordained for solitude to be painful to people who are alone. That's why the web is dead tonight.

Meanwhile, I'm at my cousin Christopher's hill farm in the Nagle Mountains and realising, consciously and clearly, that I do not wish to be here. Yes, they are nice pople but... Some other time, I'll run through the reasons, but I have eaten his meat and drunk his ale: I will not speak ill of him and his family. Not tonight, and not while I am under his roof.

Realising subliminally that I do not wish to be here has led my dreams into places that I ought to be glad to have seen and finally understood. But on the whole, I'd rather not: we all have things in memories of our formative experiences that are best left well alone.

Let's just say that the solitude weighs on me more heavily than it has done at almost any time since I started LiveJournalling.

Which leaves me wondering: how does 'place' affect your dreams?

I've been thinking about this, and I can't see a correlation between where I am physically and what I dream, or the atmosphere of the dreams. Except that they seem a bit more vivid and a bit more obvious in what they're trying to say when I'm back in Ireland. Odd that.

My dreams aren't usually relevant to what's happening now. It takes new things and experiences several months to show up in my dreams. But if I dream about a new person or place as soon as I meet it, I know it has to matter to me in a big way.

Good luck with your family angst (I've had big helpings of it over the last few weeks).
