The night before last I had a disturbing dream. It's clear I was down based on the content of the dream, and it involved things like me passing Dixie on to someone else because I was done – all the way done. The disturbing thing about the dream wasn't the content per se, it was my coping options after I woke up – thanks to several factors, including close friends getting demised and stuff, along with some collateral damage from me being so much more isolated, I had a head full of dream I wanted to process and nobody to discuss it with. Being an involuntary introvert due to reduced social options is a form of punishment for me, and this is part of the reason why I'm not sanguine about some of those connections getting sundered.

On the other hand, there's not much I can do about this problem, and of course it's not something those I still have around can grok, because I have an inordinate number of willing introverts in my semi-social circle.

This dream did an interesting job of illustrating the situation I'm in, while leaving me pretty much nothing to do about it; I don't care for information delivery systems that include the tag of "you can't do anything about this".

I hate those dreams. Mine come out of feeling powerless in my waking life, I think, because I only have them when I am going through something that is not yielding to my efforts to change it.

Feel free to email me when those dreams happen? I may be too busy to answer right away, but it will start the process of my getting back to you about it. I can only be an extrovert for short periods of time in my ambiversion but I’ll try.

Random aside: can your screen reader parse sites like this? I’m trying to find stuff where people in north Texas collect themselves on the internet, but I’m not sure what to link you to or not. https://covidsafehotties.boards.net/

I can get to the main page on the site, but it's one set up like a forum, and those are tedious in the extreme unless they do some flavor of RSS -- try this: Start at the top left hand corner of the page and read, out loud, everything, left to right, top to bottom, and see how long you can do it without tossing in the piranha. All of that administrative data is time wasteful for anyone trying to get info from it unless they're doing some kind of search. Many of them also have whacked use of headings, so there's no logical way to accelerate through all the non-important data fields.

At this junction I'm not comfortable relying on you for support in situations involving head phuqery -- we've discussed this in the past, so thanks for the offer, but please don't be offended if I don't call you.
