Astronomy and Dreaming

On the astronomy front, Venus and Jupiter were conjunct last Wednesday, and the sky was clear enough that I was able to photograph them while they were fairly close to each other.  It seems like the sky clouds over on nights when there is going to be a conjunction, so I was pleased that the fall-back photos I'd taken a few days earlier were not needed.  I was able to capture a few views of Jupiter's moons, which was an extra bonus.

On the dream front, I'm coming to the conclusion that the amount of dreaming with interesting imagery that I can recall is positively correlated with how much fantasy and science fiction I read.  I suppose that building the (sometimes fantastical) visual images in my head keeps working as I sleep and comes out as cool dreams (as opposed to anxiety dreams).  If I really wanted to document the process, I'd keep a reading log and a dreaming log to see if there's a particular author or genre that is dream inducing.

On the writing front, there's (very) slow progress.  I suppose I should be grateful for any writing I manage to get myself to do.
