An avenue for the mind

A strange dream

Some days ago I had a curious dream. I dreamt I was in my Chinese class; my teacher and partners were making some criticisms to me (don't remember about what), but they all were speaking in a non-sensic way resembling Mandarin Chinese. I felt a little uneasy, but no so much as to not listen quietly. Then, when it was my turn to say something, a striking idea came to my mind: I realized all of the people I was seeing were my creations, produced by my own imagination. I told them so, this time in (actual) Spanish.

I'm very surprised I've reached such a level of self-consciousness in the middle of a dream. Have you ever had an experience like that? I don't know how can it be possible, or whether this self-awareness is just illusory, a mere copy of an authentic state of self-awareness.

In vacations at last

Recently I've delivered my last written exam this semester. Finally I'm in vacations!! Next year I only should make my undergraduate thesis and that's all. It's been a long time since I started to study in university and now it's time for my diploma.

It feels strange to be at this point: it feels good, but scary at the same time. What will I do with my life after my graduation? That's an important matter because it'll be very soon and I'm going to need more money. What I really have in mind is to keep studying philosophy, and that demands money: a postgraduate degree is so expensive that I can't afford it myself alone. It's time to find out ways. It's time to be completely responsible for myself.
