I do this at work when the PC is on timer, I'm sure people think I'm on drugs!!

Ha! Nothing looks weirder than going through your routine (or parts of it) while at your desk. I have gotten the strangest looks!!! I don't care. My coworkers are used to me by now so they just shake their heads. Visitors don't know what to think (my desk is a reception area). The closer I get to my competition, the more I do this.

I was thinking about something more along the lines of taking the dream, putting it in a bottle, then drinking it, and Walla--DOUBLE AXEL!

Yup, I've had skating-related dreams. Last night was only peripherally skating related: I was back at my parents and they were hosting a huge dinner party with lots of my friends from different phases of my life, and Johnny Weir was there (along with a few other D-list celebs) for some reason. Whatever!

I have now had the same dream twice, so I am starting to think it might have meaning.

Both times I was doing the (Australian) Elementary 1 figures pattern back changes of edge and back 3 turns, and doing it well, with speed, flow and confidence. Which is not how I would do it right now, I can assure you.

I am a firm believer that dreams can give you messages but every person has their own interpretation. Whether the message for me is to commit to working towards taking this test, I don't know, but I am definitely thinking about it.
