I keep having weird dreams at my current accom. Last night it was a very vivid one where I'd somehow had to move into a share house full of irritatingly self-absorbed and messy adults who were in their little northside cliques and weren't keen on making space for me. It was so alienating and made me desperate to move back to my own place. I bolted awake thinking I needed to email my previous landlord asap and beg to go back to my own apartment. The relief I felt when I realised a few minutes later that I didn't need to do any of that...
The day before it was about my brother betraying my location to my dad. Definitely a theme of despair and being trapped, and waking up to remember what freedoms I do have.
I think it's the humidity. 90%+ every day indoors. It always brings up bad memories...
Yesterday was the only day on the island where we've had sun. Today it's overcast again and this afternoon it's back to more rain... slept in massively after two days of hiking (with a thoroughly unconditioned body), time to get outta bed and go walk to the nearest town for some coffee and to get some postcards.
How on earth do the trees in Japan look so naturally stylish over waterbodies though?!? Is it the tiered structure of the crown?
pretty even in the rain
My dreams last night were weird like that too. My house became some sort of domestic violence shelter and then 2 crazy guys with baseball bats came over because they wanted to kill me. They attacked an old lady who worked outside and then broke the door down and for some reason I tried to confront them which didn't go well. Then I woke up. I actually had to turn on my light and do a double take and then had to calm down for about half an hour because the fear translated to real life and I thought the baseball bat people were actually in our house
I think Australia is a little bigger than an island, but ditto. It was a nice sunny day yesterday. Still chilly, but the sun was out
