Still having a lot of intense dreams. My subconscious is restless. I should really record them more, do some sort of dream journal, but I seldom have the time. But I'm procrastinating now so wth?
1. I'm dealing with my bangtui (those black straps that Shaolin monks wear on their forelegs). My robe pants are messed up, too long and catching on the floor. There's a way to fold them properly under the monk socks and then secure it with bangtui but it's not working out for me and keeps bunching funny.
Note: I'm between the two seminars my Shifu Decheng is presenting so this is clearly an anxiety dream. Yesterday was 8 section brocade, something I know pretty well (or thought I did). Today is Luohan (which I'm okay on) and Mantis (which I've completely forgotten and need to review from a vid my KF brother sent me - this is the procrastination). The cf's joined us last night. Hope they show again tonight. Last night was internal qigong work. Tonight will be traditional hard style.
Note 2: Next year is the 20th anniversary of Decheng's school. He's celebrating with a big gathering of disciples at Shaolin and wants me to come. No date is set yet. I've not been back to China since 2004. As a senior disciple, it's an obligation, but cash is tight as I've mentioned previously. Maybe I need to set up a gofundme?
2. I'm at a festival with some of my Arcata crew, Black Peter & SM. It's night and we're headed to the dancehall. Suddenly they disappear and I wind up following some festie nymph through spandex psychedelic canopies. There are lots of cobwebs and I can't see well so I have to shield my face. We crawl under some canopies until we find the dancehall and it's bumpin massive. I reconnect with BP & SM and magically produce a bottle of fyne Irish whiskey - John Lane Powers. Greg appears, bringing up the rear, taking pictures.
Note: With the cancellation of SNWMF & RotR, I didn't get enough Dancehall time over summer (just some at Cali Roots, which was super epic but clearly I'm still jonzin). There's an upcoming JM retreat near Arcata, which I'm thinking of attending, and I'm thinking of bringing a bottle of JL to the Doc, who is putting me up if I go. Cobwebs appeared on my rear view mirrors this week, which bummed me out because I just washed my car last week (post Yose). And Greg's cameo was clearly a Yose flashback.
Okay, I really need to review my Shaolin Mantis.
