I’m Always Dreaming In Technicolor
Happy Easter to you all!
Do you enjoy dreaming? Do you dream in color or black and white?
Do you hear voices, or are your conversations in thought form?
I just had a dream about a job interview for an Art course by a very charming, pretty, blond lady.?!
There were about five candidates. I was the last for the interview. I wanted to do the art course. Of course, I was a lot older than the others, but I wanted to do the art course above all else. I awakened before the conclusion, and the voices in the dream faded, and my last thought was…. I don't want to wake up, I want the art course?!
I then wanted to know how other people formulate dreams.
Do they dream of people they know or strangers? Do they talk or think silently in their dreams? Many experience flying, walking, and running.
Do you dream of the future or the past? Lucid dreaming is when you seek to control your dreams.
Do you hear music or other sounds?
As a child, I dreamed I was a Roman soldier, so I wanted to go to Italy. I also dreamed of a canal in Venice. I threw flowers into a beautiful green canal, and the flowers drifted away. In those days, travel was rare, but in my teen years, people were beginning to travel. In 2006, I dreamed of Australia. A week later, a friend sent me a ticket to Western Australia, which was prophetic.
Both opportunities arose...mainly package holidays.
I went to work in Italy, and later lived in Turkey.
We all have the odd nightmare, too. Certain foods also trigger dreams.
Do you dream of reality, or create imaginative dreams?
It's Easter weekend, so you may have an Easter theme too.
Respect all commenters, chat to friends, eat lots of chocolate, and dream of a better future.
We love music here too.
Happy Easter from Lian and Kieran

Promises Promises Promises, A Broken Heart, And Broken Promises
Is your word your bond?
Do you always keep a Promise? Breaking a contract is also breaking a promise.
Sometimes, it's necessary to break a contract.
If you don't keep a promise, you will lose trust in others.
What do you think of people who break promises? Do you say anything to them?
These tactics may work…
When couples marry, they promise to Love, Honour and Obey, in sickness and in Health, in poverty and in Wealth.
How many lavish weddings do we see, and expensive divorces. Kim Kardashian has had three divorces and is not giving up on the idea of marriage.
Some people are brokenhearted over divorce or a broken romance.

Princess Diana said there were three in our marriage.
Even dogs get married and have puppies
Would you have a wedding for your cat or dog?
You may kiss the bride…
Try to keep away from religion and politics, chat with friends, post memes, gifs, trailers, music and most of all have fun.

How true are projected images? The best of times and the worst of times
Putin
Some public images are a myth, some are a mystery. Some images are totally false and fed to the public. This is very much the case with some Royals or politicians.
To many public figures, image is important.
Some hardships are well hidden from the public; sometimes, the image cracks.
I met Kate, who married Prince William, before she was famous, and she was so natural, polite and pleasant, whereas a couple of Royals were really difficult or arrogant.
We were obviously lied to by Prince Andrew and a lot was covered up.
Apparently, at Trump's latest conference, the Irish President, Catherine Connelly, told Trump the Iran war was illegal. He replied, ‘HE’ should appreciate him and what he was doing for world peace! Source BBC News.
There is, of course, character assassination, where politics, etc., are concerned.
I’ve been watching videos about Elizabeth I. Each story differs. Some say she was a man, that she was not a Tudor, as Ann Boleyn had an affair, and King Henry was not her father! Other videos say she was a man or that she killed herself with mercury poison and the sticky white makeup on her face. Who really knows?
Anyway, the recent times are not the best of times, because of conflicts and wars. The 60s and 70s were!
We are heading into difficult global situations.
In teaching and hosting exhibitions, one has to present well in front of many people. Do we become the image we present? Did you have an image to present in your work?
We had a dress code. And I always felt sorry for the ridiculous hair nets on people serving at food counters.
Putin also had an image of being tough, doing judo and riding with a bare chest on horseback to show great strength, quite different from today's image, where he is portrayed as weak to the West.

Did you have to present an image at work? Was that the real you?
Do you think some people look ridiculous at work? I’m glad I never wore a uniform.
My director never sent me home.
What were the best or worst of times in your life? Were you happy at work? I found a lot of freedom teaching, choosing materials and subjects, entertaining my classes, they were fun.
I loved wearing jeans at college, but denim was banned in our teaching dress code. I was, however, a rebel over the dress code. Some teachers were sent home. I would not have returned, I’m sure they knew that.
Post music anecdotes, chat, memes, gifs.
Most of all, enjoy!

Squeeze From The Top Or The Bottom?
How do you squeeze your toothpaste tube? Not so easy with the plastic tubes from the bottom!
And I always buy two types of toothpaste, and have five different toothbrushes. White toothpaste is wonderful for tackling stains on clothes, with an old toothbrush. Other products for removing stains are soap or Fairy Liquid, plus salt. Blue or striped toothpaste tastes nice.
I've had some terrible dentists, too. The worst was in Kensington in London, an Australian who split my tooth in two. The other was in Italy, who diagnosed a toothache as une raffradore (a cold in the tooth).
My dentist in London laughed his head off at that explanation. The dentist in Kusedesi in Turkey was good, but I had a filling sitting in a wooden chair, no wonderful couch that went up and down with a reclining back. I was quite shocked. At least I saw a dentist.
My dentist here is a very nice guy, but he isn’t the best dentist in the world. Dentists are hard to find.
I never have an anaesthetic. I don’t feel great with them. And it’s usually over quickly without feeling groggy, much better. Pain is short, so no real problem.
Can’t say it’s a job that I would like, looking into people’s mouths. What a horror story!
A smile is an asset, especially with lovely teeth.
Remember, no religion or politics and respect all posters. play music, share memes and gifs, and chat with friends.
Relay your experiences.
Most of all, enjoy!
