I’m having my Easter break, but there isn’t much time to be idle as I got essays to do and need to prepare for exams. Nevertheless I decided I’ll start working seriously from next week and just chill out this weekend. Cambridge’s terms are really short; a 9-month course consists of roughly 5 months classes and 4 months holidays. The hourly tuition’s definitely not cheap. Since the university selects mostly top students, they probably expect students to self-study and work hard on their own. There are probably lots of things to be said about prestigious university like Cambridge (e.g. whether they really add-value, if so, how?), but I guess I will leave this topic for another time.
I just posted some photos of a few gathering I had this term. My hair’s starting to get long, and I’m finding it a bit troublesome. Even though the length’s near the limit I can tolerate, I decided not to cut it until I get back to Bangkok during summer, mainly because I think the hair cut services here are expensive and not really good either. Not sure how long will my hair by then; hope that friends will still recognize me.
I came across some articles on lucid dreams (when you’re aware that you’re dreaming and are able to control it) and watched an animation related to it (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0243017/). Interestingly, I had one recently (without intention), but I didn’t find it too exciting though. This is roughly how it’s like: It seems like you’re awake but you aren’t, like you’re mixing your thoughts with your dreams. What you think somehow become dreams, and different from usual introspection about things that you’re now in a first person point of view interacting actively with the environment. I didn’t find it particularly rewarding as it didn’t help me get in touch with what I don’t already know (although I did try flying a bit). But still it’s an interesting experience since I usually don’t have self-awareness during dream.

I\’ve never thought Cambridge girls could be that cute. It\’s NOT fair.
Anyways, the way you described about your dream is interesting, tho\’ I didn\’t seem to understand every passage – -". There are times when I dreamt that I was dreaming in a dream (GREAT, now I start to confuse myself). Anyways, I\’m not good at talking about dreams in a scientific way, so I think I\’ll just sit back and wait for you to explain to me then.
By the way, please have a hair cut. You still got 3 months (or longer?) to spend there, and I don\’t want to see my friend becoming a hippie.
I can\’t talk dreams in scientific way either, but I think it\’s a fascinating subject nevertheless (aren\’t dreams suppose to be……..dreamlike and not scientific ^^). Lucid dream, from my understanding, refer to someone being able to control his/her actions and environment while dreaming. For me, I\’m not usually conscious of myself being dreaming while dreaming, so lucid dream sounds like a fantastic things to do, but my experience of it (if that\’s truely the thing people talk about) doesn\’t seem too great after all. Anyway, it\’s not something I care about too much, but it\’d be nice if I can make dreams a way to explore possibilities.
I probably won\’t get my hair cut here (pretty determined), and should do that soon after I go back (will get it cut before you we meet so you won\’t see my hippie appearance). I\’m thinking cutting it a lot shorter next time since I may become sick of my hair by then.
