My World Imagined

 Somewhere, I have been told that only incomplete dreams are remembered.  Dreams are part of the subconscious mind that gives way to conflict and/or desires.  To me, conflicts and desires are opposite ends of a spectrum.  In some cases, you can have conflict with what you desire, and visa versa, but when it comes to remembering dreams, remembering them rarely happens when the dream thought is complete, finished, resolved, done with.

 All this meaning that once the subconscious mind completes a dream sequence, the issue or desire is resolved or satisfied, leaving little room to revisit or remember.  It makes sense when you think of it in terms of problem-solving.  Once you solve a problem, yo no longer have to spend time or energy on that issue any longer.  See how that works?

 Doctors, scientists, and people that work in that field of study have many many theories, and they all consist of relating to the individual that's doing the dreaming.

 It's not alarming that some sleepers remember their dreams and others don't, many may question if they even dream at all.  I say that there is more than likely a chance that everyone dreams, but withing their dream, they tend to complete their dream whereas there is no need to remember.  Meaning their completed dream has gone to a place of satisfaction where it no longer have relevance.  

 I say, when a person is awakened by a dream or any outside distraction, it's more of a chance to recall what you were dreaming about because the thought/dream is incomplete and/or interrupted, but the mind doesn't forget, it just moves on to another subject. My theory for saying this lies within this question:  Have you ever been awakened from a good dream then attempt to go back asleep to recapture that same dream?  It never happens.

 There are life oriented or work related dreams that are re-occurring night after night and don't seem to really have a resolve.  I feel that it is due to a cycle in your daily awake life that is done routinely ...such as going to a job doing the same thing, or walking the dog around the same block night after night at the same time every evening and morning.  It isn't something that needs to be resolved in your dream, but can easily be altered in life.  Take on a mew project at work or take the dog on a new route... It may be the one thing that stops that re- occurring sequence of dreams.

 People who tend to remember their dreams also respond more strongly than others to hearing their name when they're awake, new research suggests.

 Everyone dreams during sleep, but not everyone recalls the mental escapade the next day, and scientists aren't sure why some people remember more than others.

 I do believe that dreams are our connection to the conscious and subconscious that allow us to be uniquely us.  I also feel that it is a good practice to pay attention to our dreams as they are guides that can lead us to our greater possibilities.  If ever dreaming, and you  grab hold to something in you dream, you can almost bet that you will remember that dream vividly because it contained something you felt you had possession of.

 With every dream, there is something that will be left behind.  ...Usually mental opposed to physical.  Never stop dreaming.  
The world is yours imagined.

Multiple Image Photography

(Check out the video below for more image ideas)

 

  

 Have you ever wanted to express yourself with an image.

An image of you and your alter-ego?

Or simply show another side of yourself?

Have you ever wanted to know what the other you would do if you met yourself for the first time?

How about destroying the bad side of yourself so that you can be free from yourself?

Maybe you just want to sit and chat with yourself.

Any and all of the scenarios can come to life with my (multiple) image photos. 

The images can be created to express a simple thought or a complex situation. You decide.

Some of us have a flip side to our coin, while others may wear many hats, each containing its own personality.

I allow my camera to capture the mirror image of what we see and sometimes what we want to see.  Who we are is sometimes complex, but what we are is often never known.  I like to creatively expose thoughts through imagery.  You can also express yourself through this format of creative imagery too. Allow me to offer my creative help to get your thoughts across.

Feel free to contact me through facebook in boxing and let's get started... I will walk you through the procedure.  All you have to do is have an imagination and I can supply the rest.

Multiple image photography is one of the ways that I express myself and it promotes healthy expressions.  In turn, it allows me to see myself in ways that others might not see me.

(Click on this video to see more image ideas)

Now that I have honed in on this creative skill, I am willing to extend this art form to you so that you too can creatively express yourself with images that you help create.  Contact me, Share your thoughts, let's create.  (If you cannot come up with a concept of your own, let me produce a scenario for you.)

Being Creative in This Way, Keeps Me Healthy

The Afro Flow

Auto Flow Retro Original

 Sum'n bout' an Afro

I just don't know

the way it's so natural

the way that it grow

Sum'n deep down

within my soul

it powers from the root

into a radiant glow

strength to defy gravity

when the wind blow

Gettin' stares from folks

as they watch the show

I define myself

as the uncommon joe

above the norm

not the status quo

The art of creative health is exploring and nurturing the entire you from top to bottom, left to right, from the inside / out.  Look to the smaller things like the color of your finger nails to the strength and shine of your hair to identify any changes... if there are any abnormalities or unusual occurrences, subtle changes or unexpected mood fluxes, it may be time to adjust something in your life. It could be your diet, or simply needing to drink more water or do more exercise.  The real art is to notice differences and do something about it. Make changes to counteract them to optimize your total health.  

Physically, emotionally, psychologically, mentally, spiritually, etc... 

'You Can Levitate'

'I ignore my total body weight

as my mind instruct and delegate

designate and eliminate

doubts that I can levitate.'

Is it really possible for people to levitate?

Though it is possible to levitate objects as big as humans, scientists are a long way off developing the technology for such feats, except in wind cyclones and special safety equipment. The practicalities of designing the lens to do this are daunting but not impossible and levitation “could happen over quite a distance”.  There are sound wave devices that allow objects to stabilize in mid air with the help of special devices and equipment, but rarely used to suspend humans.

An old joke goes, “How do angels fly?” 

The answer is, “They take themselves lightly.”

Through deep meditation and precision practices, there are ways that the mind can become so clear of unwanted clutter and cross thoughts where as the clarity of nothingness can expose the body to a feeling of weightlessness.  This usually takes time in an environment that allows clarity to manifest.  Breathing control plays a large roll in this experience also.  

'Don't just Elevate the mind, Levitate the body'.

The elements of you.

The elements.

I See Clouds

I see clouds differently now

as I stop, observe, and exhale

every breath is meaningful now

as the stress and pain unveil

With a gentile blow in front of me

I see it all floating away

I look close-up to shapes I see

the formations of the day

the vivid colors are blinding

even if in black and white

they swirl around and winding

like the poetry I write

I feel calm after seeing them

dancing around in the sky

I take another dive into them

and bounce like I can fly

I see clouds differently now

Each have a different flavor

depending on how thick the cloud

It's how it affects my behavior

Different shapes and sizes

hiding the horizons...

-Chaka Khan

Lay back, look up and tell me what do you see.  Shapes will begin to form and change, then reshape over and over again as the wind move them to another part of the sky.  One moment it's something familiar.  Next it's abstract.  Hypnotizing, and mellow, the formations come and go.  Some so far away that it blends with the ski in a gradient of blue hues .  Floating in front and behind the moon.  Accenting the air with every sunrise.  I guess the sky would be really cold without the many blankets of clouds.

MIRRORS

Reflective Imagery / Therapy Poetry 

A Friend's Eye Is Like A Good Mirror

no glaring deflections, they see the interior

they will tell you the truth just like it is

but if you don't ask, it's none of their biz

So the next time a friend offers a hand

know that it's honest but please understand

what you hear them say, and see them do

is maybe just a mere reflection of you

The Best Mirror Is An Old Friend

C. Anderson - 07/17

Standing here Naked in front of the mirror

the closer I am to it,  my image get's clearer

It's awesome the image and reflection I see

but the one behind the mirror may be laughing at me

It's not a strange nor unusual thought

that someone is laughing at a vision they caught

It could be that they see my bare naked ass

everyone has one so this too shall pass

Never be Ashamed of Any Part of You

C. Anderson - 07/17

Look into the mirror, that's your best competition

the one in front of you can be a great inspiration

if they do their best in showing you great ambition

You can switch the position, and be the definition

It's all reflective, best results is when we smile

It's even better when we start to flex our style

No need to rush, it might just take a while

but the end results is definitely worthwhile

Keep the Focus on Bettering Yourself

C. Anderson - 07/17

I use my own image a lot due the fact that I can't afford a model that is available every time I get an idea.  nor can I get inspired to create when the subject cannot envision equally.   In an attempt to be creative, any image I create is not meant to disrespect, offend, or in any way to be rude.  I am here to promote a healthier way of living (yes, positive imagery and creative poetry is healthy for the right side of the brain... )  Peace & Light
