And every couple of weeks, I would drive those four long hours to spend a few fleeting hours with my son and daughter. Then I'd turn the car around and drive back to the city, to the apartment, to my books.
Every time I saw my children waving goodbye, inside me a dark presence was waving a blade, slicing away at my heart. As I stared at the pages of my books, I saw no letters, no words, only the faces of my children.
Most importantly, my new home was about three miles from where my children lived. I was able to take them to school and pick them up on my days off. We played in the park down the street. We swam at the local indoor pool, all year long. We made up for lost time, grew closer.
But my dreams of being a professor, well, they were dead. And I confess that, in times of selfish weakness, I still muttered to myself,
There go my years of study.
There go my aspirations.
There goes my life.
This post tells a very small part of a much larger story that I've written about in my book, Night Driving: Notes from a Prodigal Soul, available October, 2017. You can read more about it and pre-order your copy at Amazon. Thanks!

Our heart is to be supportive to anyone who is on a healing journey. We are also passionate about being a place of refuge for anyone leaving or escaping environments that would be considered abusive or oppressive.
One of our dreams is to see Short Creek become a beacon of hope and healing internationally. While many people that were in bondage are living their lives victoriously and freely, there are still a multitude of fundamentalist groups in the USA and other countries where people are still in need of help.
The Short Creek Dream Center is also a part of the largest network of organizations that help victims of human trafficking. Trafficking comes in many different forms and we want to see anyone suffering from exploitation be set free and have a place to go for support.
Running a 44-bedroom recovery center comes with a lot of expenses and things like toiletries, kitchen supplies, therapy items, etc. add up. Help us out by purchasing something we need directly off our Amazon Wishlist!

Pedro Casciaro was one of the earliest members of Opus Dei, the Catholic organization founded by St. Josemara Escriv in 1928. Casciaro joined Opus Dei in 1935 at the age of 20. He lived beside the founder during the difficult years of the Spanish civil war and was ordained in 1946. He had become one of St. Josemara's most trusted aides in the worldwide development of Opus Dei.
In this book, Fr. Casciaro reveals for the first time his personal recollections of Opus Dei's founder, which span a period of forty years. "He brings us a vivid narrative, written with a tremendous sense of humor which highlights our founder's human and supernatural traits," comments Bishop Echevarra, the Prelate of Opus Dei. "As can readily be imagined, these pages are invaluable..."
When Pedro Casciaro died in Mexico in 1995, he realized he had been able to savor the truth encapsulated in those words St. Josemara had whispered to him some sixty years earlier: Dream and your dreams will fall short...
Pedro Casciaro (1915-1995) was a Spanish Catholic Priest and founding member of Opus Dei. After the Spanish Civil War, he completed his mathematics degree and taught math and English. Throughout his priestly vocation, he lived in Mexico and Rome while continuing the work of Opus Dei, and traveled to Kenya to help found Strathmore University, the first interreligious and multiracial educational initiative in Africa. He held the position of Counselor of Opus Dei in Mexico and was part of the General Council of Opus Dei in Rome.
The first six shorts star Baymax interacting with a different character in every episode. Every short starts with Baymax saying "Hello, I am Baymax" with some variables such as his outfit. They were first made available in different official Disney regional accounts and were posted months later by Disney Channel's international account.
The second series of shorts, titled "Baymax Dreams", was released beginning in September 2018. They feature Baymax in "dream" sequences. Unlike the previous shorts, they mix the show's 2D animation with 3D animation created using Unity Technologies' real-time rendering technology.
On January 28, 2021, a special interactive short titled "Baymax Dreams of Fred's Glitch" was released. A non-interactive version of it was made available on YouTube a week later. A website was also launched.
The third series of shorts, titled "Big Chibi 6: The Series" (alternatively known as "Big Chibi 6: The Shorts") was released starting in November 2018. They are based on Karmi's fan-fiction sequences from "Fan Friction". The shorts filled the gap between Season 1 and Season 2's airing date, and are considered part of Season 2[1].
To continue developing the word search tools of the Sleep and Dream Database (SDDb), I really need to get some clarity on this point. The frequencies of word usage identified by the SDDb tools vary a great deal depending on whether the dreams have a smaller or larger number of total words. Is this a problem, or not?
I also have a personal reason for wanting to explore the question. In early 2015 I began a new approach to my own dream journaling practice, which has led to at least one remembered dream every night for more than two years. This is approximately double my recall rate for the previous several years. The 2015 dreams were also shorter on average (74 words) than the dreams from previous years (all averaging 100+ words). This made me wonder about possible changes in the content patterns of my dreams before and after 2015.
As I already knew, the increased recall in 2015 happened at the shorter end of the word length spectrum. My new approach to recall seemed to yield a lot of short dreams that I might not have remembered or recorded in previous years. Then the 2016 dreams shifted again, with a more even distribution of word lengths, closer to the previous years but with higher total numbers.
For each of the 20 subsets of dreams I used the SDDb 2.0 word search template to determine the frequencies for 40 categories of word usage, organized into 8 classes (Perceptions, Emotions, Characters, Cognitions, Social Interactions, Movement, Culture, and Elements).
The results of this analysis suggest that shorter dreams are not dramatically different from longer dreams in terms of the relative proportions of their word usage. The raw percentages of word usage do rise from shorter to longer dreams, of course, but the relative proportions generally do not.
This finding suggests the proportions among the word categories do not, for the most part, dramatically change across word lengths. These proportions can be found in short, medium, and long dreams. Even very short dreams preserve the basic architecture of typical dream content.
