Would anyone like to analyse my latest dream? It's certainly a lively one.

I dreamed that I was at an aunt's house with a cousin, both of whom I had never met before and don't seem to exist in waking life--so they were basically complete strangers. The house had a similar layout to my old house, oddly enough. I made pancakes for supper, all by myself, and served the other two first, but when I made an extra big one for myself because I was so hungry, bits of Lego and plastic were suddenly in the batter, melting, so dream aunt tossed it out. I had nothing for supper. Then suddenly it was Christmas or something, and there were beautiful sparkly presents, but i couldn't have any because I had stayed up til midnight [there was a huge vision of a clock with the hands directly at 12:00 at that point]. Then I was down in the basement trying to entertain a horde of little kids, while their parents, a dream uncle and his wife, simply looked on. At first it was alright, and they were all well-behaved and quiet, and I showed them the little kitten stuffies that I had brought with me. But when I picked up the actual black and white kitten that was there, it bit me on the neck [with very large fangs!] and wouldn't let go. It really hurt, but I couldn't get it off for awhile, and the kids were suddenly screaming and running around the way kids do when they are being wild. Once I had detached the kitten, I asked the dream uncle for help, but all he did was give me a purple plastic triangle [according to him it nullified poison...] and showed me a picture of him and his family on an expensive trip, all riding an elephant. I exclaimed that 'this isn't a video game!', and went upstairs to hide somewhere, hopefully quiet, and then woke up.

Can caffeine make you feel calmer? I have never drunk coffee or energy drinks before, only tea. So I drank a redbull, and the only effect I have noticed (might have been imagination) is feeling calmer

Give me caffeine for the things I can change,
And wine for the things I can't.

Caffeine can make you sleepy, contrary to popular belief.
Autism can affect the way drugs work, even reversing effects.

I have had a couple of ciders too, maybe that has something to do with it. Right now I'm feeling a bit twitchy, but still calmer then usual. This is worth trying again!

I used to drink cider but mostly wine now.
It's cheaper and gets you drunker.
And it's made from fruit.
It's the 2 serves out of my 2 and 5.

Thank you.. Yes, I'm aware of that autism can make drugs have strange and unusual effects. I had read that coffee could increase anxiety in people with GAD (general anxiety disorder), so I have been afraid of trying it

Ha ha Yes, because it's made out of fruit it is very healthy!
I still have the redwine throwing up experience close in mind..
I get drunk on very little, so cider is a good solution. Wine, vodka and bailies is also an option at times.

I bought a raw chickentigh today. Looking forward to trying it out. My first boyfriend was really good at making food. I remember once he loosened the skin on a raw chicken (the breast area) and then showed butter underneath and then put it in the oven. It was SOOO juicy to eat!

Breasts can be dry but thighs are always juicy.

Yeah I know (why did I get dirty thoughts from that )

But.. maybe the thigh can get even juicier with that method mentioned. Anyway I have never cooked chicken from raw state before.

Made something tasty lately you? Complicated dishes seem to be something you are interested in

^ because it was an innuendo.

I love to cook.
Mostly everything I make from scratch.
Often from home grown ingredients.
There's something very calming about cooking.
It's a long running joke in my household that I chop all the vegetables etc into precise, identical sized pieces, and it's true, I do.

Lettuce soup is delicious, although I have my doubters.
The doubters aren't willing to try it, otherwise they'd be believers.

^^That sounds lovely.

I have experienced making food from scratch (more or less) and then doing the dishes manually, does give a little meaning to life. I think it's because it's one of the few things that are natural for us to do. In third world contries that's often all they do.
Also I think it's got something to do with doing something practical. It means less time spent thinking and doing nothing.

I'm a "doing things manually" freak.
Maybe why I'm still somewhat sane??
Doing things manually and with focus is meditation in practise.
You don't have to sit crosslegged and say om.

Lately I've been finding the Om meditation sexual.
Not sure what that's about, but it seems an accepted response.
