i typically don’t believe in this stuff, but sometimes the very things we don’t believe in have a way of shaking us to our core when we least expect. 

i’ve been having relatively vivid dreams in the last few months, but typically few and far between, and usually the meanings and symbolism behind them obscure and irreverent.  not so with this most recent one, the one last night.  summed into only a few words, the dream took place in the few moments immediately following armageddon, only the few hundreds of people left, including most that i knew, drifting across an open sea on battleships and floating townhomes with the delusion that there was somewhere for us to go, something for us to move onto. 

curious, i consulted a dream dictionary, and this is what it had to say:

of armageddon: to dream about armageddon now is usually a deep-rooted fear that your world is about to change dramatically. by “your world” i am referring to everything around you, your job, your family etc. in prophetic dreams armageddon predicts a dramatic change in one’s life.

of the sea: to dream that you are lost at sea, suggests that you are drifting around in life without any direction.  you are feeling overwhelmed by emotions.

two yarn knot necklaces, knitted + crocheted by yours truly.  i’m particularly fond of how the blue one turned out.

the entire spring 2010 collection is perfection.  my hands-down favorite is the hexagon ring - one can dream, right?

isn’t it strange that human beings will invariably expect the worst to happen only so that if and/or when things do inevitably turn for the worst, they find comfort and solace in telling the world and themselves ‘i told you so?’

i’ve been an awful blogger lately - i’m so sorry!  life has thrown a few excellent curveballs my way in the past few weeks and hopefully i can now finally find some time to get caught up.  in the meantime, revel in the perfection of these b store oxfords that came in the mail yesterday; best part was i only ordered them four days ago and they’re already here = win!
