Subject: Hi Brenda. Seems like we're all busy and not posting much. I'll venture an opinion about dreams and see if I can generate some comments... I do think that sometimes dreams are more than they appear, but not always. Sometimes they ARE our spirits rattling about the ether, but most times they are just our psyches trying to work out "stuff". Do they ever send us messages? Yes, sometimes. So many times I have dreamed of someone I haven't seen or heard from in years and years, only to either get a phone call or letter the next day. And often I dream solutions to problems...solutions that I know didn't come from ME.

[> [> Thanks for posting Betsy. I hope the wedding went well! My personal feelings about dreams are that they are divided into two types. In one type, our brains are just processing things that are happening in our lives (eg the "back to school nightmare I always get before school starts in September where I end up with the class from hell). The other type seems to be more spiritual (eg dreaming of things that eventually happen...premonition dreams, etc.) It is the latter type that I find fascinating. -- Brenda, 00:56:04 09/07/04 Tue

[> [> [> The wedding went beautifully, Brenda. We didn't think David was going to get to be there, but he was, so nothing else really mattered. *S* Funny how sometimes things are just smacked into perspective, eh? And how IS school going? Did you get the class from hell????? -- Betsy, 20:44:46 09/07/04 Tue

[> [> [> [> I'm glad everything went well, Betsy! I started out the day with 5 behavior problem boys all put into MY class and no behavior problems in the other grade 4 classes (apparently when you have good classroom management you end up with all the "energetic" ones) I thought, "Uh, I don't THINK so!" so I managed to relocate two of them. That leaves me with three behavior problems, a mentally challenged special needs girl, and a boy with a chronic health designation. Not an easy class....but better that it was earlier in the day. Wish me luck! -- Brenda, 00:56:13 09/08/04 Wed

[> [> [> [> [> I DO wish you luck, Brenda. This happened to a dear friend of mine a couple of years ago. She is one of the best teachers I've ever met (she's had 3 of my 4 kids...and I speak from experience, not as a friend), and she was given all the kids noone else could deal with. Not the regular challenges, but the kids who not only had behavior problems, but also had the worst disfunctional families you could imagine. All because she was so good at dealing with all types of children. She was less successful in "spreading the wealth" and is now no longer in the classroom. Biggest loss to our school system ever. She's still in education, but on the technical end. My 18 year old still mourns the loss of Cindy to the classroom. Sometimes I wonder what we're doing to our teachers..... -- Betsy, 10:24:30 09/11/04 Sat
